The only record that Brett himself truly cares about is being the winningest QB to play the game. I believe at this time in his career, all he wants is to get to the superbowl and win it, not breaking records or playing for money. I also don't think he cares if Manning does end up breaking his records, Favre is all about winning and getting to the superbowl, not stats.

OK, let me rephrase.

The only two players who I BELIEVE when they say don't care about records are Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Sanders proved it when he up and quit right at his peak.

And I would put Brett in there with them.

Brett has said the records mean something to him. He specifically said the one that means the most to him is the consecutive start streak.

Four reasons Barry Sanders may be my favorite running back of all time.

1. On field abilities that made him the second-best RB of all time (after Jim Brown), and the best runner.
2. The way he behaved after he scored a TD.
3. The way he approached retirement.
4. The way he has moved on (and become invisible) after retirement.

The only reason he might not be: the rumor that he refused to play in GB if drafted.

This does not mean I'm right on this, but I've read many Barry Sanders books, articles, interviews and never has anything like that been remotely implied. He's too humble of a guy to say 'no' to a team. He was overjoyed that the was even selected at all.

that's why i said "might". I'm with you, zero. but i have heard the rumor, and more than once. and this was a time when, face it, GB was truly not a destination of preference.

but, again, my guess is that you are right.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (11h) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (11h) : BALL DON'T LIE

Zero2Cool (14h) : Mayo was the guy they groomed for HC and one of the reasons they let Bill go.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Pats have the #4 pick, lots of cap space and Maye at QB; should fetch some attention

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Well that didn't take long; Jerod Mayo out as Patriots HC

Zero2Cool (15h) : I would expect it to be higher in favor of Eagles

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Thst line seems...generous

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
