The Panthers were showered with boos throughout that contest, as coach Matt Rhule rotated Newton and Sam Darnold in at the quarterback position only to see the offense sputter with both on the field. The performance was bad enough that the crowd erupted in a “fire Matt Rhule” chant late in the contest. But Newton believes that the criticism of Rhule is unwarranted, and he isn’t willing to blame the Panthers’ coach for the team’s recent struggles....

NEWSWEEK: Why start a TV company? Niklas Zennström: We actually wanted to do it for many years but it was just too early. A year and a half ago, we thought it was time. We got really good insight because we were dealing with many of the media companies through litigation.

Bastian Schweinsteiger didn’t have the best of times from a footballing perspective in his two years at Old Trafford, but he has retained an affinity for Manchester United. He liked what he saw.

This isn’t just going the opposite direction based on Newton outdueling Rodgers in the Panthers’ 37-29 victory over the Packers on Sunday. Looking at how they both play the game, it’s just hard to see much separation … except for the separation in the NFC standings....

Newton and Kaepernick were drafted in the same year, and their careers have taken both similar and different paths. Both were at the top of their game. Both took their teams to a Super Bowl. Both were dual-threat quarterbacks and both are household names. Over the last year, they’ve been compared to each other for their quarterback prowess. Newton played for the Carolina Panthers for the bulk of his career, but he was released in the summer of 2020....
