What did Manning do?

HE WALKED OFF THE FIELD WITHOUT SHAKING HANDS WITH ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S ALL OVER ESPN!!! PEYTON MANNING HATES NEW ORLEANS!!!

sore loser

I'm not watching ESPN, but it's certainly not being widely reported on the internet, as far as I can tell.

I don't know what Manning did, but he's typically a total class act.

QB's shake hands after the game. It's an unwritten rule that players know about and respect.

Manning might be a class act, outside of the times he's had his ass handed to him by Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.

I suppose I'd be pissed off if my title was downgraded to 2nd best of his generation.

I noticed he walked off the field without saying anything to the Saints, but there was a lot of commotion and craziness at that point. I'd probably prefer he shook hands, but won't crucify him for not doing so.

Being the favorites and losing like that has to be tough...I'd probably throw a gatorade tub or something.

I would have preferred that he shook hands before he left. I won't defend him for that. But overall, he's been a real classy guy throughout his career (and he's had his ass handed to him plenty of times, only winning 1 Super Bowl). I'm not sure why there's so much bitterness towards him.

I'm just glad New Orleans is now restored to its pre-Katrina state. Who knew a football game could mean so much.

I don't think it has anything to do with being the favorite. Peyton had a tough game.
Did you not see the expression on his face well before the interception? He looked completely beat down and out of sorts.

I was specifically watching QBs to shake hands after the game. One of the first shots they showed when the game was over was an overhead of Drew Brees surrounded by about 50 people with boom mikes and cameras. Manning would have had to pull people out of the way to get to Brees. He didn't have the opportunity to congratulate him.

I think he was broken by Sean Payton. He didn't step on the field for nearly an hour. He took something like 6 snaps out of 40. Sean Payton took Peyton Manning out of the game with ball control. By the time he was back in, you could tell he was pressing, he wasn't sure when he'd get the ball again.

That was a great game.

The onside kick was really something else. Not many coaches would have put themselves on the line like that in the Super Bowl. If the Colts had recovered, scored, and won the game by a TD then Payton would be getting ripped to shreds today.
