SAN JOSE, California (AP) — Cam Newton went with zebra stripes instead of a Panther theme on his trip to the Super Bowl. Carolina’s star quarterback likes to do his own thing.

Luke and Von. Sounds like a beach band from the Sixties, or maybe offshoots of the “Dukes of Hazzard.” In reality, Luke Kuechly and Von Miller are exactly what successful teams need in the NFL. The All-Pro linebackers are versatile, fierce competitors, leaders and playmakers. They will bear watching in the Super Bowl as much as Peyton Manning and Cam…
