Would you hug Goodell?

I understand that getting into the NFL is an incredibly big deal, but do you really need to hug Goodell like he's the guy responsible for it, or the guy that will be looking out for you, or the guy who personally gives two ***** about you? If my kid was in that position I'd tell him to shake his hand and be done with it. I don't like that Goodell puts himself in a position to receive the outpouring of emotion that comes from finally realizing your NFL dream. It should be your coach, or your next coach, or your Mom, or someone other than Roger ******* Goodell.

Just my two cents.
 
No. I don't hug men under any circumstances.

I thought some of these guys were going to **** Goodell on stage.
life-long BFFs who just met.
 
I would rather hug Goodell than be interviewed by Dieon Sanders. Jesus!
 
Nah, but I would grab his shirt and ask is this considered holding
 
Emotional moment for all of these players. I see no reason why not to shake his hand or hug him.
 
The crowd made sure not to miss any booing every single time he came out lol.
 
if I get picked such that I am about to sign a contract worth $1m+/year, I'm hugging everyone in sight.
 
No. Hell no.

A handshake is sufficient.

The whole hugging thing has gotten way out of hand. And the "half-hearted hug" - where each person leans over and pats each other on the back - is ridiculous.

You hug a family member or a friend, or someone who's going or gone through a difficult time. And that's about it.
 
You're 21 years old and this is the best day of your life. Everyone you care about is proud of you, and watching you on TV. Every dream you had, every goal you worked for has come true.

You don't hate anyone that day. You hug the commissioner because that makes it all real to you.
 
Or don't hug him at all. Along the way to the podium, you kiss babies heads, sign womens boobs, autographs and then shake the Goofballs hand
