Tom Brady is, arguably, the greatest quarterback of all time (personally, I would go with Joe Montana, which as a lifelong Bengal's fan, is saying something). But people keep referring to him with the acronym "GOAT". And in sports, along with life in general, "goat" has negative connotations - scapegoat, Judas goat, etc. Therefore, to celebrate Mr. Brady's signature achievements, I propose a new title to replace "Greatest Of All Time":
Tom Brady - "A Superior Sports Hero Of Legendary Excellence"
Let's see them make a negative-sounding acronym out of that.

Why does Terry Bradshaw always get ignored in these conversations?

One of the things I liked about Bradshaw, he would block. Put his head right in there. A football player first, a quarterback second.
The greatest? I guess the numbers tell.

Bradshaw was good, not great. He was on the greatest team of all time.

And Brady wasnt?
Brady wouldnt have survived half the hits Bradshaw took.

Roger Staubach was a good one. Perhaps the most successful player after sports.
