Peyton Manning stormed off the field in 2010.

I'm just gonna put this here.

I'm sure there were better ways to handle it... but it's not like he's the first QB to ever have a hard time losing the SuperBowl. I tend to think it's good company. 

But I also want to note how hypocritical it is for a league that is RANK with corruption and scandal to be preachy about "sportsmanship." But that's for another day.

To me not congratulating your opponent on the field of battle right after the game is much worse than not wanting to take predictably moronic questions from the press or listen to your gloating opponents comments.

it's been pointed out over and over again that peyton manning and other high profile quarterbacks act exactly like cam did when they're losing or getting killed

but cam will forever and always be the guy who stole a laptop and dances instead of "acting like he's been there" and tossing the ball to the ref when he scores a touchdown in the minds of a lot of people so the double standard at play here is virtually a moot point

If I remember correctly Peyton was slammed in the media after that.

I'll flip a board game right before I lose.

i remember him being pretty unfairly slammed as a crybaby and choker for years.  he was regarded as a stat padder who piled up numbers and accolades in the regular season but crumbled under real pressure.  the peyton manning as we know him now only really started to take shape after super bowl xli.

I think it's also worth noting that I believe that the Peyton Manning from this year was 33 years old?

 lol must have been playing monopoly. We have put many of friendships on temporary hold because of this game

I've really never understood the need to interview the losing team right after the game anyway. They should give them time to get over the loss plus it should be all about the winning team.
