Broncos win Super Bowl 50

 Jesus Martinez | Multi Sports Writer

There is no time remaining, the football year is over, and it had its glorious ending, with a dominant champion. This is the Denver Broncos, the Super Bowl 50 Champions. They beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on Sunday, as their Defense dominated the contest. They were able to force two turnovers and get six sacks on Cam Newton, a Super Bowl record. Von Miller was awarded MVP, he had 2.5 Sacks, with two strip-sacks resulting in turnovers. Peyton Manning finished what was likely his last game with a Super Bowl Game. The defense created problems and it led to a well-deserved Super Bowl for the Broncos.

Super Bowl 50 Predictions

Jesus Martinez | Main Columnist

The Super Bowl is following a familar line: No #1 Offense vs No #1 Defense. Cam Newton looks to win his first Super Bowl, and usher in a new era in the NFL. Peyton Manning Peyton Manning is familiar with this, as he had a recordbreaking offense in 2013, but the Seahawks were too much, as they demolished 43-8. Now, the Broncos have the Number 1 defense in the NFL, as it is evident due to Peyton Mannings unstable offense. We saw their Number 1 ranking proven in the AFC Championship Game when the Patriots were beaten 20-18. Tom Brady was sacked 4 times and had two interceptions. He got hit 16 times, the most QB hits since 2006! Meanwhile, the Panthers host a No #1 Offense, with MVP Cam Newton leading the charge with an explosive Panthers team, which resembles the 1985 Chicago Bears. However, having a No #1 offense doesn't guarentee Super Bowl winning results. So does the motto "Offense wins games, Defense wins championships" follow suit? Or does Cam Newtons offense dance their way to the Lombardi Trophy? Here are some predictions by our writers:

Jesus Martinez: This will finish out as one of the greatest Super Bowls we have ever seen. Period. Cam Newton is enjoying one of his greatest years as a QB, and it’s clear this team will dominate for years to come. Their defense is ranked #3 in the NFL, and they play with looseness and swagger that no one in the NFL has had. That being said, Peyton Manning is play his last game of his career, and everyone on that team knows that. There are statistics and metrics, but there is one thing you cannot measure in football, and that is the heart, the heart and spirit of a team.

Broncos 24, Panthers 21

Chris Giraldo: Peyton Manning went through one of the most turbulent years of his career, and at the end he is one win away from his second ring. Hollywood couldnt write what we noticed. This will likely be the last game of his career, and a win would immortalize him as one of the greatest QB;s to ever play the game. Their defense is a cut above, as they shut down Tom Brady's offense, in a game which the Patriots were favored heavily.

Broncos 27, Panthers 24

Raul Polomo: Is that even a question? Cam Newton! MVP of the 2015-16 season?!? Panthers all the way.

Panthers 28, Broncos 14

Bailey Bertot: Peyton Manning is about to be taken to school just like he did to Eli his entire career. Panthers win, and if the Broncos do win, it will be because of their defense. Peyton Manning is done, he doesn’t have an arm anymore. They can win if Cam Newton throws three pick 6’s out of sympathy.

Panthers 24, Broncos 16

Xavi Alvarez: Peyton Manning is going to resurrect and go beast mode on the Panthers one more time.

Broncos 41, Panthers 10

The Ole Miss Watch: NCAA Sanctions?

Jesus Martinez | Main Columnist

​​

February 2, 2016:

Ole Miss is being slammed down for NCAA violations. It is believed that the University has 28 infractions of rules, and the NCAA will take that into effect when they will give them stipulations for the 2016-17 athletic year. Friday (1/29/16), the University of Mississippi athletics program was charged with over 30 rule violations by the NCAA. It is alleged that 5 violations correlate to the Laremy Tunsil situation that occurred last year. He received improper benefits and illegal gifts that were not allowed on under NCAA regulations, and was suspended seven games because of this. Ultimately, these violations will effect recruiting and create an obstacle of success.

As for the punishments, infractions can be rated on three levels:

Level I

Level II

Level III

Level I is the most serious violations, and if claimed to be Level I, a football program can receive the NCAA Death Penalty. If any sanctions occur within the University, then it could affect them within recruiting. Players won’t want to go to Ole Miss because “they won’t be on National TV, or they can’t play in a bowl game.” Stay tuned for updates.

Jesus Martinez | Main Columnist

I will be currently updating the article with latest commitments and declarations. Throughout the day I'll put up more and more recruits declarations to attend.

Yesterday, 9:30 PM:

Yesterday was an active day for the Miami Hurricanes. Although they did receive a commit in 4 star safety Romeo Finley (Niceville), it wasn't a good day to say the least. Miami lost two commitments from top ranked ATH Tyler Byrd. He announced on Periscope that he will be heading to Tennessee. 

Rashan Gary Commits to Michigan: Reaction and Thoughts

Jesus Martinez | Multi-Sport Writer

The Number one overall recruit has made his decision, and has decided to play in Ann Arbor and Jim Harbaugh. The 5 star DL boasted over 50 scholarship offers, and towards the end there were only four teams left in the running: Clemson, Michigan, Alabama, and Auburn. There were numerous attempts by Clemson to get the No.1 overall recruit. Former players came by to recruit him, current commits attempted to persuade him to go to Death Valley, claiming he would be the next best DL, succeeding first round pick Vic Beasley Jr. and first round lock Shaq Lawson. Towards the week before signing day, he even took an official visit, in which Clemson even sent his mom a cake. The day before signing day, the list trimmed down to two teams, Clemson and Michigan. He was really interested to play for the Wolverines, as he took an unofficial visit.

REPORT: Browns planning to cut Manziel; will be released next month

It was announced today that the Cleveland Browns are parting ways with Johnny Manziel in order to free up cap space. This resulting after another incident with Johnny Manziel and his girlfriend. This was apparently the last straw with the organization, as Manziel has had a string of off-season issues since getting drafted back in 2014.
