Coaches shaking hands after the game is as much a tradition as singing the national anthem before the game.

No excuse for not shaking hands after a regular season game. If you don't, its clearly an ego thing.

Holmgren is a classy guy.

What happens at the end of a Super Bowl is highly scripted by the network and the NFL, so what's routine in every other game -- coaches running across the field to shake hands -- is totally overwhelmed by the staging of the trophy presentation, the confetti, the media, cutting away for commercials, etc. etc.
