(Repeats to additional subscribers, no change to text) Feb 18 (Reuters) - Nike Inc, the world's largest sportswear maker, said it had ended its contract with Manny Pacquiao after the Filipino boxer described gays as "worse than animals". "We find Manny Pacquiao's comments abhorrent," a Nike spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement, adding that the company no longer has a relationship with the boxer. Nike's decision comes a day after an online petition was launched urging the company to stop Pacquiao endorsing its products.

Privacy vs security at heart of Apple phone decrypt order (Reuters)
A court order demanding that Apple Inc help the U.S. government unlock the encrypted iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters is shaping up as a crucial test case of how far the government can go in forcing technology companies to help security and intelligence investigations. Law enforcement agencies have for years faced off against tech firms and privacy advocates over their ability to monitor digital communications, and the government to date has largely lost the battle. A federal judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday ordered Apple to provide "reasonable technical assistance" to investigators seeking to read the data on an iPhone 5C that had been used by Rizwan Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the shootings.

Larson moves to backup after crash in Daytona 500 practice (The Associated Press)
Kyle Larson switched to a backup car after being involved in a crash during Daytona 500 practice Wednesday. Larson was involved in a multi-car accident in the second practice session, a pileup that occurred after Ty Dillion cracked an oil cooler between Turns 1 and 2 at Daytona International Speedway. Dillon spewed oil on the track and on other drivers' windshields, and as cars behind him tried to slow, two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip ran into the back of Ryan Newman.

The Great Canadian Ratings Report: NBA all-star weekend produces big ratings in Canada (Eh Game)
Maybe that all-star game thing can help the Toronto Raptors. With Toronto hosting the first NBA all-star game outside the United States last weekend, television ratings went way beyond expectations. The Saturday night competitions almost broke the million mark on TSN and Sportsnet One, bringing in an audience 377 per cent higher than the one that witnessed last year's broadcast. The game itself was the second most-watched in Canadian history on Sunday, falling just short of what Michael Jordan drew in his return to the game in 1996. Friday's Rising Stars Challenge was 182 per cent above the 2015 version. Overall, 3.1 million viewers watched some or all of the game and 2.6 million the Saturday night competition. Canada even outperformed the U.S., where TNT saw its audience grow 6 per cent to 7.6 million. In fact, the NBA dominated the weekend ratings in the Great White North. And when was the last time that happened? Hint: never. It's amazing how much more popular an event becomes when your country or your city is hosting it. But a weekend full of big ratings isn't the only thing the NBA and its broadcasters got out of this. No doubt the two networks who own a chunk of the team are hoping the a ll-star euphoria rubs off on the Raptors, who needed a little euphoria spread their way.

EXCLUSIVE - Amazon expanding deliveries by its 'on-demand' drivers (Reuters)
By Mari Saito SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc is quietly inviting drivers for its new "on-demand" delivery service to handle its standard packages, as the online retailer known for low prices and razor-thin profit margins looks to speed up delivery times and tamp down its growing multi-billion dollar logistics bill. Amazon outlined details of its latest plan over the last few weeks in an email to contract drivers who deliver parcels for Amazon Flex, a program launched last year to handle speedy deliveries of common household goods to customers using Prime Now, a mobile app that comes with Amazon's popular $99-a-year Prime membership. If the gambit works, industry analysts said it could help Amazon contain its shipping costs, which grew more than 18 percent to $11.5 billion last year.

Video: How does Daytona affect Tony Stewart's legacy? (From The Marbles)
Tony Stewart will likely finish his career 0-17 in the Daytona 500. But the three-time Sprint Cup Series champion has won every other NASCAR race at Daytona and has 48 career Sprint Cup Series wins. Is he a NASCAR Hall of Famer? Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee and Jay Hart debate the topic. Stewart is missing the 2016 Daytona 500 and out indefinitely because of a fractured vertebra suffered while driving a sand buggy in late January. He's being replaced in the No. 14 car for the race by Brian Vickers, who could also replace Stewart in some races later in the spring before Stewart returns. 2016 is Stewart's last Sprint Cup season as Clint Bowyer is set to take over his No. 14 car in 2017. Stewart's Daytona 500 career has included some near wins. Here's a breakdown of all 17 of his Daytona 500s. You'll have to watch the video to see what Jay and Jay think, but in my book, Stewart is surefire first-ballot Hall of Fame driver. - - - - - - - Nick Bromberg is the editor of From The Marbles on Yahoo Sports.

Donald Cerrone on his title loss, Reebok fine and refusing to fall in line (Cagewriter)
The last week of training is always the worst for Donald Cerrone. It’s the dragging-on of it all, the waiting. For a guy who once fought six times in less than a year, the idea of sitting around and waiting for a fight is unnerving. So he occupies himself like any martial artist should, catching matinee showings of "Enter the Dragon," starring Bruce Lee, in between training sessions. The fan favorite will face Alex Oliveira in the main event of a UFC Fight Night card in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Just weeks ago, Cerrone found himself in his very first UFC title fight against lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. Cerrone lost the fight at 1:06 of the first round – just his fourth UFC loss in 19 fights. It was his first with UFC gold on the line, and it admittedly stung. “Yeah, that night sucked,” Cerrone admitted to Yahoo Sports. “Sure, you can dwell on it, and be pissed off. But you just choke it up, get back on, and do it again.” Cerrone, 32, is infamous for his no-frills approach to fighting, and lack of excuse making. And the loss to dos Anjos highlights these traits perfectly. He prefers fighting as often as possible, but Cerrone had to wait almost seven months before his fight with dos Anjos. Yet, despite this fact, and the fact Cerrone chose to not use an IV to rehydrate even with an official exemption – “I just didn’t want anyone to say I’m cheating., so, [expletive] it” – he's not offering many excuses for his disappointing performance.

