Tom Brady said he “cringes” when he’s called the greatest of all time.
It’s true: Days after winning his sixth Super Bowl ring, the Patriots quarterback told Michael Strahan that he “doesn’t like” being called the GOAT.
“I don’t even like that! It makes me cringe,” he said earlier this year. “I wish you would say ‘you’re trash, you’re too old, you can’t get it done no more,’ and I would say ‘thank you very much. I’m going to prove you wrong.'”
While he might not like the nickname, many teammates, competitors, and Hall of Famers have expressed why he deserves the nod.
