The "hug"......embarrassing!!!!

I think that's how they do it in the billionaires/powerful men club. You see it all the time, in history even. Their allegiance is to money. They may hate each other but they need to use each other.

All i'm saying is the hug is not a personal thing. They are using each other for sure. It's a show. An act of unity makes them more money when sponsors see it. If there's instability, both of them lose out.

It's a good move ... old school move ... keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

That leaves more room to stick the dagger in when the opportunity arises.

BendOver Bob taught Jonathan well. I'm just glad he didn't volunteer to forfeit the remaining drafts picks during the hug.

Just playing devil's advocate here, based on no video and only two still pictures.

If you are Jonathan and Goodell unexpectedly steps towards you with open arms, about to hug you - in that split second, what do you do? Step backwards? Just leave your arms by your side and not give him even a little bit of a hug back? Sure, you can attempt to reach out for a handshake instead, but by then it is probably too late; he already has both his arms around your shoulders.

I know that I have been in that awkward position before when I felt compelled to respond to a hug, even though I would never consider initiating a hug with that other person.

It's a GREAT point. Where is the "self respect" with the Krafts?? Robert professes his love for Tom Brady, calls him a son, and then endorses the very man (and his NFL office cabal who ALL still have their jobs) who has gone over and above his past behaviors as Commish to smear that "son" and to hurt that HC and by extension the team on the field by taking away draft picks.
The Kraft's love their power and their money above all else.
Disgusting!!!!!
