Hungry Panthers Happy to Deny Peyton a Fairytale Finish

(Reuters) - Carolina Panthers players sliced up the sentimental notion they might feel bad about ruining what could be a fairytale ending to Peyton Manning's illustrious career when they play the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50.

Manning, who temporarily lost his starting job during the season due to injuries that limited his throwing ability, is widely expected to call it a career after playing in the Feb. 7 Super Bowl less than two months shy of his 40th birthday.

"We don't really care if this is his last game," fullback Mike Tolbert told the Charlotte Observer.