Something about blowing a 21-point lead at Tennessee appears to have struck a nerve with Kentucky, which is once again dominating opponents. Saturday's 89-62 victory over the Gamecocks was especially impressive considering coach John Calipari watched the final 37 minutes of it from the locker room after being ejected. Kentucky turned a competitive game into a blowout after his exit.

Wisconsin-Michigan St. Preview (The Associated Press)
A last-minute rally against Michigan State has morphed into a monthlong winning streak that's saved Wisconsin's season. The eighth-ranked Spartans have come out of a midseason slump as well, further raising the stakes of Thursday's anticipated rematch between the two 2015 Final Four participants. An afterthought in the Big Ten race following a 1-4 start in league play, Wisconsin (16-9, 8-4) has gone from a likely NCAA Tournament outsider to a projected invitee by ripping off seven consecutive conference wins that include three ranked opponents.

Australia coach Lehmann sees 2019 as swansong (AFP)
Australia coach Darren Lehmann said Thursday he cannot see himself continuing in the demanding role beyond 2019 with a recent bout of deep vein thrombosis proving a "reality check". Lehmann was forced to miss Australia's Twenty20 series against India and the one-day international tour of New Zealand before being given the all-clear to join the ongoing Test series against the Black Caps. Lehmann, who took over from Mickey Arthur in 2013, has been reluctant in the past to set an end date to his tenure but now says he cannot see himself doing the job beyond the 2019 Ashes, with the constant travelling taking a toll.

It was right next to team principal Christian Horner in an east London warehouse. The refreshed red and dark blue Red Bull Racing colors were merely painted over last year's car - the one that couldn't win a race and was only good enough to secure fourth place in the constructors' championship.

Soccer-MEPs seek probe into Bale's Real transfer - reports (Reuters)
Three Euro MPs want the European Union to probe Gareth Bale's 100 million euros ($111.25 million) move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013, according to media reports. British MEP Daniel Dalton, Catalan colleague Ramon Tremosa and Belgian MEP Sander Loones have asked the EU to find out if the transfer was supported by Spanish banks that had been bailed out by European Union tax-payers. "If taxpayers' money was used to underwrite the Gareth Bale transfer deal then this is something the EU should investigate," Dalton was quoted as saying by British and Spanish newspapers.

Astronomers have spotted a black hole that’s 21 billion times more massive than the Sun (Digital Trends)
A new photograph of galaxy NGC 4889 may look peaceful from such a great distance, but it’s actually home to one of the biggest black holes that astronomers have ever identified. The Hubble Space Telescope allowed scientists to capture photos of the galaxy, located in the Coma Cluster about 300 million light-years away. The supermassive black hole hidden away in NGC 4889 breaks all kinds of records, even though it is currently classified as dormant. So how big is it, exactly? Well, according to our best estimates, the supermassive black hole is roughly 21 billion times the size of the Sun, and its event horizon (an area so dense and powerful that light can’t escape its gravity) measures 130 billion kilometers in diameter. That’s about 15 times the diameter of Neptune’s orbit around the Sun, according to scientists at the Hubble Space Telescope. At one point, the black hole was fueling itself on a process called hot accretion. Space stuff like gases, dust, and galactic debris fell towards the black hole and created an accretion disk. Then that spinning disk of space junk, accelerated by the strong gravitational pull of the largest known black hole, emitted huge jets of energy out into the galaxy. Related: Scientists just saw light coming from around a black hole for the first time During that active period, NGC 4889 would have classified as a quasar (quasi-stellar radio source) thanks to the black hole’s emissions of up to a thousand times more energy than our Milky Way galaxy. But the black hole is now in dormant mode because there isn’t any more sustenance stored in the orbiting accretion disk. “The accretion disk sustained the supermassive black hole’s appetite until the nearby supply of galactic material was exhausted. Now, napping quietly as it waits for its next celestial snack, the supermassive black hole is dormant”, says the Hubble Space Telescope website. Of course, the announcement posted with new photos of the NGC 4889 galaxy is quick to point out that the pictures don’t exactly capture the likeness of the supermassive black hole. It is impossible to observe a black hole directly, but scientists have been able to identify the implied presence of a black hole by analyzing the way celestial objects interact with some invisible force. For this particular black hole in the NGC 4889 galaxy, scientists used instruments on the Keck II Observatory and the Gemini North Telescope to measure the velocity of stars moving around the center point of the galaxy. The stars’ specific velocities re what allowed scientists to calculate the incredible size of NGC 4889’s black hole.

