In a moment as big as the seconds after the Super Bowl, everyone is in complete shock. So for Peyton Manning to be able to gather his thoughts enough to embrace Cam Newton the way he did in the mass frenzy is incredible.
Peyton has been on that losing side of the Super Bowl, walking off as the confetti falls for the other team, so I think he knew exactly what to say.
I’m just glad he didn’t turn this moment into an advertisement.
