This doesn't look like a "sore loser"...

Peyton Manning congratulates Drew Brees



Oh wait! He didn't!!

1. You're right - Cam did great - until he walked out of the post-game press interview.

That's all folks are saying.

And IMHO, he and his fans need to own up to that...


(and if you think I'm not a fan of this great young player - you'd be wrong...)

2. The part of him walking out of the interview is irrelevant, just as Chris Everett,

oops, I'm sorry, Jim Everett walking out of an interview.

The point is, Cam, did what he needed to on the field. It used to be only the head coach would comment after the game, because the players are so emotionally involved in the game, that it takes time for them to recover from the agony of defeat in the biggest game of the year.

This always cracks me up:

3. I don't have a problem with walking out on the interview

Lots of people don't like giving them.

He acts like a jackass on the field in my opinion, but he has managed to keep that to the field in the pros after some troubling incidents in college.

4. Anyone at that level is a "sore loser". None of them like to lose, but Newton could have handled

that press conference much better. A little time and maturity, and he'll be better at faking it in the future.

5. Yup...people can act like a**holes when they lose, it happens...

But he keeps digging the hole deeper...a simple..I didn't handle it well, I apologize...but he doesn't even seem capable of that.

6. Maybe after talking with his marketing people about how this hurts his "brand",

he'll try harder in the future to fake it when talking to the media. His post-game press conference made Marshawn Lynch and Bill Belichick look like they're "media friendly" by comparison.

7. He should talk to them...

But I'm getting the impression Cam doesn't like to take advice.

10. I'm getting the impression Cam doesn't like to take criticism, either.

Or accountability...

11. I'm getting the impression someone else here doesn't like to take criticism, either...

Not you.

8. Kind of like putting everyone on ignore.

A simple take it like a man would have sufficed.

9. He's pefectly happy to have the media ogling him when he's celebrating and showing off

but the second the going got tough, he got going -- and when he resurfaces, he says no one is qualified to judge him? Bad sportsmanship, bad leadership, bad role modeling.
