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

Your missing the point. Peyton was to pissed to shake his hand like everyone else does after a Super Bowl loss. He just did that to try to save face. And Drew being the good guy he his said whatt any one with class would of said. Bottom line he was a butt hurt turd

Boom goes the dy-no-mite. Drew's on board too.
