:03:37. > :03:40.This is what it's all about, Super Bowl 50,
:03:41. > :03:50.the Vince Lombardi Trophy, made at Tiffany 's in New York City.
:03:51. > :03:54.We are here on radio row where all the news broadcasters are,
:03:55. > :03:57.and what's crazy about this, you can get the great Joe Montana
:03:58. > :04:07.This is my good friend, and he allowed me to have a locker
:04:08. > :04:19.If you smelled, you would have been on the other side.
:04:20. > :04:21.Give me some predictions, what are you thinking?
:04:22. > :04:27.Trying to create a narrative where Peyton Manning walks off
:04:28. > :04:32.into the sunset with his championship ring like John Elway...
:04:33. > :04:39.I just can't see it, Caroline is so good.

:04:42. > :04:47.We had a chance to talk to both quarterbacks and we asked them
:04:48. > :04:52.to name their favourite Coldplay song.
:04:53. > :04:54.One was a huge fan, named Clocks as their favourite song,
:04:55. > :05:06.Will this affect who you root for on the big day?
:05:07. > :05:12.Well, this changes things significantly.
:05:13. > :05:20.It is definitely the Denver Panthers we are rooting for, OK?
:05:21. > :05:26.We are now outside Levi's Stadium, you may have to take my word for it
:05:27. > :05:28.as they have obscured most of it with a giant marquee.
:05:29. > :05:35.For both of you, this is the first time you have experienced the whole
:05:36. > :05:37.Super Bowl week, so how have you found it?
:05:38. > :05:39.It's amazing, it's unbelievable what the NFL has done.
:05:40. > :05:42.There are so many things to do, so many different experiences
:05:43. > :05:48.I've never really done it until now, to have the access to do it.
:05:49. > :05:50.Now I realise why it is such a great event.
:05:51. > :05:53.You've been to a Super Bowl as a player, as a player
:05:54. > :05:56.are you aware of what's going on around it?
:05:57. > :05:58.Somewhat, but you are so focused and locked
:05:59. > :06:05.I can't believe all the stuff that is going on over here,
:06:06. > :06:11.I spent all my time focusing on playing the game when I could
:06:12. > :06:19.Think of all the parties and gigs you could have been to.
:06:20. > :06:22.Playboy parties, Rolling Stones, I could have been having the time
:06:23. > :06:29.Instead I had to go out and play football.
:06:30. > :06:32.It is unique from an American perspective, if you look at other
:06:33. > :06:34.sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, they are all decided
:06:35. > :06:39.This is the only American sport that has a one-off game in a neutral city
:06:40. > :06:44.And that's why every game is so special.
:06:45. > :06:52.Now no matter what these two teams have done,
:06:53. > :06:57.This is the true definition of the NFL.
:06:58. > :07:02.You could be 18-0 and lose the one game on that particular day.
:07:03. > :07:05.That's what makes the NFL so special.
:07:06. > :07:10.You are undermining Carolina by saying that,
:07:11. > :07:25.Doing the gigs out in the Bay Area of San Francisco, we've had
:07:26. > :07:37.When we actually get inside there, we'll have Bruno Mars,
:07:38. > :07:41.the national anthem sung by Lady Gaga.
:07:42. > :07:42.The fans are getting their money's worth.
:07:43. > :07:44.Coldplay is great, I've seen them before, I love them.
:07:45. > :07:50.People actually turn the volume up on their TV at half-time.
:07:51. > :07:52.Coldplay, Beyonce, but my favourite is Lady Gaga.
:07:53. > :08:05.I don't know at what point I'm meant to stop you.
:08:06. > :08:10.I've got the whole thing going, Lady Gaga.
:08:11. > :08:14.Moving back to half-time, I can't take you singing...
:08:15. > :08:22.Half joking but Cam Newton said to Ron Rivera, Clocks is playing,
:08:23. > :08:33.They will be trying to work out what is going on,
:08:34. > :08:35.he might have his ear next to the door.
:08:36. > :08:37.So disrespectful to the Denver Broncos.
:08:38. > :08:41.One final thing on the NFL, three games in London,
:08:42. > :08:44.they have chosen this week to say they will expand again
:08:45. > :08:50.and the Raiders will be having a game in Mexico.
:08:51. > :09:00.As you know, I'm an employee and to see the NFL kicks band
:09:01. > :09:02.in the way it is, soon they will have
:09:03. > :09:07.I can't wait for it all, to see the NFL expanding.
:09:08. > :09:10.Wherever you go you will take Lady Gaga with you.
:09:11. > :09:12.Let's move onto the football and not the very quickly.
