Sadly, the Detroit Lions lost on Sunday at Ford Field to the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 25-19. Like every other game the coaches shake hands at the end congratulating the winner. Jim Harbaugh, who is the 49ers coach, decided to shake Schwartz hand and give him a hard slap on the back. This is something you must see on video.
Schwartz took this to heart and confronted Harbaugh on his child like actions. Schwartz first gave him a dirty look then went over to Harbaugh to give him his two cents on his stupid immature actions. Schwartz was quoted saying the whole hand shake was a surprise to him since it was the end of the game and it was over.
The cool part to me is Schwartz started to chase Harbaugh as he tried to leave the field and go into the locker room. Schwartz doesn’t like being disrespected and that is setting a good example for his team. The only bad thing about this is Schwartz is going to have to sit his team down and explain to them that you cannot let your emotions get the best of you.
At the post-game press conferences, Harbaugh took all the blame for the incident. He acknowledges he slapped Schwartz too hard on the back and that it was disrespectful and he was just caught up in the moment of beating the Detroit Lions. It feels awesome to say, someone was actually that excited to beat the Detroit Lions. That is when you know the Lions are on the right track.
Overall the Detroit Lions played a decent game and they are making the right steps into becoming an elite NFL team. Hopefully this helps the Lions snap to reality so they can start preparing for the long run.
