SAN JOSE, Calif. -- They dab and dance. They give footballs to kids after touchdowns and rip down banners to defend their home turf. They shoot music videos in the locker room and their quarterback wears sequined shoes and designer pants.
They also have a Superman, Batman and Captain America on the roster.
This sounds like a reality television show.
But in reality, the NFC champion Carolina Panthers are a really good football team, as their NFL-best 17-1 record indicates.
Tonight, against the AFC champion Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50, they have a chance to show the parts of the world that haven't been paying close attention, that only know them for the sideshows, what they are all about.