Pre-combine Mock draft: Here are our predictions are we head to Indy (Shutdown Corner)
We're one week away from the scouting combine in Indianapolis and we still have more questions than answers about both the prospects as well as the teams and their specific goals in the 2016 NFL draft. But with the draft order set and the Senior Bowl in the past, we have a better idea of how the draft is shaping up and what its strengths and weaknesses are. The skinny: The defensive line group, especially at tackle, is exceptionally deep. So deep, in fact, that gifted but troubled Ole Miss DL Robert Nkemdiche didn’t land in our top 31 projected picks. [ Follow Yahoo Sports draft expert Eric Edholm on Facebook and Twitter ] The combine will be the first step to rehab the image of Nkemdiche, who faces character concerns from NFL teams after he reportedly fell from a hotel window under suspicious circumstances. If he answers NFL evaluators’ questions to their satisfaction, he easily could land in the top 20 picks again. For now here’s a first guess — pre-free agency — at how things could look in Round 1: 1. Tennessee Titans — Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil There might not be a perfect marriage of player, value and need for the Titans here, but this pick makes a lot of sense, even with Tennessee insisting there’s a market for the top pick. Mike Mularkey-coached teams have used high draft picks on offensive linemen in the past (Kendall Simmons, 2002; Sam Baker, 2008) and could do so here to help better insulate Marcus Mariota. That has to be the priority of the organization after watching Mariota come in and out of games as a rookie after suffering too many hits.

Rodgers, 32, has spent the past week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, playing with Wisconsin PGA pro Jerry Kelly. "It was just good to be out there walking normally," Rodgers said, via USA TODAY Sports. It's nice to not have any clunking around or anything, so it was good." Rodgers said he had a scope performed on his knee soon after Green Bay's 26-20 overtime loss on Jan. 16 to the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC divisional playoffs.

Raiders secure return to Oakland for 2016 season (AFP)
After weeks of uncertainty, the Oakland Raiders have secured a return to their home stadium for the 2016 NFL season, but a long-term solution in a new venue remains elusive. Raiders owner Mark Davis signed a one-year lease extension to play at O.co Coliseum, the team's home since moving back to the San Francisco bay area from Los Angeles in 1995. The deal includes two option years for the Raiders that could tie the club to the 56,000-seat venue, which was built in 1966 and is the only stadium that is shared by NFL and Major League Baseball clubs.

Raiders agree to extension to remain at Oakland Coliseum (The Associated Press)
Four weeks after being stymied in their effort to move to Los Angeles, the Raiders agreed to a one-year extension lease extension to remain at the Oakland Coliseum on Thursday. Raiders owner Mark Davis had been mulling multiple options to move his team since being passed over by the NFL's other owners to relocate the Raiders to Southern California. The St. Louis Rams were approved to move to Los Angeles in January, while the San Diego Chargers have an option to join the Rams.

Oakland Raiders to stay put for 2016 season (Reuters)
Officials for the Oakland Raiders said on Thursday that they have reached a one-year lease extension agreement, keeping the team in the San Francisco Bay Area city for the upcoming National Football League season. Raiders Owner Mark Davis told a news conference that its agreement with the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority also includes one-year extension options for the following two years to stay at O.co Coliseum. "My heart is here in Oakland, and if we can get something done, that's what I'm trying to do," Davis said, when asked about the team's long-term plans.

Oakland Raiders return to O.co Coliseum for at least 2016 (Shutdown Corner)
Remember all the emotion at the final home games for the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers last season? Get ready to do it all again in 2016. The Chargers announced they're staying in San Diego for the 2016 season, and the Raiders came to an agreement on Thursday to play at least one more year at O.co Coliseum, the team announced . The Raiders said there are also two years of team options at O.co Coliseum. That the Raiders are staying in Oakland at least one more season is not a huge surprise. After the Raiders were the odd team out in the Los Angeles sweepstakes, they needed some place to play. Oakland's stadium is probably the worst in the NFL, but it'll do for another year while the Raiders figure things out. The Raiders were squeezed out of the L.A. plans, at least for now. The Rams relocated to Los Angeles, and the Chargers have the option of joining them. The Chargers have a year to figure it out. If they pass, the Raiders have the option to join the Rams in Inglewood. It's not ideal for the Raiders, but they don't have a great option at the moment. Oakland hasn't delivered a great stadium plan. San Antonio and Las Vegas seem more like leverage than realistic options. San Diego has been suggested if the Chargers leave, but if San Diego won't build a stadium to keep the Chargers, why would they build one to lure the Raiders? So the Raiders are left without an idea where they'll be playing a few years from now. But at least we know where they're playing next season. For all the talk of how the Raiders and Chargers were saying goodbye to their cities, they'll return for at least another year. And it'll feel the exact same way, with fans in each city hoping the team stays but having no idea if it will actually do so. We thought for a while there would be a massive shift, with three of the 32 NFL franchises moving. Only one did, for now anyway. - - - - - - - Frank Schwab is the editor of Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip? Email him at shutdown.corner@yahoo.com or follow him on Twitter!

L.A. relocation story reminder of Jerry Jones' power among owners (Shutdown Corner)
If you ever wondered who the NFL's most powerful owner is, ESPN.com's behind-the-scenes story about the league's relocation to Los Angeles is a good place to start. The answer, if you didn't know it already, is that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones likely finishes first in the owner power rankings. The ESPN report makes it clear that he was the most influential of the league's owners in making sure Rams owner Stan Kroenke's plan to move to Inglewood was the winner, even though that was up in the air until the last minute. The entire story, written by Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta, is worth your time if you care about what happens among the power brokers in the NFL. It's a complex story of alliances, double-crosses, hurt feelings and suspicions of league favoritism. It paints Kroenke as the aggressor in the L.A. story, and San Diego Chargers CEO Dean Spanos as the league loyalist who got the short end of the stick. And Jones, it appears, had a huge say in steering the league toward the Inglewood plan that Kroenke had. The story places the "new money" owners, led by Jones, on the side of the Inglewood plan and Kroenke. The "old money" owners wanted Carson, and Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson lobbied for that, going as far as flying to meet with some owners privately to garner support. Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger was brought in to run the Carson project, after Richardson met and talked with him a few times. The owners thought Iger's involvement might offset Kroenke's money, the ESPN story said. Meanwhile, Jones was on the side of the Inglewood project and worked the phones with owners to pitch the idea of the Rams and Chargers sharing a stadium there. That would place the Chargers as the Rams' tenants, basically. Jones encouraged Kroenke to pledge to allow a partner in the new stadium, which he did, ESPN said.

