I’d love it if some Pats fans had some “Daniel 8:7” signs at the game.

Doesn’t that depend on whether you consider Brady to be the GOAT?

Heresy!!

But, seriously, performing at this level at more than 40 years of age combined with his body of work leaves little room to doubt he is the GOAT. And I hate the Pats.

I wonder what the original Aramaic acronym was?

Except that it doesn’t mention the GOAT, but the “goat” (i.e. what Charlie Brown was when he dropped a fly ball that cost his team the league championship).

Then again, considering Brady was the QB that lost Super Bowl XLII and the Patriot’s chance to be undefeated that season, maybe he was “the goat” at one point…
