Why do you think breaking nfl all time statistical records doesn’t come with the same fanfare as other sports?

Like when Hank Aaron beat Ruth’s record to become the all time home run leader it was a classic moment in sports. People at the time will tell you I remember what I was doing when that happened. Same thing when Lebron passed Kareem, or even now Ovechkin passing Gretzky in Goals scorer.

When nfl records of longevity are broken it’s kinda like

:manny: Especially compared to other sports.

I remember Emmitt breaking the rushing record being a big deal

I just watched Tom Brady breaking the passing record and yeah...it was trash :russ:


the refs got the spot wrong so they announced the record as he was calling the next play and they just moved on

Steph curry becoming the all time leader in 3’s was a bigger deal than that.

Because I dont believe people care about breaking the all time rushing record like they would the all time scoring record in the nba?
I don't care what you think

I'm telling you what I know

I watched Walter Payton break the record

I saw Kareem break the record

There was fanfare for BOTH equally

I'm older than you

Not like LeBron becoming the all time leading scorer.

It’s not close

Fans do not care about individual stat records in football like they do baseball or basketball.

Added games, massive rule changes, etc. Even the all time NHL goalie wins record isn't take seriously after adding the shootout.
