    2. I honestly thought that the panthers would have beaten the broncos due to there stats of wins:14 Losses:2 to the broncos stats of wins:12 Losses:4. also afetr the super bowl I think it must have been embarassing to have had a meltdown in front of thousands of people who were watching the super bowl.

    3. Why did he be so immature about it. He got into the super bowl, isn't that enough.

    4. He did not have any thing else to say he just said that and left.

    5. I think that if you want to be successful the NFL you need to have good conduct and a no quit attitude, saying "i'm done man" is not going to get you anywhere

    7. I agree with "HunterD" and I think that he should be grateful to even get to the Super Bowl when tons of other teams don't make it. It's supposed to be an honor to play in the best game of the season and I think that this player shouldn't have been, so immature over the situation.

  2. Article Title : Jigging up March Pike
    Wisconisin Sportsman - March 1 , 2015
    Summary - when jigging for big northern pike you want to fish slowly and with caution. This allows you to use a five second rule that allows the pike to swim five seconds before turning around and swallowing the bait. In conclusion when you use mixtures of different baits and different lures and jigs you will be giving the pike what they want allowing you to catch them easier.
