It will soon be time for the talking to stop – and there has been plenty of that this week in San Francisco – and it will be the moment to turn our attention to the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Countdown LIVE! Our build-up to the Super Bowl But there are still a couple more days to ruminate and pontificate over the big storylines that have been written and spoken about countless times in the past few days.Here are six stories to consider as you settle in for the big game from California, which will be show live on Sky Sports. Peytons last rodeo? Manning may only have one game left The 39-year-old Peyton Manning will be the oldest quarterback ever to start in a Super Bowl and he will do so with the weakest set of physical skills at his disposal than at any other point in his storied and legendary career.During the course of the 2015 campaign, Manning has been forced to take a pay cut, benched, injured, humbled, told he came back one year too long and even accused of taking HGH when recovering from his four neck operations in 2011, a claim he denied. My last rodeo comment from Manning to Bill Belichick Mannings milestones Our tribute to his glory so far Yet he remains just 60 minutes away from doing what so few NFL players get to do - leaving the game on their terms as a Super Bowl champion. No one knows quite for sure what Manning is planning for his future but his this may be my last rodeo comments to Bill Belichick a couple of weeks back give a strong indication that this is his final game.If Mannings final game sees him retire as a champion after the most trying season of his career, it will be the story to end all Super Bowl stories.A different animal Cam Newton of the Carolina Panther addresses the media prior to Super Bowl 50 Physics of Newton What makes Cam so special? I cannot wait to watch Cam Newton play quarterback for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday because he is a physical specimen to behold and the hottest player in the NFL right now.I watched Cam walk into a press conference on Thursday and thought they had sent in a defensive end by mistake. He is huge and time and again this week he was described to me as a different animal by Denver Broncos defenders.By the time Sundays game kicks off, there is no doubt that Cam Newton will have been named the Most Valuable Player of the NFL this season. Then we will get to see if he can live up to that billing and win his first Super Bowl title and become exactly what Manning predicted earlier this week… the new face of the NFL for the next decade.A tale of two quarterbacks Manning threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns to lead Denver to its first trip to the Super Bowl in 15 years. Cam v Peyton Kirk Cousins expert breakdown Manning and Newton could not be more different, especially this season. Manning has accounted for just 11 touchdowns for his team including the playoffs while Newton has helped his team get to the end zone 50 times, either through his runs or passes.The pair show that it takes all sorts to play the quarterback position. It is also interesting to note that Mannings worst season of his career has coincided with Newtons best and they are on a collision course in Super Bowl 50. The Carolina Panthers are on their way to Super Bowl 50 thanks to Newton and touchdowns like this... All of that would suggest it is advantage Newton. But we should also take into account that this is Peytons fourth Super Bowl appearance and Cams first. And this week, Manning has handled the media engagements with the poise and control of a politician. Newton, on the other hand, has appeared on the verge of a meltdown and has been the sulkier and surlier Cam that we knew from his early days in the NFL.It might not matter a jot come Super Bowl Sunday but Manning has the big game experience and Newton simply cannot wait to get away from the media engagements and get back to playing and having fun.Wades warriors Wade Phillips is out of the Sky Sports studios and into the Super Bowl A year and a half ago Wade Phillips was out of work, out of the NFL and sitting in a television studio with me covering the NFL Draft for Sky Sports. This week, Wade - who is one of the NFL good guys and a tremendous story-teller and coach - is back on centre stage as the defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos, overseeing the best defence in the NFL.Wade has 38 years of NFL experience under his belt and is masterfully pulling the strings for a Denver D that absolutely hammered and abused Tom Brady in the AFC Championship Game. There are a few plans in place around the NFL to contain Newton, but if anyone can come up with one, it will be Wade.I spoke with Wade this week and he recalled: I thought we did a great job on the NFL Draft. This is sweet because Ive gone from unemployed to the Super Bowl in the space of one year. If the Broncos are to win this Super Bowl on Sunday it will be because of Wade and the efforts of key defenders such as Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware.Heroic defenders Jared Allen denies pain in a broken foot I have spent time catching up this week with two guys I have worked with in recent years here in the UK - Panthers defensive end Jared Allen and Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis. Both are key men on Carolinas roster and both are about to defy medical science and advice by playing in this Super Bowl.Jared is going to play in this game on a broken foot and when I asked him about it he gave me the big sell and told me he is absolutely fine with no problems at all. That was funny to me because Jared was acting like a kid trying to convince his parents that he is well enough to go out and play football in the park - he was forced to sit out the NFC Championship Game by head coach Ron Rivera and was not happy with the decision. It seems he is taking no chances at being sat down this week and has been super-positive about his injury since arriving in San Francisco. Thomas Davis insists he will shrug off injury problems Davis is an absolute warrior and the only player in NFL history to overcome three torn ACLs to the same knee. But there are many - myself included - who wonder how much tackling he can do with a broken right forearm from two weeks ago. Davis only had an operation a week ago and has 12 screws inserted into that arm but insists it will only be a pain tolerance thing and he will be good to go.If both men - who are serving as inspirations to their team-mates - play in this game and the Panthers win, it will be a couple of Super Bowl performances for the ages.The coaches Exclusive interview with Ron Rivera. by his ex-Chicago team-mate Shaun Gayle Both head coaches have played in the Super Bowl - Gary Kubiak as a back-up quarterback for the Broncos and Ron Rivera as a linebacker for the 1985 Chicago Bears. Now they have a shot at winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy as coaches.I have been struck this week by how utterly normal and, dare I say it, boring both men are when it comes to dealing with the media and talking about their teams. And I mean that as a good thing - there are no histrionics and emotional rants with this pair. They are just solid, talented and level-headed coaches who have a good feel for their teams as former players themselves. Gary Kubiak will pit his wits against the Panthers But they will also create quite a story if they win the Super Bowl. In 2013, Kubiak was working so hard as head coach of the Houston Texans that he suffered a mini stroke at half-time of a game. And Rivera was working in television in 1996 before he had an epiphany and realised he had to get into coaching. He worked his way up from the very bottom as an unpaid volunteer coach with the Bears and is now at the very top of the game.Both Kubiak and Rivera deserve their moment in the spotlight on Sunday night but knowing them, they will want our focus to be firmly placed on their players. Enjoy the Super Bowl. For the record, Im going for a Carolina win and think they will emerge victorious by a 27-17 scoreline. How to watch SB50 Television, social media, website...

Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before. WASHINGTON -- When Anthony Rendon hit a three-run home run to put the Washington Nationals ahead, Dusty Baker couldnt contain his excitement. The veteran manager was so excited about Max Scherzer being in line for his 19th win that he celebrated in the dugout with the Cy Young Award candidate.Thanks to Rendon and his own in-game adjustments, Scherzer got that 19th win as the Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 on Tuesday night. Scherzer gets the chance at win No. 20 in his final start Sunday, something Baker was thinking about all along.He really cared about it, Scherzer said of Baker. You could just tell that he really wanted it. That just shows you how great our team is that when were down two runs in the sixth inning we find a way.Scherzer (19-7) shook off a leadoff home run by Jean Segura and third-inning doubles by Jake Lamb and Welington Castillo to get through six innings with just two runs allowed and six hits. He struck out 10 batters for the 13th time this season and 49th time in his career, reaching 277 strikeouts in 2016 to break his own Nationals record set last year.As pumped as Baker was about Scherzer strengthening his Cy Young Award case, the right-hander knew this was an important game, with the Los Angeles Dodgers chasing Washington for home-field advantage in their NL Division Series. The Nationals lead Los Angeles by two games with five to play, after the Dodgers lost 7-1 at San Diego.Thats what were playing for, said Scherzer, who mixed in his slider, curveball and changeup to strike out six consecutive batters at one point. I know the 19 wins, yada, yada, yada, but the most important thing is the team wins. I would love to have Game 5 here at Nationals Park facing the Dodgers. In a short series, home-field advantage matters.After Arizonas Matt Koch held the Nationals without a hit through five innings of his first major league start, Rendon hit his 19th home run of the season, depositing a fastball from Randall Delgado (4-2) into the visiting bullpen in left-center field. That set off Baker and Scherzers emotional celebration and earnedd Rendon a curtain call from the crowd of 24,297.dddddddddddd.It was pretty cool, said Rendon, whose home run was his 500th career hit. Its definitely humbling, too. It doesnt happen too often, so enjoy it.Rendon stepped up with power in the Nationals first game without all-star catcher Wilson Ramos, out for the rest of the season and playoffs after tearing the ACL in his right knee Monday. Backup catcher Jose Lobaton also contributed at the plate like Baker needs him to, and Rendon supplied the big hit at the start of what the manager referred to as hero time with so much at stake.With Ramos out, reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper still not ready to return from a thumb injury and Daniel Murphy out with a strained glute, Rendon is needed more than ever and he delivered.Hes a guy that can hit second, third, fourth, fifth depending on who we have out there, Baker said. Hes virtually unfazed by almost any situation. You cant tell when hes excited and that helps him at the plate.KOCH COMES THROUGHKoch impressed manager Chip Hale by being so aggressive and effective in his first start after five relief appearances. Lobatons single in the sixth ended the no-hit bid, but the 25-year-old probably wouldnt have been able to go much longer with a pitch limit around 75.The right-hander finished with 69 pitches, 47 for strikes.This was a guy who has already shown in the relief appearance that we gave him that hes not afraid and he goes right at guys, Hale said.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Hale said RHP Rubby De La Rosa successfully had stem cell injections in his elbow. De La Rosa is trying the stem cell procedure in an attempt to avoid a second Tommy John surgery.Nationals: LHP Sammy Solis threw a perfect seventh inning in his first appearance since Aug. 15 after a stint on the DL with shoulder inflammation.UP NEXTLHP Gio Gonzalez (11-10, 4.51 ERA) starts the third of the four-game series for the Nationals against Diamondbacks RHP Shelby Miller (2-12, 6.47).
