Cam Newton wins MVP: falls short of ultimate goal

Cam Newton was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player on Feb. 6th, one day before playing the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Ever since the Carolina Panthers drafted Cam Newton back in 2011, there have been a large number of both critics and fans who have questioned whether or not Newton could be the face of a franchise and lead a team to a championship. Newton dazzled fans everywhere as he and the Panthers decimated the NFL this season.

Sunday night possibly marked the end of an era. At Super Bowl 50, Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos defeated MVP Cam Newton’s Panthers in a game that was all about defense with a final score of 24-10.

Thomas Davis’ story of overcoming injury

No pain, no gain. For Thomas Davis, those words are so much more than an overused cliché. Davis has dealt with pain throughout his entire NFL career and now with a trip to Super Bowl 50 lined up, Davis is set to face even more adversity.

Deflategate/Ballghazi scandal

Well, it is that time of year again: The Patriots have found themselves embroiled in yet another scandal. Following their 45-7 victory over the Colts in the AFC Championship Game, concerns were raised that some of the Patriots’ footballs may have been under-inflated, a claim that was later confirmed when it was reported that 11 out of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots were indeed under-inflated during the first half of the game.

Raiders cement Bald Eagles place in record book

Fans at Lock Haven University will remember Saturday’s 49-6 loss against the Shippensburg University football team for a long, long time — not because of a victory, but because of a demoralizing defeat that has cemented the Bald Eagles place in the history books.

Raider offense drubbing opposition

Zach Zulli rockets a pass to Alex Kuljian for an early score. There is no celebration, no over-eccentric dance, just a pat on the helmet and a run back to the sidelines.
