Was this handshake between Peyton Manning and Al Michaels awkward?

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was in the NBC broadcast booth during the season opener Thursday, and he shared a strange handshake with Al Michaels.

It's not the most awkward handshake we've ever seen, with both participants evading a true disaster due to their clear experience with human public interaction.

So was it awkward?

A couple notes before making your decision:

1. Michaels clearly wasn't looking for the handshake initially.
2. Peyton stares down Michaels' hand for way too long.
3. There is a pen resting in Michaels' hand at the time of shake.
4. The clasp is way off with Michaels needing to bring in an emergency second hand.
5. There's a slight verbal pause following the interaction.
