BOCA RATON, Fla.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera has become one of the most popular guys at the party after his first Super Bowl berth as a head coach.
Now he wants to crash the party again, next time with a different result.
When Rivera and his wife joined NASCAR team owner Felix Sabates for dinner in Miami this past weekend, Rivera said many of the club-hopping, South Beach hipsters recognized him.
And as he’s walked the sprawling grounds of the Boca Raton Resort this week at the NFL’s annual meetings, Rivera has been stopped more often than at previous meetings.
