Manning did not shake hands

[NateDawg39]

Is he a poor sport for leaving without shaking hands?

i heard they werelooking for each other but it was to wild and crazy so they both went their own ways

[eagles_victory]

People sure wanted to jump all over Lebron when he didn't so while I don't think its a big deal Peyton should recieve the same treatment.

[NateDawg39]

In my opinion, it should not be a big deal for anyone to have left without shaking hands. Manning puts his heart and soul into his game and losing the way they did makes it that much harder. I know the Saints players don't give a crap about shaking hands and no other SB winner would really care. They just want to touch that trophy and wear the hat and T's. Sure a congratulatory shake would have looked nice but I doubt it is the main thing they look forward to after the game

no big deal ... now if someone were to come up to Peyton (or anyone) and offer their hand & they refused, that would be more of a big deal

[ziggy29]

I think it was silly when people jumped on LeBron, and it's silly here.

For one thing, if you're really disappointed you may not want to stick around and let it show. For another, the Saints won the Super Bowl and the postgame was about them, not about Manning or any of the other Colts.

Why would we single out Manning and not the other Colts players who do the same? Is there an unwritten "special rule" for the starting QBs or for the "stars" of an NBA team such as LeBron?

I've heard a few players from Super Bowl losing teams talk about how it's next to impossible to shake hands any longer than 30 seconds after the game is over because the NFL wants to get the stage set up for the trophy presentation, and the losing team is basically kicked off the field.

He played it off cool on ESPN. Personally i do not think its that big of a deal.

[BaTmAn24]

Not a big deal at all. Brees was very content with his family by his side. I'm sure he didn't mind it one bit while he was holding the Lombardi trophy.

:bigcry: << Mannings demeanor has always been one of a spoiled obnoxious better than thou brat .

[eagles_victory]

Now I have a huge problem with kids who don't shake hands at the high school level but that is a different situation because the teams line up and shake hands and to me when you dont do it at the high school ranks thats like someone sticking their hand out and you refusing to shake it.

[Emerson1]

I read he came to the locker room after.

what?

[Gobbler Fan]

Its always been my oppinion of Manning ...

He has always been put on a pedestal by the media and his pr guys have done a great job ... but in reality him throwing the towel after his kicker missed a fg that was out of his range showed his true colors . Maybe if he could have driven them closer and put the kicker in a better situation to make the FG .



No one's asking him to buy dinner for the Saints. It's called showing respect. I myself hope he enjoyed that humble pie after throwing that pick 6 .

So he is not allowed to be frustrated that his team did not score?

He also said when the SB is over it is the winning team's field and he feels they deserve to be on it to celebrate alone...He called Brees btw last night to congratulate him

People will just find anything to get pissed off about. He's a professional athlete, if you don't like him or the things he does, then don't support him, but don't try to say things about the man that aren't true.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPc6Dxq12t4&NR=1 you can probably see that on every sideline of every game, every year. LOL so silly.

The game isn't played in a shaolin temple.

I don't see what is so wrong with the video. These are grown men with pride, and in football you're playing with guys who have a lot of it. You tell them they can't do something, they're going to want to do it. You get in their face about it and make them feel embarrassed, they will want to rectify the situation. Of course it is expected for people to get upset about this and take it the wrong way if they haven't been in that moment and seen that. Pride is one of the things that keeps you going in football, beyond a doubt.

I bet the one that posted this on youtube hasn't contributed 1% to charities of the amount Mr. Manning has.

Good thing you're not a lawyer.:doh:

Option 1: Look at how big of a jerk Peyton Manning is. He clearly does not care a bit about his own teammates, and just cares about his own PR and his own statistics. He called out his center in front of the other teammates. What a mean person.

Option 2: It is evident how much he cares about the game and winning. His passion is shown by the way he approaches one of the best centers to ever play the game and calls him out in front of his teammates. Manning undoubtedly holds himself to a higher standard as well and would allow the same to happen to him if roles were reversed.

One thing for the center that must be pointed out he didn't throw that interception that Manning threw and Manning wasn't rushed that bad on that play.
