But before you start to pat yourself on the back, make sure to thank the Panthers. After all, it was their terrible, um, “coverage” that allowed you to get free in the first place.

The Panthers had made it clear last month that they would exercise the option for 2015, and they did it Friday, eight days before the May 3 deadline. Newton will earn $14.67 million in 2015; his rookie contract expires after this season. The 2011 collective bargaining agreement allows for four-year maximum deals for first-round picks, with a fifth-year option in which players picked in the top 10 earn the average of the top 10 players at their position....
Earlier on Friday, Cowherd made an inflammatory hot take about Cam Newton’s quarterback style: namely, that he has chosen the “easier, lazier way” to play the position by using his running ability instead of being solely a pocket quarterback. His comments came after Newton defended his style earlier this week. MORE: Breaking down the new-look Panthers Carolina had the perfect response: That’s certainly not an incorrect statement. Cowherd knows he’s doing his job if he can rile people up....
But the Panthers, the most unconventional of Super Bowl participants, didn’t live by that creed all season. They celebrated every singular success, acting as if they’d never been there before on their way to a franchise record 14-0 start and an NFC championship. They sulked in defeat as if they might never go back, following a 24-10 defeat Sunday at the hands of the Broncos in Super Bowl 50.

Having helped to book his country’s first appearance at football’s showpiece event since 1982, a talismanic presence was stung by a FIFA ban in November 2017.

Guerrero was eventually cleared to play but is lacking the match sharpness of his team-mates after fighting what he considers to have been an injustice....
“I think for me it’s about passion,” Coury, 34, explained. “I’m passionate about snowboarding and about being a nurse.” The road to success was not paved for her: It came through steep adversity and years of physical anguish. After an ankle injury at the age of 17 failed to be resolved, Coury said she “started looking into amputation.” The only alternative, ankle fusion, was not a viable option. It would have left her unable to return to the slopes....
Trey, who lives with his owners in College Corner, Ohio, lost the use of his hind legs back in October.

We got home and noticed he wasn’t acting like his usual self....
In a post shared on Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum, user samsmummyhere said the upcoming birthday event costs nearly £30 ($36) per child for the activity and food afterwards. The son was told he can invite 10 friends, as “I seriously couldn’t afford any more,” the user said. However, according to the user, many moms from the son’s circle of friends have brought along “ALL their kids, even when not invited,” to parties in the past, as if “free childcare” was being offered....

But going into the first round of municipal elections over the weekend, Delanoe looked poised to do just that. If he wins the likely runoff on Sunday, his victory will come, in part, because he represents the ebullient and creative side of the City of Light. A socialist, he would head its first left-wing government since the legendary and short-lived Commune, 130 years ago. With French presidential elections scheduled for next year, Delanoe’s victory would be a potent omen....

Parler CEO John Matze said in a post on Wednesday that Soros has “no association” with his operation, which surged to the top of the Apple and Android app stores this week following Joe Biden’s election victory over President Donald Trump. “Can you believe how desperate the trolls are getting falsely claiming Parler is [owned] by Soros?” Matze wrote on his profile. “Minus 10 points for lack of creativity.”...
One among them, No. 5 in the lineup, beamed and waved at the media like a celebrity, as if the moment were his. And in some ways, it was. Zeng Qinghong has long served as Jiang’s protege and hatchet man, and he had helped his boss engineer a quiet coup. Two thirds of the new Standing Committee’s members are allies of the outgoing party boss. And Jiang himself managed to stay on as head of the Central Military Commission, further ensuring his continued clout....
