Peyton Manning Did Not Shake Hands?  

In all sportmanship, Peyton should've shook Brees hand. It is a sign of respect. That said, you could tell that Peyton was really craving this victory. When he was on the sideline, he looked so frustrated and anxious to get back on the field and make something happen. I'm not sure if his mind was on his possible raise or silencing his critics with this win, but he truly wanted it. I'm not defending his actions, but I can understand how you just want to walk away when something you wanted so bad slips out of your finger though you tried your best to grasp it. However, I do think sports is getting more competitive.

I was listening to the NFL radio on Tuesday, and they said that the NFL tells the losing team to get off the field after the game so that the audience will only see happy faces after the game. I can not tell you if this is what happened in this case, but Payton is a very good person from what I have seen, and I am sure that he would have no problem shaking anyone's hand. I just think it is writer making a store out to be more than it really is. The writer was probably bored, and had nothing else to write about.
