You have to consider the circumstances for Peyton. His dad played for that team, he grew up watching them, and playing on that field as a kid........he probably wanted to play for the Saints and it ended up he had to face them in the Super Bowl after everything that had went on with Katrina. It was probably a confusing situation for him and he just wanted to get somewhere and be alone.

I think Peyton said he left the field quickly because he wanted the spot light on the Saints, if I remember correctly, that's what he said.
Being a good sportsman is playing fair, respecting the game and giving credit after to an opponent. Manning did all those things Sunday. In his postgame press conference he said of his quick exit:
"I certainly know how it was three years ago when we won. There's not much consolation for the guys who didn't win. There's the stage being set up and the celebration. It's time for the Saints to celebrate. It's their field."
That's probably a tad disingenuous, but no more than it would have been if Peyton had walked over to congratulate Drew Brees.
For the record, Peyton did call Brees later in the night. Said the Saints quarterback: "Peyton's a class guy." If the man who was supposedly snubbed thinks so, that's enough for me. LINK
