Super Bowl 50 features press conferences every day

One of the hallmarks of every Super Bowl is having the players and coaches asked the same questions day-after-day. How many different ways can the press ask Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning if he plans to retire after this game? At 39 he is the oldest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl.
And the many times Cam Newton was asked about playing against a legend like Peyton Manning, “Everyone knows I respect, not only Peyton, but every single person that shares the Manning last name, but I’m not getting prepared for him.” Instead, Newton is focused on Broncos defensive end DeMarcus Ware and outside linebacker Von Miller, two key members of the best defense in the NFL.
Besides Media Day on Monday, the two teams hold press conferences on different days so the media has a chance to ask questions of the coaches and players from both teams. On Tuesday the Broncos held forth in the Super Bowl 50 Media Center, in San Francisco. On Wednesday the Panthers took the stage.

We are not the typical news website – nor do we wish to be. We will be offering more than news and blogs, but an opportunity for fiction writers, poets, comedians and musicians to showcase their talent and skills. Much like when the Beatles formed Apple Corps Ltd, they opened the door to all kinds of inspiring talent that never really got a shot. From that came the likes of James Taylor and others. We hope by providing a similar approach we can shine the light on some tremendous undiscovered talent and at the same time offer some familiar voices who live in Los Angeles and beyond.
