Anyone else notice the conspicuously brief and frosty handshake Vrabel gave Macdonald? Obviously he wasn't in the best of moods, and I don't blame him. But it came off, to me at least, with a twinge of attitude.

Noticed

Can’t imagine the emotions involved, hard to blame him I suppose

It was classless, but not surprising coming from that organization.

My first impression was that Vrabel just wanted to step aside and let Mac have the moment, but the more I see it, I see it as being unsportsmanlike behavior.

It cracks me up when people say Vrabel is such a genuine good guy, etc. He’s a spoiled crybaby and will wear out his stay in NE quickly. He’s two faced.

Yep him and McDaniels are both PoS, perfect for that organization

If I were standing in confetti with my opponents colors, I would want to get off the field fast too. He did enough to be polite. I'm sure Macdonald wanted to go congratulate his team anyway.

Same.

I'm going to give Vrabel the benefit of the doubt here (this time) and just chalk it up to him wanting to leave and MacDonald wanting to get this "sportsmanship handshake" thing over with so he can go celebrate.

He just got his knickers pulled down in front of a billion people.
He handled it better than I would've
Yeah I dont know how I would react after that game either. I hope I would be sportsmanlike , but I'd probably want to get the F outta there as quick as I could
