CHARLOTTE, N. Zay Jones Womens Jersey .C. - For all of the numbers Cam Newton has put up in his first four seasons with the Carolina Panthers, Superman hasnt won a playoff game.Newton is eager to change that Saturday when Carolina hosts the Arizona Cardinals in an NFC wild-card game.It would mean a lot not only for myself, but for this organization, Newton said Wednesday. ... We havent had the best of luck in the playoffs.Carolinas last playoff win was nine years ago.The Panthers have been back twice since, losing in 2008 to Arizona and last season to San Francisco in home divisional playoff games.The Panthers lost 23-10 in January to a 49ers team that was loaded with playoff experience after going to three straight NFC Championship games. Newton said participating in the playoffs last season should benefit the Panthers.I dont think we got beat talent-wise, it was more we got beat experience-wise, Newton said.The Panthers were 6-10 and 7-9 in Newtons first two seasons. They went 12-4 last season and earned the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.Newton was 16 of 25 for 267 yards with two interceptions and one touchdown in the loss to the 49ers. He said hes learned a lot from that defeat.Just playing smart. Knowing when to take shots. Valuing first downs and staying on the field, Newton said. Because playoff momentum is different than regular season momentum. The team (that) has it, they usually get the win.Newton has re-written Carolinas record books since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2011.Hes the only quarterback in NFL history to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 500 yards in his first four seasons. Hes run for 33 touchdowns in his career.This hasnt been Newtons best statistical season. He has thrown for 3,127 yards and a modest 18 touchdowns with 12 interceptions while battling through ankle, rib and back injuries.But he finished strong, leading the Panthers to three wins in December and the NFC South championship.Panthers coach Ron Rivera believes the two-vehicle wreck Dec. 9 that left Newton with two fractures in his lower back has helped put things in perspective for the 25-year-old quarterback.Rivera said he noticed a different young man when he met with Newton in the hospital the night of the crash.He said Newton is having fun again — something he wasnt doing Carolinas seven-game winless streak.Somewhere along the lines he realized maybe he was getting too serious about things and started realizing, hey, dont get caught up in certain things, get caught up things that are really more important, Rivera said. That has helped him relax and play relaxed. When hes having fun and when hes having fun hes pretty doggone good.Rivera said that has had a trickle-down effect on the rest of the team.Guys are feeding off that energy, the fourth-year coach said.Newton said that while the Panthers might have been happy to get into the post-season last year, that isnt the case now. He said the Panthers have approached this week with laser-sharp focus and want more.We have the eye on the prize, Newton said.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Nathan Peterman Bills Jersey .com) - Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl-Anthony Towns each scored 12 points in the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats 70-55 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Dion Dawkins Youth Jersey . He will play 10th-seeded Feliciano Lopez in Sundays final, after the Spanish left-hander defeated Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 7-6 (7), 6-4.Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have escaped further punishment after their collision on the first lap of the Spanish GP resulted in both Mercedes cars crashing out. After Rosberg overtook the pole-sitting Hamilton off the line, the pair clashed as world champion Hamilton strove to regain the lead at Turn Four.Both drivers were summoned to face the stewards after the race but escaped without punishment with their clash adjudged to have been a racing incident. He made a mistake and started in the wrong engine setting, said Hamilton. Before the race we have to pick which engine setting and there is only one, maximum power, and he hadnt gone to that. So he derated at that point and it meant that he lost about 180 bhp.I was catching him and as I was catching he wasnt on the racing line. As a racing driver when you are going 17kph faster you go for the gap. Lewis Hamilton says he wont get involved in the blame game over who was responsible for his crash with team-mate Nico Rosberg in Spain. But Rosberg, who remains 39 points clear in the world championship from Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen, was adamant that he had done nothing wrong.I was aware of the situation and saw Lewis coming closer, so I went for the usual racing driver action of closing the inside line and closing the door as early as I could. I made it very clear I wasnt going to leave any space on the inside and I was very surprised he went for the gap, Rosberg told Sky F1. Nico Rosberg says he was gutted by his crash with Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in Spain Mercedes chief Niki Lauda initially described the crash as unacceptable and completely unnecessary.However, team boss Toto Wolff refused to pin the blame on either driver.We talked to both drivers, it is not a clear cut. It is a very difficult situation, Wolff told Sky Sports. They are both pretty upset. Of course they have their perspective, we need to talk to them again, look at the pictures, look at the data and then avooid this in the future. Nathan Peterman Youth Jersey. Merc crash is a defining moment Sky F1s Martin Brundle on why the Rosberg-Hamilton crash is a defining moment for Mercedes After losing the lead through the first corner, Hamilton got a run on Rosberg as they exited the long Turn Three, with the Briton moving towards the inside in an attempt to overtake. But as the Rosbergs Mercedes moved across the track, Hamilton went on the grass, lost traction and was pitched into a spin. Hamilton spun into the back of Rosberg, sending both cars into the gravel trap and out of the race. That image will be a defining moment for this season and possibly a defining moment for where the Mercedes team heads for 2017, said Sky Sports F1s Martin Brundle.I think Mercedes have a bigger job to do today to pacify their drivers than they did after Spa 2014. Verstappen wins after Merc madness Red Bull debutant becomes the youngest-ever winner in F1 Detailed examination of the crash by Sky F1 analyst Anthony Davidson revealed Rosberg was in a lower engine mode as the crash developed.The harvesting light starts flashing and Rosberg then reacts to it. His hand goes down and makes a switch change, then he presses a button on the top left, then he looks in the mirror as Hamilton is making his move and puts him on the grass, explained Davidson. Anthony Davidson looks at the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg that wiped both Mercedes drivers out of the Spanish Grand Prix on lap one He was reacting to something Lewis wasnt and then he tried to squeeze the gap but it was too late.As soon as Hamilton sees that light flashing he knows what is happening and goes for the move. He goes for the gap, it was risky, but that is racing. It was very aggressive from Rosberg.Mercedes explain Hamilton-Rosberg crash Every race live in 2016 Sky Sports F1 brings you every race live in 2016.
