Late in the fourth quarter of last night’s game (which someone somewhere described as the Arizona Third Stringers vs the Dallas Practice Squad) when Michaels and Collinsworth had airtime to fill, they got to talking about Kaepernick. I was admittedly pretty drunk both with beer and self-loathing that I was watching…

That interpretation is entirely in keeping with your question. Perhaps be more detailed in your wording next time.

that’s... that’s not even close to what I asked

Sorry to hear that, I watched Goodwin play here in Buffalo for a few seasons. He never quite lived up to the expectations, plus he’s made of glass.

The (massive) difference being that the Seahawks were looking at Kaep as a (hopefully) low-cost backup option.

He, like most people doesn’t give a fuck about he Jets.

What makes your statement even more stupid is that despite the 49er’s roster being a complete dumpster fire, Kaep actually put up decent numbers and more importantly, didn’t turn the ball over.

Right, can’t shake up the juggernaut that is the Jets or Jags!

I too work in an office filled with women, and am a woman myself. I. Hate. The. Hug. Why can’t this just be the default greeting:

I think it’s a germ thing. Sensible.

you mean terrorist fist jab?

Didn’t he get shit for wearing a Miami Dolphins hat like, four years ago or something?

I will absolutely go for “the pound” Its a good middle ground and only usually reserved for people I kinda like so the handshake seems to formal, but don’t really know so I don’t feel that comfortable going with a hug. And its almost always less awkward than the average handshake.

Seems like it was the perfect gesture in the moment. I quite enjoy ‘the pound’ as a good in-between handshake and hug. My hug-friendly coworkers have found that I prefer not to be touched, the pound seems like a good substitute.

I do not like when people I do not have personal feelings for hug me, it creeps me right the fuck out.

Probably, considering his/her love for Pam the Funkstress (who is best known for being the DJ for the criminally slept-on, Oakland-based, hip-hop duo, The Coup [they got a brief moment of national attention when they had to replace the cover for an album that featured both Twin Towers exploding, before 9/11]).

As a white guy in his 50's, I don’t think I’d ever fist bumped anyone until I started a new job about five years ago. It’s constant fist bumping (or maybe high fives). Some people shake my hand, probably because they think it feels weird to fist bump someone who reminds them of their parents.

Are you from California? This sounds like a Californian thing.

I work in an office with all women and I am the only male. I handshake with all of them, definitely no hugs. but they hug each other. so..i don’t know

This is a fun/observant article. The hug/handshake dilemma is a weird one. Sometimes I want to hug a close male friend and I get looked at like I have two heads (as I am also a guy). Other times I would much rather shake the hand of a female acquaintance and my hand receives a glare that seems to suggest it’s coated…
