The San Francisco 49ers Detroit Lions Sunday nighter is one of the featured games on the week 2 NFL schedule. Not only are both teams expected to continue improving based on having made the playoffs last year for the first time in many seasons. But, what we have here is rematch of two head coaches who clearly do not like eachother based on what transpired with the famous handshake incident at the conclusion of last year’s 49er 25-19 road victory at Detroit.
49ers team owner Jed York was at a team rally yesterday and while giving a speech to get the fans worked up he took a little shot at Schwartz. Here is the video clip:
I know many people are going to view these comments as immature since both coaches will say it’s history and don’t even think about it. But, I don’t think so… Nothing wrong with the team owner taking a shot at their upcoming opponent. Plus, this was done in a very joking matter that could not be considered very serious.
At the end of the day I still believe society overreacted to what happened last year. I don’t care who you want to blame… It’s football players and coaches get emotional and caught up in the moment. Big deal sometimes they don’t demonstrate the most class on the field. If you were looking for class in the NFL maybe your expectations of the people involved with the sport is way to high.