:09:13. > :09:15.Osi has chosen Denver to tell us the story of how they won
:09:16. > :09:28.The Denver Broncos started the season in unimpressive form.
:09:29. > :09:29.Defense contributing more than their offense.
:09:30. > :09:31.Even the record-setting Peyton Manning was belittled
:09:32. > :09:33.when the Kansas City Chiefs came to Mile High city.
:09:34. > :09:36.Good afternoon and welcome to sports authority field in Mile High.
:09:37. > :09:37.Kansas City comes in feeling pretty good.
:09:38. > :09:39.They think they can come and take one.
:09:40. > :09:42.They are picking everything they can find!
:09:43. > :09:44.That is going to be the fourth interception.
:09:45. > :09:50.Brock Osweiler, as Peyton Manning looks on.
:09:51. > :10:04.This is the break the Broncos needed.
:10:05. > :10:12.And the kick is good, tied at the buzzer!
:10:13. > :10:19.I asked you to go out there and fight for 60 minutes,
:10:20. > :10:25.Monday Night Football with a lot at stake.
:10:26. > :10:27.Wide open in the end zone, touchdown!
:10:28. > :10:48.Peyton Manning getting his first start in 63 days.
:10:49. > :10:57.CJ to the end zone, touchdown, Denver!
:10:58. > :11:06.They advance to the AFC Championship Game.
:11:07. > :11:09.This could be the final chapter of Brady and Manning sharing
:11:10. > :11:17.60 minutes of football, we are underway.
:11:18. > :11:20.Caught in the end zone, Owen Daniels has wrestled his second
:11:21. > :11:30.The third sack of the game by this Broncos defense.
:11:31. > :11:37.Two-point conversion must for the Patriots.
:11:38. > :11:51.Going to Super Bowl 50, as they are the America
:11:52. > :11:53.Football Conference champions.
:11:54. > :11:55.Keep an eye on Von Miller and CJ Anderson.
:11:56. > :12:07.Check him out here, and you have never seen a guy with this kind
:12:08. > :12:09.of speed coming off the edge as he beats the offensive lineman
:12:10. > :12:11.and gets to the quarterback immediately.
:12:12. > :12:15.Look at the explosion and he gets to the quarterback and baptises Tom
:12:16. > :12:22.Right here you are going to see him use the exact same move coming
:12:23. > :12:35.He's going to run right around again, swipe his hands away and get
:12:36. > :12:42.This is a great move by Von Miller, look at the speed, he gets
:12:43. > :12:47.One of the best athletes out there playing football.
:12:48. > :12:50.Now we've got CJ Anderson who is also a great player.
:12:51. > :13:02.Not really the fastest guy but he's very strong and has great vision.
:13:03. > :13:05.Watch him against the Green Bay Packers, watched the cut he makes.
:13:06. > :13:07.One move, watch the cut that he makes.
:13:08. > :13:10.Right here you see it against New England Patriots,
:13:11. > :13:16.And here he is going to do the exact same thing.
:13:17. > :13:19.One read, one cut, boom, sticks his foot in the ground,
:13:20. > :13:23.makes one guy miss, and gets all the way to the end zone.
:13:24. > :13:28.CJ Anderson, great player for the Denver Broncos.
:13:29. > :13:31.Right, that's enough from me, time for Jason to see how
:13:32. > :13:34.the Carolina Panthers ended up as champions of the NFC.
:13:35. > :13:45.Right from week one, the Carolina Panthers looked
:13:46. > :13:49.Cam Newton's diving touchdown set the tone for what was merely
:13:50. > :14:02.A game with a playoff-like feel to it.
:14:03. > :14:08.Flips off the edge, gets there, Aaron Rodgers with the sack.
:14:09. > :14:17.We have an opportunity to do something special,
:14:18. > :14:35.What a catch, touchdown, Atlanta has the lead.
:14:36. > :14:36.Looking to thrill, fumbled and recovered by Adrien
:14:37. > :14:39.For the first time in franchise history the Carolina Panthers
:14:40. > :14:43.into the playoff as the number one seed.
:14:44. > :14:47.We created this, we put ourselves in this situation.
:14:48. > :15:04.That is one of the plays of the game.
:15:05. > :15:08.Carolina Panthers are heading to their fourth NFC Championship
:15:09. > :15:17.Welcome to the most important game in the history of Bank of America
:15:18. > :15:24.16 wins have brought the Carolina Panthers
:15:25. > :15:56.Cam Newton is going to run, leaps from the end zone, touchdown.
:15:57. > :15:59.There will be some Panthers silver at the Golden anniversary
:16:00. > :16:07.of the Carolina Panthers, they are heading to Super Bowl 50.
