Maybe Tom isn’t so terrific after all? The Chicago Bears beat the Bucs on Thursday Night Football back in Week 5, marking another win for Nick Foles over Tom Brady. Brady once again refused to shake Foles’ hand after he lost.

Foles was left looking around to shake Brady’s hand, as quarterbacks across the league do after games, and as Brady does constantly with opposing quarterbacks.

On Thursday, after Brady shook hands with Aaron Rodgers following a Tampa Bay win in Week 6, the legendary QB was asked about why he avoided Foles:

“I think Nick Foles is a hell of a player, Super Bowl champ,” Tom Brady said while adding there was nothing intentional about not shaking Foles’ hand after the Bears game. He said sometimes he runs off the field right away, depending on whether he has relationships w/ opponents.

#GoBucs QB Tom Brady says of not shaking hands with #Bears QB Nick Foles: "I don't think it's anything in particular except I have great admiration for Nick and he's off to a helluva start.'' Says he knows Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers better.

Tom Brady, asked about not shaking hands postgame with Nick Foles after Bears game: "I didn't even think about that. I think Nick Foles is a hell of a player, Super Bowl champ."

Apparently Tom has no relationship with Foles. I always thought showing good sportsmanship had nothing to do with relationships. Tom needs to understand frienship has nothing to do with doing the right thing.

Poor sport.
