We all know Tom Brady is practically the uncontested GOAT. He set literally dozens of NFL records (more than 50) and is a living icon. What other quarterbacks played till the age of 44, and kept winning despite it? But of course, you need teammates to back you up for it, and who’d know that better than his own teammates?

It’s not easy being the best, or that’s what Jaylon Johnson says. “Clearly, I was one of the top guys on the team, so with that should have come a sense of respect,” Johnson says when talking about rookie training camp.

Michael Strahan’s had a long and fruitful career as a defensive lineman for the Giants, and an even longer one as a football analyst. So you’d think he’d have gotten pretty good at his job by now, no? Well, fans of the Indianapolis Colts are certainly of the opinion he’s got some learning to do, after he called Anthony Richardson an “innacurate” passer during the Lions game earlier today.

The Indianapolis Colts have had a strange dance with their quarterbacks this season. Anthony Richardson, in particular, has been an enigma. If you found yourself in the naysayers’ camp early on, you wouldn’t have been short of company. With the starting position going for Richardson to Flacco and back to Richardson, it looked like the Colts didn’t know what was going on. Well, with that most recent nail-biter of a Jets game, Richardson’s proven all the haters wrong.
