In the world of sports,amature teen sex videos there has been perhaps no handshake as hyped, speculated and anticipated as this.
That's because Roger Goodell's handshake with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Sunday meant so much more than just a simple congratulations. After New England pulled off one of the most epic comebacks in Super Bowl history, the NFL commissioner found Brady among the post-game media mob, offering his hand in a congratulatory gesture between the former adversaries.
That moment symbolized the official, long-awaited, undisputed end to football's biggest scandal, a storm that never seemed to pass. With one handshake, Goodell ended "Deflategate."
SEE ALSO: Early newspaper editions could not keep up with that legendary Super Bowl endingLong before the New England Patriots were basking in confetti for the second time in three years, they were soaked in critical media coverage and scrutiny. During the 2014-15 playoffs, the Patriots allegedly used under-inflated footballs to gain a competitive advantage. The scandal cast a shadow over New England's Super Bowl victory in 2015, led to a frenzy of media coverage, became the Internet's premium source of viral content, and — eventually — resulted in a full-on NFL investigation.
It's been dissected from every angle, discussed by anyone with a voice in sports. You can read more details on the case here and here, but this is why it matters today.
What began as a cheating investigation turned into somewhat of a power struggle between Goodell and Brady, along with a debate over the extent of Goodell's powers.
Many argued Goodell's handling of the case fulfilled a personal vendetta against Brady, rather than simply upholding the league's code of conduct. Skepticism over Goodell's personal involvement only grew when he handed Brady a four-game suspension and then — as probably the least neutral party on the matter — presided over Brady's appeal.
And so, the Goodell-Brady animosity began. Brady ripped the NFL for upholding his suspension.

Brady ended up serving that four-game suspension at the beginning of this season, hoping to put the whole thing in the past. But that Goodell-Patriots rivalry still felt palpable, and the fans backed Brady.

As New England emerged as a Super Bowl LI favorite, many started dreaming of a scenario where Goodell would have to don his best fake smile and hand Brady the Lombardi Trophy. Even ESPN labeled it "The season-long Tom Brady revenge tour," with Brady serving the suspension, then winning the Super Bowl and receiving a trophy from the man who suspended him.

As Super Bowl LI approached, Goodell said if New England won, it wouldn't be awkward to hand the trophy over to Brady.
"He's an extraordinary player, a great performer and a surefire Hall of Famer," the commissioner said, per AOL. "So it would be an honor."
Brady, in his best media poker face, also said things would be cordial.
“I have no animosity towards anybody. I’m a very loving person,” Brady told the NY Daily News. “I want to win for my family and I want to win for my teammates and my coaches and our fans.”
And then, of course, the Patriots won Super Bowl LI in epic fashion, setting up a moment two years in the making. Here's Goodell, who somewhat-abrasively slaps Brady on the arm and offers a handshake.
He appears to say, "Hey. That was awesome. Great football game."
And, later in the night, here's the other moment, the one neither Brady nor Goodell said would be awkward.
Spoiler: It's kinda awkward.

Neither look too happy to be standing by one another. But Brady got what he wanted — a fifth Super Bowl ring — and they both got to move on.
Now, at long last, maybe we can too.
But before we do, one more time, with feeling...
