What its about for me is this week and our matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.What did or didnt happen in any of other five, six Super Bowls I coached, five Super Bowls as a head coach, three that I was involved in as an assistant, this now being the ninth one, this is the one that is really important.LIGHTING THE WAY: In a season during which the NFL has seen more controversy than it could ever anticipate, it would not surprise anyone if the Super Bowl were decided by a replay challenge being upheld or overturned.So the NFL is making sure it has the best possible technology for those replays.This season, University of Phoenix Stadium became the first NFL venue illuminated with high output LED Lighting. Not only does such lighting dramatically reduce energy usage by more than 75 per cent, but the Ephesus LED system provides much more light evenly distributed throughout the playing surface than ever before.For the Super Bowl, Ephesus Lighting engineers expect to provide nearly 20 per cent more light than ever for an NFL game.The way we are lighting the field for Super Bowl 49 will allow NBC cameras to get more clarity and a greater depth of focus, said Joe Casper, founder of Ephesus Lighting.As a result they will be able to zoom in tighter on replays and super slow motion without the flicker-effect or blurriness that is often associated with zooming in. This should help replay officials have the best possible pictures to make the right call.When we went into the sports LED lighting business we wanted to focus on three attributes, Casper added. We wanted to improve player performance, give the fans at home and at the game a better experience, and reduce energy usage. The ability to help referees make the right call is an added benefit that may help change the outcome of a game for the better one day.NEW HATS: The first thing Seahawks and Patriots players received as gifts when they reached Phoenix were new hats.As they got off their charters at Sky Harbor Airport, they were handed special New Era hats that feature reflective material both on the top of the caps visor and the under-brim. When exposed to a camera flash, even from a phone, it emboldens the Super Bowl logo and the date and location of the game.Even Patriots owner Robert Kraft readily accepted one, and tight end Rob Gronkowski reached back to get an extra souvenir.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Fake Yeezy China .

Peterson was sentenced to a form of probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanour charge of reckless assault for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status or whether he might be subject to a new NFL policy that calls for a six-game suspension without pay for a first domestic violence offence. The All-Pro running back was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child after the incident earlier this year in suburban Houston. He has been on paid leave under a special exemption from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. I stand here and I take full responsibility for my actions. I love my son more than anyone of you could even imagine and Im anxious to continue my relationship with my child, Peterson said outside the courthouse after accepting the plea deal. Im just glad this is over, he added. I can put this behind me, and me and my family can continue to move forward. He was not allowed to be near his son while the case was pending, but now can resume having contact with the boy. Adrian wants to get on with his life and have his relationship with his son and get back to playing football, Petersons attorney, Rusty Hardin, said. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league cannot provide a timetable for that. We will review the matter, including the court record, and then make a determination on his status, McCarthy said. The Vikings said they were aware of the plea agreement, and would have further comment at the appropriate time. Peterson is one of a handful of NFL players who have been involved in domestic violence cases lately, including Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy, Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer and former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. After receiving plenty of criticism for initially handing Rice only a two-game suspension, Goodell announced in August that he was toughening the leagues punishments for domestic violence. Attention to the issue rose considerably in September, when a video surfaced showing Rice knocking out his then-fiancee — and now wife — in a casino elevator; he soon was cut by the Ravens and indefinitely barred by the league. Peterson has said he never intended to harm his son and was disciplining him in tthe same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas.dddddddddddd The boy suffered cuts, marks and bruising to his thighs, back and one of his testicles, according to court records. Peterson had tentatively been set to go on trial Dec. 1. If he had been convicted of the felony charge, he could have faced up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Instead, he received two years of deferred adjudication, a form of probation. He was fined $4,000 and must complete parenting classes and perform 80 hours of community service. His no contest plea wasnt an admission of guilt but was treated as such for sentencing. Peterson will have no travel restrictions. If he completes his probation without incident, the misdemeanour charge will be removed from his record. Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon said he believed the plea agreement was in the best interest of Petersons son. The probation is all about making him a better parent, Ligon said. Last month, a visiting judge denied a request by prosecutors to have a new judge appointed to the case. Prosecutors had accused Montgomery County state District Judge Kelly Case of being biased against them. The plea deal made moot a pending motion by prosecutors to revoke Petersons $15,000 bond for alleged marijuana use while he was out of bond. Peterson will, however, be subject to random drug tests under the agreement. Corporal punishment is on the decline in the U.S. but still widely practiced in homes and schools. In every state in the country, a parent can legally hit their child as long as the force is reasonable. But whats considered reasonable varies from place to place. The Texas Attorney Generals Office notes that belts and brushes are accepted by many as legitimate disciplinary tools, but electrical or phone cords, boards, yardsticks, ropes, shoes, and wires are likely to be considered instruments of abuse. Texas law says the use of non-deadly force against someone younger than 18 is justified if a parent or guardian reasonably believes the force is necessary to discipline the child or to safeguard or promote his welfare. Ligon said the decision to indict Peterson was a reflection that this went beyond what was reasonable in regards to being a parent. I believe Mr. Peterson is accepting responsibility. ___ Associated Press writers Howard Fendrich in Washington and Michael Graczyk in Conroe, Texas, contributed to this report. ___ Follow Juan A.