NFL Power Rankings: The way-too-early 2016 edition (Shutdown Corner)
It's probably not fair to say the Denver Broncos' championship window was going to close, win or lose, after Super Bowl 50. But let's say that it was probably a good idea to beat the Carolina Panthers, just in case. This will be a tricky offseason for Broncos general manager John Elway. He was very aggressive in trying to win a title before Peyton Manning retired. Mission accomplished. But making another run next season will be a challenge. The Broncos have a ton of questions to answer this offseason. Las Vegas oddsmakers don't have a ton of faith in the Broncos repeating. There were 11 teams with better odds to win Super Bowl LI than Denver (20-to-1) at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, as of Monday. All-world pass rusher and free agent-to-be Von Miller will get the franchise tag, but that will eat up a lot of cap room. We don't know who the quarterback will be — it's probably going to be Brock Osweiler, but he was inconsistent and will get a huge pay bump. And if he hits free agency there's no guarantee he'll be back. There are a few teams who are desperate at quarterback. If Osweiler escapes and Manning retires as expected, things might get really scary in Denver.

Reports: Bills' LeSean McCoy assaulted off-duty police officers (Shutdown Corner)
According to two reports out of Philadelphia, Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy and former NFL back Curtis Brinkley are being investigated after an incident with off-duty police officers. CSNPhiily.com, which got a look at the police report , says McCoy and Brinkley were at Recess Lounge at around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday when they got into an altercation with three off-duty officers that began "over the purchase of champagne." Brinkley grabbed the bottle, setting things off between the men. A law enforcement official told CSNPhilly.com that two of the officers suffered broken ribs; television station WPVI reported those men had to be hospitalized for their injuries. Neither McCoy nor Brinkley were arrested, but both men are being investigated. McCoy, a first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009, was traded to the Bills last year. Brinkley played for the San Diego Chargers from 2009-2012, appearing in 23 games.

Three most likely picks for Broncos' 2016 season-opening opponent (Shutdown Corner)
Has it sunk in yet for you that Sunday night featured the last real NFL game until September? You can have your preseason, the methadone of football. We like the real deal. Which is why we already are thinking about next season’s opener. It has become traditional for the defending champions to host the Thursday night Week 1 opener in their building, and we have no reason to think that the Denver Broncos — fresh off their Super Bowl 50 title — won’t be afforded that privilege. Because we already know their home opponents, it’s easy to start thinking who they might face in that game. We have some pretty obvious possibilities. First, the process of elimination. The Broncos face four teams — the San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons — with absolutely zero shot of earning that opening slot. The Kansas City Chiefs are a good team that gave the Broncos fits at times this season, and they in theory have a whisper of a chance, but we think there are three more clear-cut choices. They are: Carolina Panthers — Remember them? We could have a Super Bowl 50 reprise in the opener, and it would allow Cam Newton another chance to face a Broncos defense that largely should remain intact and that befuddled him and his Panthers teammates on Sunday. There’s no mystery with this one, straight heat down the middle, and it would be a perfectly good choice. We have gone a few years between non-conference opponents facing each other in the opener, though, which makes us think this might not be the favorite. New England Patriots — And you remember them. Yes, no matter whether Peyton Manning returns to play football in 2016, it almost certainly won’t be Manning vs. Tom Brady for (roughly) the 78th time. But there still is a healthy rivalry between these teams, and this would net some boffo ratings between what could be the two early favorites in the AFC, depending on who the Broncos’ QB is. Brady was mauled in the AFC championship, and Denver has not been the kindest place for him to play. Indianapolis Colts — We can envision a Manning tribute here. It’s pretty easy, with his former team and some of his former teammates in the house. Archie and Olivia will be in a luxury box, and maybe Cooper shows up too. Plus, it’s a pretty good game on paper, and we all know the Colts are excellent on paper. The Colts beat the Broncos the past two times, last season in Indianapolis and two years ago in the playoffs in Denver. This would be a great stage for Andrew Luck to reintroduce himself to America. If Manning is done for good, this one is almost too obvious. - - - - - - - Eric Edholm is a writer for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?

If this was it for Peyton Manning, he will be going out in style (Shutdown Corner)
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Peyton Manning got up in front of the Denver Broncos on Saturday night, on the eve of Super Bowl 50. He said his goodbyes. He didn’t explicitly say he was retiring. But he probably didn’t need to. He made some jokes as he spoke, because that’s who Manning is, and Manning said he needed to crack jokes so he could hold it together. He joked that he thought Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, Chris Harris and Aqib Talib would all win a share of the Super Bowl 50 MVP, because he wanted to see them all share the car given to the winner.

''All of a sudden, the crowd goes crazy, and it's because Ken Stabler poked his head out of the locker room.

