The cameraman was in the way. But that's symptomatic of the entire idiocy with all this post game group hug stupidity. You've got all the players and coaching staff of both teams out there, plus a bunch of photographers, then with these conference championships you've got the league guys trying to setup the podium for the award handoff, easily 200 people out on the field and yet you think the opposing coach and QB should sit down in the middle of the field and some serious heart to heart abot the game. It's stupid, the whole midfield idiocy should end, unless there's an award to hand out everybody should get the hell off the field. Why is there a crowd obssesed with this metrosexual display of post game man love?! They're all in the league rolodex, if they want to talk after the game they can do it without you and I ever watching it, passing judgement on somebody for not wanting to hang out in the clusterf$%^ at midfield and swab tonsils is pathetic.

Somehow, virtually every other coach can manage this without being a jerk. Why is it Belichick who always acts like a twit, when other coaches (Tony Dungy springs to mind) can always act with class?

And, again, please stop the hyperbole. Nobody is angling for a group hug. But for pete's sake, when the opposing team's QB seeks him out for a handshake, it's the proper thing to do to shake that hand, and not carry on like a three-year-old.

Bill and Peyton will both be in Hawaii in three weeks, they can get together over rum drinks then and you'll never know it, of course that wouldn't stop you from saying stupid things about sportsmanship.

Speaking of saying stupid things....

Actually a lot of other coaches make a b-line for the tunnel and spend as little time in the midfield kumbaya as possible. Oddly enough that's one of the fairly common traits of the Parcells coaching tree, not a lot of huggers on that tree.

Again, when did public displays of affection become a necessary part of class? When did that memo come out? Tony is a hugger, Belichick isn't, some people are into that kind of stuff, some people aren't. I don't hear anybody in the league complaining, Belichick desciple Mangini public expressed disdain for the press when they started obsessing on whether or not Belichick hugged him after games, he understood Bill's not a big PDA kind of guy, what about that do you find difficult to grasp?

I'll stop with the hyperbole when you stop. Your complaints about this are 100% hyperbole... oops sorry I should say it's 1000% hyperbole so I can better keep up with you. Three year-old throw tempertantrums, kind of like you are, adults wh aren't into PDAs quietly leave, like Bill has done his entire career.

What was stupid about that? Will the two be together in Hawaii for the ProBowl? Yes. Is the ProBowl primarily a social affair where the players and coaches get together and relax? Yes. Will you hear about any time Bill and Peyton spend together? No. Wil you piss and moan incessantly about Bill's supposed poor sportsmanship long past then? All signs seem to indicate yes.

Stop trying to metrosexual football. So what if Bill doesn't want to wander around hugging people after games, how does that actually affect your life. Grow up and understand some people just aren't that affectionate in public.
