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

[Street Knowledge]

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

Especially compared to other sports.

The added game makes things less impressive tbh.

The All Time leading rusher record is the most prestigious record in the NFL and comes with fanfare

You must be very young

Oh you mean alltime records? Nah that’s still hype for sure. Season records? Ehh

A player surpassing Emmitts or Rice's records which are considered damn near unbreakable would absolutely be a massive story. No one cared about QB records like that because of how the passing game has drastically changed over time.

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


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

So if someone breaks that it’s gonna come with the same hype as LeBron breaking Kareem’s scoring record?

You don’t seriously believe that

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

Yes it will

What is wrong with you?

 

[Street Knowledge]

Yes it is.

What is wrong with you?

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.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Not like LeBron becoming the all time leading scorer.

It’s not close

Move along

You young and dumb

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