Why did Cam Newton not try to recover costly Super Bowl fumble?

I thought that Denver was about to lose the game with around 5 min left, WFT, 3rd and 9 or 17 and a running play, and they did this numerous times. Did they lose confidence in Manning or the receivers, yes in the end they won but they took one hell of a chance with punting the ball away a few too many times. Too many Carolina screwups.
Congrats to Denver and Peyton for the win, this game was much better than last year's cheatfest and the better team won in the end, it was a fitting end to Manning's career.
Looks like Peyton Manning will announce his retirement tomorrow. He finishes on top. What a great way to end a great career.
Thanks Smuler. Congratulations to the Mets for a great season last year. Although the WS didn't go as planned, the Amazings had a great year.

Manziel Mess
This is just one ugly mess and it will be interesting to see how it plays out:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/26/us/johnny-manziel-indicted/
It's a misdemeanor but there is the possibility of up to a year in jail time and NFL suspension regardless of how the criminal case shakes out.
The key prosecution witness is the ex girlfriend Crowley, who was allegedly assaulted and allegedly lost her hearing as a result of the assault, this according to her own affidavit. She doesn't have to cooperate but if she doesn't, she can be subpoenaed to trial, confronted with the affidavit, and be forced to corroborate it under penalty of perjury if she doesn't. Since she is no longer dating Manziel, it will go worse for him if she does cooperate.
Another possible prosecution witness is the valet who failed to intervene. I truly feel sorry for the dude because he was and is in a lose-lose situation no matter what he did. Crowley asked that the valet not let Johnny take her away from the hotel. Johnny was the paying guest, not the girl. The valet therefore had to choose between pissing off the paying guest- something he chose not to do- or ignoring the damsel in distress, who then got assaulted due to valet failing to intervene to stop the parties from driving away. On cross examination, this valet will likely be asked about whether the parties looked intoxicated and what the parties said and what the hotel policies are for intervening in disputes on the premises. He better look at the police report and be careful about his responses if they did some intoxication tests. I don't think he will come out of this smelling like a rose with his employer. He was working at the wrong valet station at the wrong time.
I don't see this going well for Manziel. It may be that the only way to defend it will be to take the stand if Crowley testifies against him. Otherwise he will have to rely on prosecutors cross examining his own ex-girlfriend which will not look good. If he does take the stand the prosecutor will have a field day with him. This case could be a very ugly mess. I will be interested to see what defense strategy his attorney employs. Keeping Crowley out of court will only work if she is ensconced in a safe house somewhere where she cannot be subpoenaed. But at this point money is running out for Johnny. The Browns released him, but now he has to pay high priced defense lawyers and for the damages he caused at his parties in LA plus two agents fired him in the last month. What a train wreck this is !!!!!!!

The NFL draft is tomorrow night and for the first time in memory, i don't care about it and probably won't bother watching. I don't even know (or care) who is favored to be picked first.
There is a criminal investigation into the hack of Laremy Tunsil's twitter account which cost him millions of dollars, and his slipping at least 7 and maybe 10 or more spots in the NFL Draft:

During the draft, it was mentioned that his step-father may have been responsible behind the hack.
In other news, the Buffalo Bills did not pick up the 2017 option on QB EJ Manuel. He was their first-round pick 4 years ago.
