Steelers refusing to shake Brady's hand?

[stevedogc]

I heard this on WEEI the other day. It was quoted from a fax and then a 2nd one came in saying the same thing. Basically that Brady tried to shake the hands of the Steeler captains after the coin toss and they wouldn't do it. Apparently the Seahwks captains did shake his hand. Anyone else hear this? And can anyone confirm it? If true, a pretty classless move by the Steelers.

Next year is looking real good.​

Bulletin Board won't even be necessary.​

Too bad we won't get to play them this year, unless they get lucky again and make the playoffs because Kitna is the Bengals starter. There's two more easy wins for them.

I had alraedy posted this>>>

Anyone notice that first of all Brady gets Booooed by the home crowd of the squealers??
But then they really Diss Him by not shakeing his hand after the coin filp
looks to me like all the Seahawks did but all the sh##sburugh players walked away
Just goes to show how classless they are must be poor losers

Honestly I have nothing positive to say about the steelers other than they beat the Colts. Bettis and Ward I love as individuals, but the rest are a joke.

Well

Like i mentioned in another thread. I hope that the squealer fans and players are happy--because they just insured themselves of a front row seat on their couch next year watching the superbowl!

petty that (what a joke) they won...

and petty that they obtained a ring that they did not earned...

Just re-watched the coin toss last night and was looking to see if that was true but everyone was moving in different directions so there was certainly no organized line where everyone definitely shakes hands. In fact the head ref was kind of rushing each team to go to the other side and turn their backs to show which direction each team was going and that Pitt was kicking. He kept repeating "turn your backs" like 5 times while the players are trying to wish each other good luck and make their way. Pitt barely got their captains to the position and ran back to the sidelines quickly.

So from what you saw is there any truth to it?

That's exactly what I saw. There was no rhyme or reason to this calamity. A couple Seattle players quickly sought out Brady after they won the toss with the ref trying to usher them back off the field. I guess it makes for good drama here, but I don't think anyone was making a conscious effort to avoid each other.
