He actually tried to open up for reasonable questions, yet everybody here is jumping down his throat, smh

When was that asked?

I think this is Cam's version of "dabbing" while laying down....

I agree that it was a classic example of the media just prodding for a reaction...BUT...no doubt Cam could've displayed much better body language and actually communicated. I mean why give the hate brigade more ammo?
I don't dislike the guy, but his way over-the-top celebrating came to a crashing halt on the game's biggest stage, and he acted like a baby instead of taking it like a man.
Maybe he wins it all next season, and then we see happy Cam?

[Moviefan1203]

Cam certainly still has some growing up to do, but it does feel people are really piling on at this point. The point has been made, and he acted like a sore loser with a lot of immaturity, but let's see how he can grow from this humbling experience.

[MaCruz]

I did not like the way Cam handled himself during the postgame interview regardless what's circulating on what questions were being asked, but they have a bright future ahead and they will be around for a few years.

I'm just glad to see Peyton win one more. It's been a pleasure watching him play all these years torching the Jags twice a year as a Colt, the memorable moments breaking NFL records as a Bronco and to finally go out on top just like Elway.

Imagine a Peyton and his WR core from 2 years ago combined with their 2015 defense. That would be a scary team to play up against. Hats off to their defense.

Now you're being sore too. Nobody in that room asked him that or would ever ask him that.

[MaCruz]

New NFL Poll. We'll keep this poll open for 5 days and hopefully it's long enough before Peyton makes a decision.

We really need a thumbs down option for these type of posts.

He was not asked that. Stop spreading nonsense.

[ChadFL]

Have to say Cam handled the post-game presser well. I like how he was honest in his responses and didn't play the media's stupid little games. Losing a Super Bowl ugly has to be the worst thing in football and nobody on the losing end is going to be in a good mood. The majority of the media's questions were beyond idiotic and Cam answered them how they deserved to be answered.

Funny how the post-game presser is the biggest talking point of the media yet Peyton hawking beer (which he just happens to own distributorships in) is barely mentioned.

i don't seem to remember Manning, Brady, or Wilson acting like Newton after they lost the Super Bowl.

Because those guys give pre-planned, canned responses they don't sincerely mean. They pretend to be happy for the winners who just beat them when we all know they're lying. Nobody wants to lose and nobody wants to be grilled by the media after losing the biggest game of their career. If you want to hate him for being honest have at it. In reality I know if wouldn't have mattered what Cam said post-game, his critics would have bashing him either way. The hate towards him is mostly irrational to begin with and people were looking to be offended by him regardless of how he handled the loss.

it's called being the face of your franchise. if he can't handle the criticism.....maybe he's in the wrong line of work.

Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Wilson and others all know that.

Kaepernick and Newton both acted the same way after losing......just goes to show the maturity level of some players vs. others. cocky when they are winning, embarrassing when they lose. it's kind of pathetic to be honest.

personally i found it hilarious. cocky as all sh!t when he's winning and scoring touchdowns.....but when he gets his @$$ handed to him he turns into an 8 year old that just had his ball taken away.

there's your MVP......18 for 41 w/no TD's in the biggest game of the year.

i thought watching Manning lose another Super Bowl would've been the best outcome.....turns out i was wrong.

I believe they were the first Super Bowl champion ever with less than 200 yards of total offense. Just shows you how great Miller, Ware and Harris Jr really were all season long. Also proves that son of Bum is right where he belongs, as a DC and not a HC. Happy for DeMarcus Ware right now, a bit bittersweet but it is fitting that he would finally get his ring with another team after Jerry discarded him.

get ready for the next two Super Bowls coming to you from...
industrial Houston! and snowed out Minneapolis!

Do we really have to reward cities with Super Bowls just because they were dumb enough to build a stadium for a billionaire?

Once Inglewood comes onboard it should rotate between LA, Miami, Arizona, and New Orleans. (Although one in Seattle would be really interesting)

I think a Super Bowl in Minneapolis is a great idea, the elements have always been an integral part of the game. Houston is not a good idea, just not a good part of Texas to have a Super Bowl. Also New Orleans is right in hurricane territory so I would rule them out also. Have to keep the site rotating anyway to keep revenue up in different markets. Oh and on a note I was thinking last night, I hope Goddell gets fired before the next season, his tenure as commissioner has gotten rather irksome at this point.

Doesnt work that way - the more cities in the mix the more $$ they bid to host.

Seattle would totally suck cause of the rain risk.
