New Orleans is one of the most vibrant, exciting, creative and unique cities in the world. And now it also has the best football team. Indianapolis has some auto races and a football team it stole from another city.

saintsalltheway...donate your body to science when you die. You can prove a brain is NOT needed to live!Cant argue with you, you not smart enough, and I cant insult you cause you are too stupid to tell when you've been insulted. If ignorance is bliss then you, my friend ,are truly in heaven!

He is a big BABY. Glad you lost the game Peyton!!!

You are completely WRONG! He should have congratulated the winner. At least the Saints quarterback. A handshake, how hard is that to do. I like Peyton Manning, but that was very unsporting of him. He looked like a jerk.

Frankly, the only people that bring it to the forefront are the media that have nothing better to do than think of something to start a controversy. uggh.

thats bull.. he's a big cry baby. If my sone left the field without shaking hands. I would sit out the next game!

quit making excuses's for manning ,
,he showed no CLASS and is a bad sportsman,,
and a sore loser

Not buying it. Manning should have sucked it up and did what everyother opposing quarterback does and congratulate the winner. Lame excuse in my opinion.

That is complete crap! Peyton was mad he lost, and didn't have the class to step up to the better team and congratulate them. He is quite cocky if he thinks by him stepping off the field he was giving the Saints their day....yes, please get the almighty Peyton Manning off the field so that the lowly Saints can have a moment to shine! Peyton LOST, and I don't care who you are, shaking hands w/ your opponent after the game is part of it. I have no respect for him, and I am thrilled the Saints put it to the Colts! I've been a fan for years, and this is absolutely unbelievable! WHO DAT!

The team lost the game, not peyton. Sure he threw the ball, but being a student of the game I can give 5 quick reasons why the pass wasn't completed. But most of the credit should go to New orleans. It obviouse they had spent much time watching
the game films.

Manning is a great athlete, and gentleman........and easy on the eyes.....lol....

I think that until everyone knows what it's like to blow it in front of millions of people, they should keep their negative comments to themselves. Our children learn what WE teach them, and our children aren't playing in front of the world! I say give the guy a break. If the other team can, than who are we to judge? Seriously, it's not the end of the world!

I understand Manning's actions, if I have a bad day at work all i want to do is go home and sit quietly in room by myself and watch tv, so multiply that by a million and i'm sure thats how manning felt. The problem I have is that i know a lot of critics are giving him a hard time but if it was anyone but the great one Peyton Manning, almost everyone would be freaking out over the incident. So many are giving him a pass because who he is. How is him losing the game and his feeling after the fact any different than the losers of the last 44 years, yet those players continued the tradition. I hate the Colts but I've always thought Manning was a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and while he does have an ego you almost have to in his position.

Peyton is a sore loser. We could have written on a piece of paper at the beginning of the game the actions he would have taken at the end of the game given a loss. It is all about him. Same as Farve during the playoffs. Very predictable people as far as certain actions are concerned. I do not really blame him as I may have done the same thing given the circumstances. That does not mean he is right though...

I am really sick of you sports writer apologists making excuses for classless acts by athletes. The act doesn't make Peyton a classless person, but it nevertheless was a classless act that was also gutless. Man up pro athletes and writers. It takes a much bigger man to cross the field and congratulate one's opponent than it does to sulk off the field in a pout because you lost. Understandable - not really. Supportable - hardly.

My daughter moved to New Orleans 3 months ago and the Saints were the one tangible piece of hope Katrina victims had to lift their morale after our government stopped helping them. Now we are throwing all our efforts at Haiti and Obama even mentioned rebuilding the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere while the homes destroyed by Katrina still lie in ruins. I wanted the Saints to win so the people of New Orleans might get a temporary boost in morale. Carnivale started yesterday and I hope this win brings many more tourists down there to spend the money the people need to finish the job left behind after the pressure was taken off our "president" to help rebuild the area. Rebuilding Haiti is more high-profile internationally, so that's the wheel that gets the grease. This of course is just my personal opinion and not that of this or any segment of the media or this network. Dan M., Massachusetts

bologna!! they come down hard on lebron, they definitely need to come down hard on manning.

to those saying he needs to 'congratulate the winner.' he did. in the post game conference. he just didn't shake anyones hand, and he doesnt have to. i think a congratulations is a sign of respect and class but it shouldnt matter how it is done. it is not his job duty to high-five the opposing team. I dont understand why everyone expects a pat on the back.

ok so our coach makes us shake the winning teams hand...its called good sportsmanship he should have been there to congradulate the saints they are a team that worked just as hard but in the end was better but i guess thats the difference between high school football and the nfl i mean college still goes out an congradulates the team no problem i think he should look at all the people below him and take a lesson in sportsmanship from college and highschool
