| Seahawks' Bennett hopes to cause Super Bowl havoc for Manning Monday, Jan 27, 2014 04:55 PM PST  By Larry Fine JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (Reuters) - Claiming a first Super Bowl crown for the Seattle Seahawks could come down to whether the NFL's leading defense can put pass-rush pressure on Denver Broncos record-setting quarterback Peyton Manning. Defensive end Michael Bennett, Seattle's leading sack man and wry humorist, and head coach Pete Carroll understand the difficulty in slowing down the quick strikes thrown by Manning. "We would love to affect him," Carroll told reporters after Monday's practice about upsetting the timing of Manning, who set single season records for touchdown passes and passing yardage. All of that to keep him from being so efficient." Bennett, who joined the Seahawks as a free agent after four seasons in Tampa Bay, may be Seattle's best bet after using his skills to register 8.5 sacks in the regular season. Full Story | Top |

| Soccer-Argentine ref retires yellow, sees red, only red Monday, Jan 27, 2014 04:24 PM PST Referee Carlos Maglio realised that even after dishing out eight bookings in a friendly between bitter Argentine rivals Estudiantes and Gimnasia the players were not getting the message, so he relinquished his yellow card to send a clear warning: the next one's red. Maglio handed over his yellow card to one of his assistants during the second half of Sunday's 1-1 draw in the seaside resort of Mar del Plata in a friendly played during the season's summer break. Sooner afterwards, Maglio sent off Estudiantes midfielder Israel Damonte for violent play. "Even if I'd had the yellow card he would still have gone off," said the ref of Damonte. Full Story | Top |

| Broncos' Moreno hopes to hold back tears at Super Bowl Monday, Jan 27, 2014 03:45 PM PST  One of the best examples of this is before the Super Bowl, when tens of thousands of people rise to their feet and join in the singing of the U.S. national anthem. For some players, it can be an overwhelming moment as they try to stop tears from welling up in their eyes and their lips from quivering in front of a worldwide television audience. But on Sunday, when the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks clash in the National Football League's championship game, the cameras are sure to focus in on one player when American soprano Renee Fleming starts hitting the high notes. Denver running back Knowshon Moreno may be one of the most rugged players in the NFL but he's also a self-confessed cry baby and if he starts sobbing on Sunday his tears could get more attention than any snowflakes.

| NFL figures say league should keep open mind on medical marijuana Monday, Jan 27, 2014 02:51 PM PST  By Scott Malone NEW YORK (Reuters) - The coach of the Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks on Monday echoed the NFL commissioner's assertion that the league should not rule out allowing players to use medical marijuana to manage pain, if medical science supports the idea. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told reporters the National Football League should be open to use of the drug, currently banned by its rules, if doctors broadly come around to the idea. "We have to explore and find ways to make our game a better game and take care of our players in whatever way possible," Carroll told reporters as his team prepared for Sunday's championship game against the Denver Broncos. "Regardless of what other stigmas might be involved, we have to do this because the world of medicine is doing this." Carroll's words followed comments by Commissioner Roger Goodell last week that the league would follow the lead of doctors in determining whether to drop its opposition to players' use of the drug.