Roger Goodell doesn't give great explanation for lack of PSI data (Shutdown Corner)
SAN FRANCISCO — It still doesn't make much sense why tne NFL, which spent all last offseason acting like PSI levels in football was a pillar to the integrity of the game, didn't seem to care much about it during this season. Goodell was asked about the league's startling admission that it didn't keep any data on football inflation at his annual press conference on the Friday before the Super Bowl. The league announced new policies and procedures to make sure footballs were legally inflated, after the long and overblown deflate-gate controversy with the New England Patriots. Goodell danced around giving a reason for the incredible discrepancy between the NFL's actions last offseason over PSI and its general malaise over the issue during this season. Goodell reiterated that the NFL made limited spot checks and found no violations. "The intent of what we were doing was not a research project," Goodell said. "It was to make sure our policies were followed." Goodell often talks about transparency, but there was almost none throughout this whole issue. [ Score great deals for Super Bowl 50 tickets at SeatGeek ] "We don't disclose all the specifics on that because it's meant as a deterrent," Goodell said. "If you tell everybody how many times you're checking and which games you're checking, it's not much of a deterrent. It's a deterrent when they think they may be checked." Considering the disagreements about the science of how balls can naturally deflate in certain weather conditions, it's surprising the NFL wouldn't want to research something that it took so seriously last offseason. The NFL's heavy-handed reaction to deflate-gate was brought up again with comparisons to how the league handled Al Jazeera's report that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's wife had human growth hormone sent to her, compared to the way it attacked New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Goodell was asked why the league doesn't seem to be pursuing the allegations against Manning with the same public gusto it had for deflate-gate, and Goodell replied, "We are." "We take every allegation of violations of our policies and procedures, particularly when it relates to safety, very seriously," Goodell said. "When these allegations first came up we immediately began our own investigation. We were making sure we were working with the other sports involved, with WADA, the World Anti-Doping Association, to make sure we were getting all the information." The league is investigating the Manning allegations, but Goodell said there is no independent investigation ongoing by the league. He said the league is continuing to work with the other sports leagues involved and WADA on the allegations. "If we feel that [an independent investigation] is necessary at some point, we may do that. At this point we don’t," Goodell said. Goodell wouldn't discuss the NFL's appeal of a federal judge's ruling vacating Brady's four-game suspension, but he said the appeal is still ongoing. "I’m not focused on it right now and I won’t speculate on what we’ll do based on the outcome," Goodell said.

Goodell vows to help Oakland, San Diego teams get new venues (The Associated Press)
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell pledged Friday ''to do everything possible'' to help teams in Oakland and San Diego work to get new stadiums in their current markets. ''The league supports both of these teams, but we are working very hard with not only the teams but the communities to try to find a solution that works for everybody,'' Goodell said at his annual Super Bowl week news conference. The Rams have moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis starting in the 2016 season.

One suite at Levi's Stadium is going to get a little extra use on Super Bowl weekend. Kristen Williams of Eagle River, Alaska, won a special prize from Marriott that will allow her and three friends to spend the night before the Super Bowl in the suite. The suite will then be converted from a bedroom to a game-day suite to accommodate Bill Craigle from Mechanicsville, New York, who won a prize that allows him to bring 49 guests to the game on an all-expense paid trip.

No starting spot anymore, but Brock Osweiler enjoys Super Bowl 50 (Shutdown Corner)
SAN JOSE — A play here, a play there, and Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler might have been sitting up at the No. 6 podium right in the middle of the SAP Center on Super Bowl Opening Night. Instead, Peyton Manning spoke to a group that never seemed to shrink to less than 50 media members at the middle podium. Osweiler stood maybe 100 feet away, talking to the few folks interested in his fairly crazy season. “I wouldn’t say strange, but I’d say this season has taken a lot of turns that maybe a normal season doesn’t,” said Osweiler, who was on the cover of Sports Illustrated about three months ago. Osweiler was one of the NFL’s hottest stars of the season. He took over for Manning after Manning suffered a bad foot injury. Osweiler was up and down in his seven starts but helped the Broncos pull off some enormous wins, including overtime wins against New England and Cincinnati, the second and third seeds in the AFC. The Broncos got the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They won the AFC championship game at home, beating the New England Patriots by two points. Without Osweiler’s contributions, the Broncos might not be in Super Bowl 50. But right before the playoffs started, Osweiler had his job taken away. Broncos coach Gary Kubiak pulled Osweiler in a Week 17 game against the San Diego Chargers as the offense struggled. Manning went in, led a win, was given the job for the playoffs and here they are in the Bay Area. Manning is one of the major stories of the Super Bowl. It’s impossible to believe that this week Osweiler won’t think about what might have been, as he helps simulate Cam Newton on Denver's scout team, even if he said that hasn’t crossed his mind. But give Osweiler a lot of credit for how he has handled this odd situation, because he has been nothing but supportive of his teammates. “I wouldn’t say disappointing is the word. But certainly as a competitor, a quarterback, as a guy who wants to be competing with his teammates he loves, it’s hard to sit back and not play,” Osweiler said about not starting this week. “But as long as this football team wins games, and if we win Sunday, there’s going to be nobody happier than myself. “It’s hard to sit back and not be out there competing with your teammates, but this is the ultimate team game and as long as we win, I’m happy.” In some ways the respect for Osweiler has grown in the Broncos locker room because of how he handled the situation. He never complained, never said anything negative and has been supportive of his team even as he sits and watches. It’s obvious to say the Broncos wouldn’t be at the Super Bowl without Osweiler’s contributions on the field when he was starting quarterback. It’s also fair to say the Broncos might not be in the Super Bowl if Osweiler hadn’t handled a really sensitive and difficult situation when he was benched. He never was a distraction. “He’s so mature,” Broncos tight end Owen Daniels said. “He’s a super positive guy. I think he did a great job playing his role, and I’m sure he wanted to keep playing and be the guy because you expect that out of a great competitor, but he was super mature about everything. Both guys were. It was awesome.” Osweiler said he and Manning never had any “special conversations” after Kubiak made the move, but they both went on like nothing happened, with Osweiler taking back the role of helping the starter whenever he needed it. “I was there to support him, and he was there to support me when I was playing,” Osweiler said. Osweiler said he has a great working relationship with Manning and a great relationship off the field. He said he won’t speculate on Manning’s future, but it matters for him. Osweiler will be a free agent after this season, and he’ll have options. His seven starts produced 1,967 yards and an 86.4 rating. He was a second-round pick a few years ago, he has proven now he’s not overwhelmed by being an NFL starter, and the way he has handled having Manning take back the starting spot won’t work against him as teams consider him in free agency. But Osweiler said he hasn’t thought about his next move. “When that bridge comes, we’ll cross it at that time, but right now I’m 100 percent focused on the Super Bowl,” Osweiler didn’t want to talk about whether he’d prefer to return to the Broncos, where he’d presumably take over as the starter next season. “We’ll cross the bridge when it comes up,” Osweiler said. Osweiler has been to a Super Bowl before, two seasons ago, but that was truly as the backup. He rode the bench all season as Manning won an MVP trophy. When asked how this Super Bowl was different for him, it was clear he was proud of his contributions to get the Broncos to Super Bowl 50, as he should be. “It feels a little different,” Osweiler said. “I feel like I was able to contribute and help my team for a couple months.” As usual on Opening Night — known before this year as Super Bowl Media Day — Osweiler got a few unusual questions. At one point, he was asked who he’d have start at quarterback if he needed to win one game, Manning or John Elway. “Myself,” Osweiler said after very little hesitation, with no further explanation. - - - - - - - Frank Schwab is the editor of Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports.

