Seattle, Denver in Super Bowl
Matchup brings
megastars and
everyone else
(AP) — The names are hardly as
familiar as Peyton Manning and
Richard Sherman. Yet, for all the
megastars and All-Pros in this Su
per Bowl, there are guys like
Jermaine Kearse and Paris Lenon.
Like M ichael Robinson and
Terrance Knighton. Malcolm Smith
and Manny Ramirez.
Players who have gone from
pretty much nowhere on the NFL
landscape to the doorstep of a cham
pionship.
Perhaps no one is more grateful
for the opportunity to grab a ring
than these men. Some are veterans
who fit the term journeymen. Some
are youngsters who went in late
rounds of the draft — or were ig
nored altogether.
All recognize they will play some
sort of role in Sunday's champion
ship game. Some might even sneak
into a starring part, the way running
back Tim Smith did in 1987 or
comerback Larry Brown did in 1996.

The Peninsula Little League
Board voted Thursday to dissolve
the league and allocate players to
three adjacent leagues for the cur
rent year and beyond.
Officials said the decision was
not made lightly, but was needed
because the population and diver
sity of the area served by Peninsula
has changed over the years to a
point where there are fewer boys
and girls of playing age available.
Parents are urged to immediately
register their players in their new
league. For those players residing
or attending King, Beech, Chief Jo

schools, they will be joining the

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson brings Seattle to the
Super Bowl for the first time since 2005.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is a four-time MVP.
"You never know who it might
be," said Knighton, the massive
defensive tackle coming off a sen-
sational AFC championship game
performance.
Denver Coach John Fox praises
the work ethic of Knighton, who was
buried deep on the depth chart in
training camp after being signed as
a free agent away from the Jaguars,
Ditto for Seattle's Kearse, who
played at the University of Wash-
ington but went undrafted in 2012.
His 35-yard catch for the winning
score against San Francisco keyed
Seattle's NFC title win.
Some credit Kearse undergoing
Lasik eye surgery last winter with
his becoming a force, but Seattle
coach Pete Carroll can't confirm that.
He can confirm that Kearse's impor
tance has steadily risen this season.
Broncos linebacker Lenon's con
fidence had to be waning at various
points-inhis 12-year career. He was
on the 0-16 Lions of 2008, eight
years after he was not selected in
the draft. Yet here he is, a backup to
