DOLPHINS: All time QB ranking

[Mark S. Clark]

I'm guessing that he's referring to the fact that he didn't actually go and
shake Brees' hand after the game, but I just assumed it was because of the
mob of people, because he DID tip his hat to him and as far as I know, Brees
saw it.
As for Manning's press conference afterward, it was anything but classless.
In any case, the media didn't seem to harp on it, and that tells me it's a
non-story, because we all know that the media LOVES controversy and would
have jumped all over it if they felt Peyton was being a sore loser.
The only criticism I've ever heard him make about his team (other than what
Lionel mentioned) was about the offense (didn't do this, should have done
that, etc), but he's the leader of the offense! He's allowed to criticize
himself.

Frankly, he's always struck me as one of the classier guys in the league
right now. Leaps and bounds above Brady anyway.
