Guaranteed Human.

NFL Explained is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

All right.

I'd start off the episode by say, hey, beautiful people and do my best Michael Robinson impersonation.

But there was a huge, huge, epic mistake that I made in last week's episode. So I thought this week I would rectify it right off the top. Are you cool with that? Let's get it. What's up? I'm Mike Hamm. He's Michael Robinson. This is NFL Explained. You know, last week I didn't even introduce us. So what? People are tuning in to NFL Explained podcast when they were on their phone and they actually clicked the actual link. Come on, man, they knew what they were getting. Yeah, no, no, no, it's a good point. It's a good point. But I'd like to think I'm a professional. Although if you've been listening to this episode, that might be up for debate. this episode in particular comes from something that you said on a previous episode.

Okay.

Sometimes you say. this episode that might be up for debate. This episode in particular comes from something that you

said on a previous episode. Okay. Sometimes you say stuff and it just, you know, it just resonates

and we start dreaming about it and you got to remind me though because sometimes I forget,

like, like, alone. You did say something about like the moon and the some solar system reference.

That has nothing to do

with what i was about to get into it no no no no we're not going down that path uh the path

that we're going to go down is this idea that tom brady's not the goat okay pause sort of

kind of what you said i'm twisting it yeah okay i'm definitely twisting it this really, though, is about the quarterback and the greatest of all time. And we're going to lay things out for everyone. Talk about some statistics, some of the things that you saw, playing against some of these guys, playing with some of these players as well. But in all sincerity, I think a lot of people say Tom Brady is the goat. You think about all the

Super Bowls, and we'll get to DB12 here in just a minute. You had a different designation for him.

It's a goat, but it's the greatest of all time, not necessarily quarterback. You thought winner.

Winner. I mean, you just think about it, seven Super Bowls. I mean, I don't think if you think anybody's going to ever get close to that. That's a lot. And when you talk about the greatest of all time with a certain position, that's a more individual thing. Those Super Bowls is a team thing and it has a lot of different factors to us. So I can't wait to get into it. All right. We'll talk about Brady coming up in this episode, but we're knocking on the door. We got, we're in the postseason. We've got the Super Bowl around the corner. That's the money-making time, right? Like, that's the biggest stage on the planet. Everyone's watching. Is there a player that comes to mind that really cemented their legacy as a player because of what they did in that game?

I would have to say Eli Manning.

I mean, think about it.

I mean, if you take the Super Bowl runs, the playoff runs away from his career,

I'm not so sure we're thinking about Eli Manning as a Hall of Famer.
