2020-21 NFL Season

I'm losing a lot of respect for Brady as a person for the repeated handshake snubs when he loses. Dude is 40+ years old, has more SB rings than he can count, yet he pouts his way off the field without shaking hands with guys like Foles and Goff when he loses. Dude needs to grow up....

Cmon...

NFL postgame handshakes are like all postgame handshakes.  Dumb, unnecessary and a source of manufactured drama.

C'mon man, there is a pandemic.

Sure, but they are still procedure/protocol followed by most of the league and 99% of QBs and head coaches. If Brady eschewed it all together, fair enough, but he has no problem yukking it up after a win but vanishes when they lose. It's petulant

Yep. And he was quite happy to shake Rodgers' hand after they beat the Packers.

It'd be one thing if he always just walked off the field without handshakes, but he typically just does it when they lose.

Yeah none of this bothers me.

I'm not trying to recklessly speculate, but is Mike McCarthy ok?

Edit: The Cowboys strength and conditioning coach died. Prayers up to his family.

Yes, glad the reporting appears to have been wrong. Reading he is on life support, hoping he pulls through.

[Uncle Rico]

Press conferences, after game handshakes, none of that matters.

Agreed. Weird story with diehl posting RIP prematurely apparently. Hopefully he pulls through.

Correct.

It makes no more sense to play that before a sporting event than it does to play it before an opera, the ballet, a Broadway play, concerts, movies, or any other public gathering.

It's kinda silly but until people started obsessing over it, it was just harmless pageantry.

Steelers-Ravens game moved from Thursday night to sometime on Sunday due to Ravens COVID situation.

Dang. It had been the only T-Day game worth watching.

Crap. I thought there would be a back-up college game, but no...

Damn now what am I going to watch during my "I really shouldn't have ate or drank that much" phase.  (Which usually occurs just before my "Yeah I'll have another piece of pie and a couple fingers of bourbon" phase.)

So what makes this different than when the Packers and Niners played with a skeleton crew?

[ChuckyChip]

So what makes this different than when the Packers and Niners played with a skeleton crew?

Maybe the fact that there are two other games this Thursday.  Packers and Niners postponement would have meant no Thursday football.

[The Sultan]

So what makes this different than when the Packers and Niners played with a skeleton crew?

My understanding is that it's because Ravens players still tested positive today.

[GooooMarquette]

I'm not 'bothered' by it either, but it does show that Brady is a petulant loser.

You seem bothered.

[GooooMarquette]

You seem bothered.

Clear evidence that things are not always as they seem.

[wadesworld]

Must've learned it from Vander.

[tower912]

Patricia watch.

[MU82]

Is it just me, or are the Lions not very good?
