Just when we thought Handshakegate between Tom Brady and Nick Foles was over, the Buccaneers' social media team has kept it going.
Earlier this season, there was much hubbub over the fact that Brady didn't shake Foles’ hand following Tampa Bay's loss at Chicago on Oct. 8. It was the second time Brady had snubbed Foles in recent years, as they didn't shake hands after Brady's Patriots lost to Foles' Eagles in the Super Bowl in February 2018. That was a move that Brady had pulled with other quarterbacks as well, including the Giants' Eli Manning in the Super Bowl.
But the Bucs social media account decided to flaunt Brady’s sportsmanship following their win against the Raiders on Sunday by posting a picture of him shaking Derek Carr’s hand with the caption "QB respect."
Kyle Brandt of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” pointed out last week that Brady shook the hands of Aaron Rodgers after the Buccaneers beat the Packers. Brady also shook hands with the Saints' Drew Brees and the Chargers' Justin Herbert earlier this season prior to snubbing Foles.
Foles fans certainly didn't seem to take the Bucs' tweet well, judging by some of the replies.
Brady explained last week that “sometimes I run off the field, sometimes I haven’t” and isn’t sure why he didn’t shake Foles’ hand.
Meanwhile, Foles has laughed the whole ordeal.
“I’m sure that some day, Tom and I will have a great conversation about it and probably just laugh at it,” Foles said last week. “There’s obviously history there from the big game we played in once … It is what it is. I think he’s a tremendous player. Some day, we’ll have a good conversation.”
