Archie Manning won’t blast Cam Newton for walking off, since his son did something similar http://wp.me/p14QSB-9YZz
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Only difference is Archie's son doesn't doesn't act the fool on every play. Still was a poor thing on his part in that instance. I could even understand Cam acting as he did if he didn't endlessly say on the field "look at ME, look at ME, I DID something GOOD"!
There is a difference between an immediate reaction when the game ended, such as Manning walking off the field, and Newtons attitude long after the game ended, after players and media had left the field, after Newton had time to get out of uniform and into sweats, after he had an opportunity to collect his thoughts, check his attitude and go to the interview area.

True. But there is also a difference in honoring your opponent/sportsmanship and walking out on a group of media badgering you.
Badgering? It sounded like a few were feeding him the answers as part of their questions to help the guy out when he went into his shell.
Well maybe at first. Still Chris Harris JR was being interviewed feet away within earshot of Cam, and was asked about Denver's game plan.....which consisted of loading the box, man outside, and forcing cam to beat them with his arm. Now was it badgering? Maybe not. But I would bet they were more interested in getting a negative reaction from him than any insight.
Cam definitely could have handled the adversity better....I'm just pointing out that shunning your opponent is much more of a bitch move than shunning the media.
