DO you realize that there are only 4 days before Pitchers and Catchers report to training camp...and only 7 days before position players report...and only 55 days until Opening Day!!!
YES...that means spring is close - screw the rodent - when the players take the field...spring is here!

Peyton Manning walked off the field at the end of the Super Bowl without shaking anyone's hand...he just lost the biggest game of the season...he was frustrated and disappointed...he wanted to get off the field before the major celebration took over...smart move? Probably not his best moment, but get over it.
If you want the handshake between competitors at the end of the championship game or series, then take a clue from hockey (dang, never ever thought I would say something like that!)...make it part of the ceremony.
At the end of each playoff series and the Stanley Cup series, the two teams line up and shake hands all the way down the line.
In baseball, the losing team moves to their dugout and can watch from there if they choose...many go right down the runway to the locker room...in basketball, the losers head off court and into the bowels of the arena and the sanctity of their locker room.
In football, there is that long walk - out in the open - to the ramp that takes you to your locker room, so you are more exposed for a longer period of time.
After most football games you see the coaches heading to the center of the field to talk and congratulate/offer works of encouragement. The players all walk onto the field and look for opponents who they know (maybe they played together in college or on another pro team, and there is always a group that takes a knee and says a prayer together.
The cameras caught Mr. Manning heading off the field like there was a plane to catch (well there probably was, but they would have waited for him).
What has not been said is that Manning called Drew Brees after the press conference to congratulate him and did stop and talk to some Saints players in the hallway outside the press room.
Peyton Manning is still one of the classiest football players today and has nothing to be ashamed about.

How to make a country stand up and notice...
Mention that Howard Stern is in negotiations to take over for Simon Cowell on American Idol - yes folks, a tiny blurb in the NY Post has now taken off with Stern himself fueling the fires by stating ""There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f---ing karaoke contest... It would be the best thing that happened to me... What a cush job -- $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"
OH yeah, sure the producers love hearing him call it a karaoke contest...