:16:08. > :16:10.The tight end is a quarterback's best friend.
:16:11. > :16:17.On this play he's faking the run block and releasing upfield.
:16:18. > :16:21.Look at him, great fake, great release, is open,
:16:22. > :16:24.he can out run the New York Giants defender.
:16:25. > :16:28.You know it hurts my heart but this is what he does well.
:16:29. > :16:30.Upfield, fakes the defense and accelerates, perfect option
:16:31. > :16:38.You can see the tight end Greg Olsen stretching the defense.
:16:39. > :16:41.It's a significant, most tight ends don't have the speed to get
:16:42. > :16:47.He's so big he can compete for the ball with smaller defenders.
:16:48. > :16:55.Greg Olsen is the second is Luke Kuechly, Captain America.
:16:56. > :17:05.As a linebacker he has great ability in Pascal fridge.
:17:06. > :17:12.Watch him right here, carrying the center of the field
:17:13. > :17:17.You don't see middle linebackers play the ball like that in the air.
:17:18. > :17:20.Once again you see him open up vertically in this seam.
:17:21. > :17:22.Play the receiver and attack the ball.
:17:23. > :17:25.Once again, what he does really well is get a lot of return yards.
:17:26. > :17:28.This guy is going to be very valuable in the game
:17:29. > :17:30.and the quarterback needs to watch out for him because he's everywhere
:17:31. > :17:33.and takes control in the middle of the field.
:17:34. > :17:41.Super Bowl 50 takes place at the Levi's Stadium
:17:42. > :17:42.home of the San Francisco 49ers.
:17:43. > :17:46.It is in Santa Clara, the southern end of the Bay Area.
:17:47. > :17:50.The entertainment will start in just a few hours.
:17:51. > :17:53.Quite entertaining on Monday when Denver and Carolina played host
:17:54. > :18:00.to the world's media including Jason and Osi.
:18:01. > :18:05.Some people hate, some people love media day.
:18:06. > :18:15.We've got media coverage from all around the world.
:18:16. > :18:20.I've known this guy since he was 11 years old.
:18:21. > :18:23.He always told me, you are not going to be great until you win
:18:24. > :18:36.Tell us about the game plan, tell us what you guys
:18:37. > :18:44.The way he plays, he runs the ball well, he's able to string plays out
:18:45. > :18:48.to make those great plays, he orchestrates the defense.
:18:49. > :18:58.You have to be able to slow him down, you can't stop him.
:18:59. > :19:02.He's made a great transition to the NFL.
:19:03. > :19:14.For me, I've always done things differently, played differently.
:19:15. > :19:23.For an athletic quarterback coming out, that person who may have made
:19:24. > :19:28.a mistake in their life, they can look at me and think,
:19:29. > :19:31.Cam Newton did it, I can still have hope to do it.
:19:32. > :19:36.One of these quarterbacks isn't built for this moment.
:19:37. > :19:45.You've got a lot of time and film to watch how do you stay relaxed
:19:46. > :19:50.and not get too caught up in everything going on?
:19:51. > :19:54.If you look in the dictionary, though on the Internet,
:19:55. > :19:57.type in football, it says "A game that is played".
:19:58. > :20:03.When we were kids and they said, let's play a game, you would get
:20:04. > :20:08.That's what I keep doing, having fun with it.
:20:09. > :20:11.This team has guys with charisma, different characters from different
:20:12. > :20:16.places, all over, we all pull in the same direction.
:20:17. > :20:29.Talk to your people in London and explain to them
:20:30. > :20:34.Pretty much I just assassinate quarterbacks.
:20:35. > :20:45.One of my favourite all-time players and favourite all-time celebration.
:20:46. > :20:46.Give us a glimpse of your celebration.
:20:47. > :20:50.Hard to pull it out when it's not gametime.
:20:51. > :21:02.You run through the quarterback and slice away.
:21:03. > :21:06.As I said earlier, the Super Bowl was last played in the Bay Area 31
:21:07. > :21:11.years ago, Super Bowl XIX, between San Francisco 49ers
:21:12. > :21:15.Here are the memories of the 49ers running back,
:21:16. > :21:23.My first Super Bowl I was so busy trying to win I didn't even realise
:21:24. > :21:29.I was the first player to score three touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
:21:30. > :21:41.You get so wrapped up in the game scoring is great but it's not
:21:42. > :21:43.personal, it's for your team, the scoreboard, at the end
:21:44. > :21:47.If you lose, scoring a touchdown doesn't mean anything.