Raiders look for short-term lease before long-term home (The Associated Press)
With the Oakland Raiders' hopes of moving to Los Angeles on hold right now, Mayor Libby Schaaf said the team's primary focus is on securing a lease to remain at the Coliseum for the 2016 season. The NFL voted last month to allow the Rams to move to Inglewood with an option for the Chargers to join them. The Chargers plan to spend the next year trying to secure a stadium deal to remain in San Diego, leaving the Raiders waiting to find out if Los Angeles is an option for them in their long search for a new stadium.

NFL says no rule against Raiders move to Vegas (AFP)
An NFL memo sent to clubs in the wake of Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis visiting Las Vegas says there is no rule against moving a team to any city. The note, made public over the weekend, leaves open the door to the possibility of relocating the Raiders, or any club, to the US gambling center despite the NFL's hard stance against any betting associations to preserve credibility of results. The Raiders have no lease for next season after being thwarted in a bid to relocate to Los Angeles starting next season.

Friday's Sports in Brief (The Associated Press)
The NFL says reported concussions rose 58 percent in regular-season games to the highest number in any of the past four years. The league's concussion data for 2015 also showed that helmet-to-helmet hits were way up. Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president of health and safety policy, said during a conference call the league will study what might have caused the incidence of head injuries to rise so much this season.

Chargers agree in principle to join Rams in L.A., but will they? (Shutdown Corner)
The Chargers are one step closer to moving back to Los Angeles. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune , the franchise has agreed in principle to join the Rams in L.A. and share a stadium in Inglewood. Chargers owner Dean Spanos now must decide if he can make the team work two hours north of their home since 1961, or whether it’s best to work things out with the city of San Diego and use this latest agreement as leverage toward leaving. The Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles, which they previously had left after the 1994 season. Rams owner Stan Kroenke was given first rights to his franchise relocating, and the Chargers — ahead of the Oakland Raiders — were given first rights to join the Rams there. The Chargers have until January 15, 2017, to invoke their privilege to move to Los Angeles, although agreeing to a stadium deal locally could allow that timetable to stretch into 2018, allowing for bureaucratic hang-ups and such. But this latest announcement feels like the latest domino to fall toward a second team joining the Rams in Inglewood. It’s your move, San Diego, if you want to keep this team. - - - - - - - Eric Edholm is a writer for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?

Senior Bowl: What a scout’s interview with a prospect sounds like (Shutdown Corner)
MOBILE, Ala. — This is the epicenter of the NFL for a few days, and the Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel is ground zero for scouts to do much of their work. Oh yes, the practice fields are important. But the interviews, which will go on before and after the daily practice sessions, are equally as huge. Scouts pull players into corners, down hallways and behind doors to steal a few minutes of fact time. It’s where many of the teams stay, it’s where all of the players are staying, so much of the action not on the field happens here. Scouts have questions. They hope the players have answers. The right answers, that is. In one corner of the hotel, a San Diego Chargers scout is grilling Maryland DT Quinton Jefferson about anything and everything. Firing off questions like a veteran courtroom prosecutor. “How many brothers and sisters do you have?” “What do you eat for breakfast?” “And what happened with that little fight you had?” They’re essentially private investigators, these scouts, spending hundreds of days on the road each year with their ears firmly planted on the ground. They know all.

