QB Russell Wilson To Give Commencement
Broncos Punter Forced To Buy $1,800 Super Bowl Ticket For His 1-Week-Old Daughter
MADISON, Wis. -- The Uni- versity of Wisconsin says Seat- tle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will return to Madison this spring to give the school's commencement address.
Wilson spent his final col- lege season at Wisconsin after starring for three seasons at North Carolina State. The uni- versity said Wednesday that Wilson will speak to gradu- ates at Camp Randall Stadium on May 14.
Wilson guided the Badgers to the 2012 Rose Bowl. He led the Seahawks to two consecu- tive Super Bowls, including Seattle's first Super Bowl win to cap the 2013 season.

Cam Newton’s Customized Curry Two Shoes Zip
Open To Reveal Superman
Long before Cam Newton started hitting dabs in the end zone, his signature celebration was one in which he mimicked pulling open his jersey, á la Clark Kent revealing the Su- perman logo beneath his shirt and tie. The Carolina Panthers quarterback has dispensed with even that much subtlety before games, often warming up in a shirt bearing the iconic “S” design.
So when shoe customizer Devlin Braswell was asked to create something special for Newton during Super Bowl week, he knew just what touch to add. The Under Armour Curry Two shoes Newton sported at a press conference Tuesday didn’t just pay tribute to his team — not to mention Carolina native and celebrity Panthers fan Steph Curry — but they contained a secret identity just waiting to be un- zipped.

alright. In addition to the hid- den tribute to the Man of Steel, the pair of Curry Twos has the Panthers logo and claw mark (not to be confused with Adi- das’s famous three-stripe look), team colors and a hon- eycomb pattern that appears to be a nod to the Charlotte Hornets, the team most asso- ciated with Curry’s father Dell.
Britton Colquitt got a rude surprise leading up to the Super Bowl: He'll have to buy a ticket for his 1-week-old daughter. The Broncos punter found out this week that he was going to have to spend $1,800 to buy a seat for his baby -- a baby that will never use a seat. He ex- plained the situation to the Denver Post.
"There's no age limit to tick- ets. It's $1800 for our week-old daughter we just had. It's kind of crazy,"
Not having an age bracket for Super Bowl seats is an idea so stupid only the NFL could think it up. Airplanes worked this out a long time ago: If a baby can sit in a parent's lap, then they don't pay. This is just common sense. Again, this is the NFL -- where common sense flies out the window.
Josh Norman Fires Back At Rodney Harrison For Saying He'd Hurt Cam Newton
The first bit of trash talk has started at Super Bowl 50 -- but it doesn't involve the Denver Broncos.
Speaking Wednesday, Car- olina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman fired back at NBC Sports Analyst Rodney Harrison for saying if he was in the game, the former safety would try to hurt the Panthers starting quarterback, Cam Newton.
His shot back at Harrison will likely please Giants fans. "Tell him to ask (David) Tyree about it," Norman told reporters.
Tyree, of course, famously caught a 3rd-and-5 pass over Harrison from Giants quar- terback Eli Manning in Super Bowl 42, pinning the ball against his helmet to make the catch.

break the pass up proved costly, as the Giants would go down the field and score the game-winning touchdown on the same drive.