:21:48. > :21:49.When you win it's a great feeling that you contributed
:21:50. > :22:02.It's Super Bowl week and every night is a party.
:22:03. > :22:04.We are doing our best to bring you everyone.
:22:05. > :22:15.We lost the last game against the Giants, it
:22:16. > :22:21.I would much rather have been in London.
:22:22. > :22:31.He has a sweater on, I might have a man crush on this.
:22:32. > :22:46.I haven't even been to the playoffs, come on!
:22:47. > :23:01.You can never have enough predictions.
:23:02. > :23:08.Here is Jason with his former Giants team-mate.
:23:09. > :23:12.Cam has an infectiousness, smile, energy, attitude,
:23:13. > :23:17.Even when they are playing bad it takes over.
:23:18. > :23:25.It's rare for a quarterback to do that on both sides of the ball.
:23:26. > :23:30.They are not going to win this game, they are not going...
:23:31. > :23:34.I did that all the way until the divisional
:23:35. > :23:36.round of the playoffs, then they ran out in front
:23:37. > :23:39.of the Carolina Panthers and scored 80 points in two post-season games.
:23:40. > :23:41.They may win it by a couple of touchdowns.
:23:42. > :23:53.When you analyse that is what it tells you.
:23:54. > :23:55.NFL in particular, basketball, baseball, usually the best
:23:56. > :23:59.Especially with a guy named Peyton Manning on the other side.
:24:00. > :24:02.He plays without mistakes, they limit it to eight possessions
:24:03. > :24:05.for the Panthers, 15 possession game for the Panthers.
:24:06. > :24:09.Maybe they can win and keep it close.
:24:10. > :24:12.After that Carolina scored the most points in the league.
:24:13. > :24:14.There is a reason they scored 80 points in the post-season so far.
:24:15. > :24:21.We've reached the point where we can talk about the game.
:24:22. > :24:28.I see you judging me silently over there.
:24:29. > :24:37.Let me tell you what the problem is, I've been an underdog before,
:24:38. > :24:39.in a game where I was underdog twice.
:24:40. > :24:41.I'm always going to pick the underdog because the underdog
:24:42. > :24:46.And tomorrow is going to be one of those days.
:24:47. > :24:52.As far as the American psyche is concerned.
:24:53. > :24:54.Are Denver the underdog because of Peyton Manning?
:24:55. > :24:58.America loves the all-American boy, whatever you call it,
:24:59. > :25:03.Peyton Manning winning would be a fairy tale story,
:25:04. > :25:11.Cam Newton winning would be the next ten years, yes?
:25:12. > :25:19.Right now, the NFL, the kids, the fans love Cam Newton.
:25:20. > :25:22.I see where he's coming from, being the underdog and all that
:25:23. > :25:25.Peyton Manning has had an illustrious career
:25:26. > :25:30.but it is Cam Newton's time and Carolina Panthers time.
:25:31. > :25:32.Private jet after private jet is flying into San Francisco ahead
:25:33. > :25:36.Why don't you think it is Cam Newton's time?
:25:37. > :25:39.This is the MVP of the league, fantastic football player,
:25:40. > :25:47.Everybody is underestimating the Denver Broncos' defense,
:25:48. > :25:51.He's can have some skin, the coordinator, to contain Cam
:25:52. > :25:56.Everybody thinks Carolina will come out there and run the ball
:25:57. > :25:58.down their throat and destroy Denver Broncos.
:25:59. > :26:03.This time of year you seen everything you can see
:26:04. > :26:06.as a quarterback, there is not something they can throw
:26:07. > :26:12.He's had two weeks to watch everything they've done.
:26:13. > :26:14.They can throw Von Miller, DeMarcus Lawrence.
:26:15. > :26:21.They are players the Denver players haven't seen.
:26:22. > :26:25.I don't think you seem Cam Newton, I don't think he has watched
:26:26. > :26:36.the same tape, Cam Newton can get out of all those situations.
:26:37. > :26:39.Is there any way when people watch tomorrow, if they are with us
:26:40. > :26:41.until the half-time show, and lots of people fall asleep
:26:42. > :26:44.after, is there any way at that stage Carolina could be 20,
:26:45. > :26:47.25 points up, as they have been against various sides this season?
:26:48. > :26:51.Absolutely, they start fast, Denver isn't the type of team that
:26:52. > :27:07.It can happen if Wade Phillips wants to sleep, if the Marquess
:27:08. > :27:10.and Von Miller get injured, it's the only way they will be
:27:11. > :27:15.I preferred you singing Lady Gaga van threateningly,
:27:16. > :27:18.What's the difference when you are in your first
