NEW ORLEANS -- Cam Newtons exit from his postgame news conference after Sundays 41-38 loss to New Orleans wasnt as abrupt as the one following Super Bowl 50, but it was abrupt nonetheless.The Carolina Panthers quarterback took advantage of a lull in the questions to walk away from the podium after taking only nine questions.When a reporter tried to ask a question while Newton was within a few feet of the podium, the reigning NFL MVP turned to a member of his public relations department and asked, Thats it, right?Given an affirmative nod, Newton left.The entire session lasted about 90 seconds -- shorter than the session following a 24-10 loss to Denver in the Super Bowl. Newton answered 13 questions in that one.But Newtons disappointment over a 1-5 start to the season after a 15-1 record during the 2015 regular season was obvious. And his answers, short and pointed, were similar.They were highlighted by, Im just doing what Im asked to do, and, I feel all right.He twice simply answered, Next question, when asked about his level of?disappointment and his emotions on the sideline in the games last few minutes.He also twice replied that the Panthers just have to find ways to win.Just miscommunication, Newton replied in his most in-depth answer, referring to a first-quarter interception in the end zone on a pass intended for wide receiver Devin Funchess. A lack there of execution. Just got to be better.Newton admitted two days after the Super Bowl that he is a sore loser.Ive been on record to say Im a sore loser, Newton said then. Who likes to lose? You show me a good loser, and Im going to show you a loser. Its not a popularity contest. Im here to win football games.But later during the offseason, Newton told Ebony he could have handled the situation better.The truth is, I represent something way bigger than myself, Newton told the magazine. Im doing it for [my fans and family], and I felt like I let them down. Joe Namath Rams Jersey . Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game.

In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Todd Gurley II Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. The slumping Atlanta Hawks will seek to avoid a winless Western swing Wednesday night they visit the Phoenix Suns.What began as a reasonable trip -- matchups with the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix, with the powerful Golden State Warriors interspersed -- turned into a bit of a nightmare after 27- and 15-point drubbings at the hands of the Jazz and Lakers.Hawks players held a no-coaches meeting in Los Angeles, and it apparently made a positive impact. They led at Golden State for the better part of three periods Monday night before falling just short at the end, 105-100.Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer applauded the players meeting.If they want to talk and hammer some things out, thats usually a good thing, the longtime San Antonio Spurs assistant said Monday in Oakland.Atlanta (10-8) lost six of its past seven after a 9-2 start despite strong play by veteran big man Dwight Howard.The NBAs career leader among active players in rebounds and blocked shots had a 14-point, 16-rebound performance at Golden State.Three games earlier, he led a win over the Indiana Pacers with 23 points and 20 rebounds, the 46th 20-20 game of his career.Howard figures to get some resistance Wednesday night from fellow veteran Tyson Chandler, who had a big game of his own -- 10 points, 15 rebounds -- his last time out, Sunday against the Denver Nuggets.Chandler missed eight of the Suns previous 10 games while dealing with the death of his mother earlier this month.Howard (12.8 rebounds per game) andd Chandler (12.dddddddddddd) rank third and fifth, respectively, in the league on the boards this season.A matchup with the Suns might be just what the doctor ordered for the Hawks. Phoenix (5-13) has the second-worst record in the West and is coming off a 120-114 home loss to Denver.Point guard Eric Bledsoe poured in a career-best 35 points in the defeat, but he faces a stiffer challenge Wednesday in Hawks counterpart Dennis Schroder.Atlantas first-year starter not only contributed a team-high 24 points to the loss at Golden State, but he also helped harass Warriors star Stephen Curry into 6-of-17 shooting.While Schroder was too quick at times for Curry, he will have to deal with Suns guard Devin Booker on Wednesday.As Schroder did with Curry, Booker accepts the challenge to be as good on the defensive end as on offense.If you want to be great, thats the role youve got to take on, Booker, addressing the media at practice Tuesday, said of being a defensive stopper. Youve got to be a two-way player. All the great players in the league are two-way players.When the Hawks last saw the Suns, they couldnt handle Booker on the offensive end. Booker had 34 points, his second-best output as a rookie, when the Suns lost at Atlanta last April.Booker has four 30-point games this season, including one Sunday in the loss to Denver, giving him a total of 10 in his career.