John Elway and Gary Kubiak gambled big. Those gambles paid off (Shutdown Corner)
John Elway, as a general manager, isn't happy with the virtual check down. Elway's agressive, Super Bowl or bust mentality was never more evident than when he fired John Fox a year ago following a fourth division title in Fox's four seasons. Elway wasn't happy with some of the things he had seen from the Denver Broncos in their playoff losses. So Fox was gone. Gary Kubiak, the Broncos' new coach, had his own controversial decision to make during this season. He decided to bench a quarterback who led wins over Cincinnati and New England for a 39-year-old who had nine touchdowns and 17 interceptions in the regular season. And now Elway and Kubiak are going to the Super Bowl. Fortune favors the bold, indeed. "That’s what it is all about," Elway said after the AFC championship trophy presentation. "Especially to do it at home and be able to do it in front of our fans. To be able to stand up there, to me that makes all the work worthwhile, looking at the fans and knowing we have a chance to be world champs again." Elway was never bothered by throwing into tight coverage as a Hall of Fame quarterback. He has made bold moves as an executive. He moved on from Tim Tebow right after the Broncos won a division title and a playoff game with him (yes, at one point this was considered controversial by some). He has been aggressive in free agency. And then came his most unconventional move, firing Fox after he went 46-18 with the Broncos. It's not unprecedented for a coach to be fired after a double-digit win season, but it is really rare. Elway said he wasn't happy his team didn't go out "kicking and screaming" in the playoffs the last couple years. He made it clear through the Fox firing that anything less than a Super Bowl wasn't good enough. " When he came in here he had won a lot of football games and to be able to come in and get us back to the Super Bowl has been tremendous," Elway said. "T here is not a better guy for the job ,"

Denver's defense carries Manning back to the Super Bowl (The Associated Press)
Peyton Manning is glad he doesn't have to face Denver's dizzying defense. The Broncos bashed Brady throughout a 20-18 dethroning of the New England Patriots in the AFC championship Sunday that sent Denver to a record-tying eighth Super Bowl. Von Miller's monster performance led the way for a dominant defense that hit Brady 23 times and forced him into 29 incompletions, two fourth-down flops, and a costly interception on a failed 2-point try that would have tied it with 12 seconds left.

Baggett kicks 6 FGs in NFLPA Collegiate Bowl (The Associated Press)
Andrew Baggett of Missouri kicked six field goals, including a 22-yarder early in the fourth quarter to lift the National team to an 18-17 victory over the American in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Saturday. Baggett's game-winner with 13:48 remaining came three players after Kyle Kragen of California recovered Travis Wilson's fumble on the American 10-yard line. Baggett, who kicked four years at Missouri and finished just eight points shy of the school scoring record, also connected from 36, 50, 42, 39 and 24 yards before kicking the winner.

Going north? Chargers have applied to trademark 'L.A. Chargers' (Shutdown Corner)
It could be a just-in-case move, but San Diego Chargers ownership applied to trademark the names "Los Angeles Rams" and "L.A. Rams" last week. The applications are signed by A.G. Spanos, the team's president of business operations and the oldest son of owner Dean Spanos. The trademarks would cover all manner of merchandise, since presumably Los Angeles Chargers ear muffs will fly off the shelves in Southern California. When the NFL announced that Rams' owner Stan Kroenke's stadium and relocation plan had been approved, returning that team to Los Angeles, the league also announced that the Chargers and Dean Spanos had been given the first opportunity to join with the Rams and partner with them on the stadium. If the Chargers decided against that move, the Oakland Raiders would then get the chance. But signs are pointing to the Chargers moving two hours north. There's a trademark applications, of course, but the team also began formal negotiations with the Rams on Monday. PODCAST: Are the Packers wasting Aaron Rodgers' best years?

Peyton's Broncos dump Steelers, reach AFC title game (Reuters)
(Reuters) - The Denver Broncos overcame an unspectacular outing by Peyton Manning on Sunday to earn a gritty 23-16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and set up a marquee quarterback matchup in next week's AFC title game. The 39-year-old Manning, back in the starting lineup for the first time since a disastrous outing in mid-November, was shaky at times but leaned on his team's defense and running game to put Denver one win away from a Super Bowl berth. "Our defense is guiding us, let's make that clear," Manning told reporters after completing 21-of-37 passes for 222 yards with no scores or interceptions.

It's hard to feel sorry for Dean Spanos, even if he looked like someone had just kicked his dog the other day in Houston. Several generations of them grew up rooting for the hometown team, only to have Spanos scheme to move it north after 55 years in San Diego without as much as a proper goodbye. Now he's left with a pair of options he couldn't have envisioned when crafting the master plan to flee San Diego for a spot between freeways in Los Angeles.

Can Denver QB Mningan outscore injury-hit Steelers? (Reuters)
The stars appear to be aligning for the Denver Broncos in their quest for a second Super Bowl appearance in three years, but big questions remain as the AFC's top seed heads into Sunday’s Divisional playoff game against Pittsburgh. The Steelers (10-6) suffered a double dose of bad injury news on Friday with their leading receiver, Antonio Brown (concussion), and leading rusher DeAngelo Williams (foot) ruled out for the game. Listed as questionable was two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who might be restricted by a sprained joint and torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder even if he is able to suit up.

