If Brees considers Manning a class act, should we argue?

Good Lord, I hope you were being sarcastic. Otherwise,

As long as he shows respect to his competitors (which he did) in post game interviews he did what he needed to do.


This is how I feel. I didn't even notice it Sunday night, just heard him talking about Porter's great play, how the onsides kick was a turning point and a great play by the Saints, and how Drew played great. I don't give a shite if any pro athlete ever shakes hands.

Festus, the funny thing is many would not argue that fact right now.

True. I hope Drew Brees doesn't declare OJ was innocent and have him set free by the masses.

If Manning stays on the field:

1) The media swarms him and ignores a deserving Saint
2) Indy fans think he is happy the Saints won
3) People on this site bitch that he hooged the Spotlight
4) The Manning haters twist it somehow into a bad thing


GET THE frick OVER IT, PEOPLE

He did not shake hands, however he called Drew Brees that night to personally congratulate him. His post game interview he was nothing but respectful towards the Saints. So I have no issues with him trying to navigate around hundreds of people to find Brees to shake his hand. Sure what Manning told him on phone meant more to Brees than an after game handshake.

False, they film he congratulating Drew then it's all Saints from there.

What??

Cause Manning posts on TD

Kinda a catch all, don't you think. People twisting things is no excuse for poor sportsmanship.

Those 4 reasons are possibly the gayest I've seen posted yet, fwiw.

Yea, once again, its really not that difficult to walk over and shake hands.

The excuses are retarded. He just didnt feel liek it. If he would man up and admit it instead ofthe media and him making excuses i wouldnt care.

That's what I think, Dolla. I guess when fans idolize certain athletes, they excuse and justify any behavior. I guarantee that some of those excusing Peyton were ones criticizing Lebron.
