BRONCOS Shred the Panthers in Super Bowl! 24 to 10!

I don't know about the product placement that you refer to. However, I do know that Peyton Manning owns Papa John's pizza franchises. If those were the products placed in his interview, that is free promotion opportunity.
If Manning retires after this victory I can't say I blame him. Prior to this Super Bowl there was the HGH "gate" pointing toward a potential Super Bowl QB. Last year it was the ridiculous deflate gate point toward a team QB.
Next year I look for another gate scandal to open against a team quarterback who's headed for that years Super Bowl.
Maybe all those are a promotion tactic to draw viewers to the controversy being society is being programmed to feed on drama via television programs well prior to any big sports event
And with the Manning's, Peyton would have to be pretty stupid to think using his wife's name to make the order is going to put him under the radar. Fans know his wifes name. It's like the Pap's that lurk at LAX hoping to see even the most obscure celebrity so they can get a picture. Those that should know a name do know. And the name of the wife of Peyton Manning getting an HGH delivery, even through the company itself, sets off bells.
The thing is, HGH is used by women to retard the aging process. HGH reduces lines, wrinkles. Helps prevent them if they've not yet appeared. HGH in some circles is considered a beauty maintenance supplement.
And as someone who knows a bit about what HGH (think Sylvester Stallone in "Bullet To The Head" , or , "The Expendables" franchise. That's HGH use in a man), and steroids, Peyton Manning's physique and face isn't an example of HGH use. But the stigma of potential unfair sportsmanship draws attention and people not a football fan before stand to tune in to see how it unfolds.
It's like the line in that recent Will Smith movie, Concussion. You're talking about a corporation that owns a day of the week!
I tend to think the NFL is in control of all of it. It's business and marketing.

My wife made me go see that movie because I played football and I "can't remember 'stuff'".

That's so cute. Are you married or can't you remember? 
I love football. However, it never occurred to me how much players sacrifice until I started hearing about the side effects of all those tackles.
Any Given Sunday, helped in starting people off on realizing how bad players suffer. And that was a movie but they still pointed out the concussion factors in the players/actors portrayals. At least that let fans know what their favorite players sacrifice for the game in real life.

Possibly. It was reported a couple of years ago that Manning owned shares in two Anheuser-Busch distributors in Louisiana. However it is unclear as to whether he still has any ownership interest in them.

You bring up an article from 2010 in an effort to defend the Incredible Sulk? Manning is and always has been the embodiment of dignity and class. What Newton did was childish and petty. If you are truly interested in equality then don't carve out exceptions when applying criticism.

"You bring up an article from 2010...", well of course I did. I bring up the same scenario with a losing player storming off the field and refusing to shake someone's hand, that losing player happens to be the one that won this year. Neither player should be attacked for their attitude about losing the game, those that call Manning's actions class and Newton's actions not are the ones with a double standard. Simple.

I think all professional sports take a huge toll on the body. To train at such a high level of performance over an extended period means brains, joints, muscles, etc. will be affected. I think that's one thing to consider when the media portrays players as whiny when they demand more pay or benefits. Not every player is a multimillionaire and what kind of care do they get after retirement?

Retirement aftercare is possibly something that's covered by the NFLPA. At least I'd hope there are care programs available after all that any player has given to the game.

I've seen too many videos of former football players that move around like they're 80 when they're in their 50s and it makes me think they need to do a better job. Similar to Veteran's Affairs, it's there, but always needs assessment to ensure the best care is being provided.

They are not the same scenario at all. Following the last second of a Super Bowl ticking from the clock the losing team vacates the field as quickly as possible in order to allow the winning team to celebrate. In fact here is what Manning said when asked about the incident:
"I certainly know how it was three years ago when we won. There's not much consolation for the guys who didn't win. There's the stage being set up and the celebration. It's time for the Saints to celebrate. It's their field."
The starting quarterbacks are not contractually obligated to meet at midfield and talk. They are however contractually obligated to give post-game press conferences, even if they are only of three minutes duration.
The like scenarios are displayed here. The first video of is of Peyton Manning answering one of the same questions Cam Newton was asked last Sunday, on this occasion following the Broncos' loss to Seattle two years ago. The dialogue begins at about the 2:30 mark, and notice how he actually answers the question with class, maturity, dignity, and respect:
From the same press conference when asked how he would deal with the loss Manning answered in like fashion:
Here is Cam Newton aka the Incredible Sulk giving his post-game press conference. Note the obvious difference in both attitude and approach:
Whether you want to admit it or not character is defined by how one conducts themselves under duress. The difference here is clear. Newton was the petulant child, the Man who would be King shown the Emperor has no Clothes. His Superman image was tarnished and he lacked the capacity to deal with it as only a man.
This interview is from one week prior to that Super Bowl, and clearly illustrates the flaw in your argument:
Everyone understands his feelings about losing the game. It isn't easy to be embarrassed, particularly in front of millions of people. The criticism was and continues to be leveled against the incredibly low-class nature of his response in expressing those feelings. My ten year old could have done a better job.

How is this classless?
Congratulating the quarterback of the opposing team:
As I said, all we're seeing is a double standard in order to sully the name of one player and not another.

Summer, I am so sorry for you that diversity lost the Super Bowl. There is always next year.
It was a shredding in context of the majority of the pre-game analysis and the fact Carolina was favored to win.

Actually Cam Newton's childish behavior during the press conference was less of an issue to me than his disrespectful behavior during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by Lady Gaga. He did not remove his cap as he should have and held his hands up to his neck instead of placing his right hand over his heart.. He showed no respect at all for our nation.

I got to be a (teeny tiny) part of the Super Bowl this year! It was the most magical and exhilarating experience of my life thus far. Dancers and other students from my college were invited to participate in the halftime show as the audience members surrounding the stage. Sorry to drop a brag bomb but I'm still floating with elation about it all, haha. It was just seriously amazing. That actual game was awesome, too. Go, Peyton!