NFL Playoff Preview: Broncos, Steelers have different QB questions (Shutdown Corner)
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6) at Denver Broncos (12-4) Sunday, 4:40 p.m. ET on CBS STEELERS AT A GLANCE How they got here: The Steelers are survivors. They seemed dead going into Week 17, but a New York Jets loss allowed them to make the playoffs. They looked finished when the Cincinnati Bengals intercepted Landry Jones with 1:36 left in a wild-card game, but a crazy turn of events that included Jeremy Hill's fumble, Ben Roethlisberger's dramatic return from injury and a couple incredibly bad penalties by the Bengals allowed the Steelers to steal a win. The problem for the Steelers now is just getting healthy, with Roethlisberger, receiver Antonio Brown and running back DeAngelo Williams all banged up. Brown is out, Williams is trending that way and we have no idea how well Roethlisberger can throw with a shoulder injury, if he plays. Key player: I don't have any idea how a quarterback can play an NFL game with a sprained AC joint and torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder, but Roethlisberger got off the bench to lead a game-winning drive with those issues, and he hasn't been ruled out for this week's game. I think anyone would bet on Roethlisberger, one of the NFL's toughest players, trying to play. But can he throw downfield, or have decent velocity on any of his passes? If he can't play, Landry Jones steps in. Jones has had some decent moments this season but it's asking a lot for him to play well on the road in the playoffs against a defense that ranked first in the NFL in yards allowed, passing yards allowed and sacks. Why they’ll win: If Roethlisberger can play at a reasonable level, the Steelers have enough depth at the skill positions that they still have capable weapons even without Brown and presumably without Williams. As long as Roethlisberger is in the starting lineup and can reasonably function, Pittsburgh has an offense that can put up points. And the defense is capable of making plays. Why they’ll lose: It's impossible to underestimate the loss of Brown. If you ranked him as the best non-quarterback in the NFL, it's not crazy. The Broncos' fantastic secondary can concentrate on shutting down everyone else without devoting so many resources to slowing down Brown. Oh, and the Steelers have a quarterback who says he has torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder. That can't be a positive. The offense won't be at full strength, and offense is what makes the Steelers dangerous. Keep in mind: The Steelers scored 34 points in a Dec. 20 meeting against the Broncos. Denver's top-ranked defense didn't allow 30 or more to any other team. So Pittsburgh will feel it can move the ball on Sunday. Though, of course, those 34 points came from a Steelers offense that was a lot healthier. BRONCOS AT A GLANCE How they got here: The Broncos went from being in danger of making the playoffs to the No. 1 seed in the span of a little more than a week. Going into Week 16, there was a scenario in which the Broncos would have been out of the playoffs with a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. But the Broncos beat the Bengals in overtime, then got a break when the New England Patriots lost in Week 17 to the Miami Dolphins. With the help of quarterback Peyton Manning off the bench, the Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers in the regular-season finale and got the AFC's No. 1 seed. The Broncos have had a top-two seed in the AFC each of the last four seasons, which is a heck of a nice run. Last week the Broncos answered a huge question by naming Manning their starter for the divisional round. Key player: While all eyes are on Manning, he needs help. Demaryius Thomas is the key. Thomas has had a bit of a disappointing season as he has struggled with drops. But he still had 105 catches, 1,304 yards and six touchdowns with less-than-stellar quarterback play. Thomas has the ability to take over a game, and you have to figure that the tunnel screens the Broncos prefer will be a big part of the game plan this week. The Broncos offense isn't great, but Thomas can provide a few big plays that will make all the difference. Why they’ll win: The Broncos have the best defense in the league, home-field advantage and a running game that can get hot and carry the offense. It's hard to imagine Manning having a huge game, based on what we've seen this season, but Denver might not need it. They will need Manning to be mistake-free, and let the defense and its top-shelf pass rush carry the day. Why they’ll lose: Denver has been inconsistent, and that's a reflection of its quarterback play. It's possible we look back on the decision to go to Manning as the wrong one, after he posted a ghastly 67.9 rating in the regular season. The defense also has some questions after the Steelers did very well against them in the first meeting. But even if the defense plays very well, the Broncos need something out of the offense. And imagine the reaction if Manning goes one-and-done against a beat-up Roethlisberger (or, heaven forbid, Landry Jones) this weekend. Keep in mind: We have no idea what to expect from Manning. He hasn't started a game since Nov. 15. He hasn't posted a positive touchdown-to-interception ratio in a game since Sept. 27. Was it injuries holding him back? That's what the Broncos are banking on. However, this season looked like a continuation of his struggles from last season, which included a bad playoff game in a loss to the Colts. Manning started and finished eight games this season and had at least 35 attempts in six of them, and that seems like a recipe for a loss for Denver. But who knows? Maybe attempting only nine passes over two months will mean Manning is fresh and sharp for one final playoff push. OUTLOOK How do you predict this game? Will it be a reasonably healthy Roethlisberger, or a shell of the Steelers quarterback? Or will we see Jones handing off to Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman? We already know the Steelers will be without Brown, and that's a massive blow. And then it's impossible to predict how Manning will play. The one thing we do know in this game is that the Broncos defense is nasty. Even though the Steelers played very well in the first meeting, the Broncos were very thin at safety because of injuries. Denver's defense will be better this time around, especially since the Steelers' offense will be far from 100 percent, and that will be enough to carry a Broncos win.

Rams exit leaves St.Louis with no appetite for NFL (Reuters)
By Simon Evans ST LOUIS (Reuters) - After losing two professional football teams – the Cardinals and now the Rams – many leaders and fans in St. Louis are done with the NFL.

St. Louis Mayor Slay – who supported the stadium plan and attended keep-the-Rams rallies – said he’s in no mood to go courting another NFL team. “Why would anybody want to, in any way, even entertain any suggestions from the NFL after the way they dealt with St. Louis here?” the mayor asked in a press briefing Monday.
