Every sport has one single athlete it identifies as the face of their sport. Baseball has Babe Ruth. Basketball has Michael Jordan. Soccer has Pele. Following his fifth Super Bowl title, Colin thinks that Tom Brady is now the face of the NFL, and he’s officially the G.O.A.T. of NFL quarterbacks.
Sunday was Tom’s signature game of his career. The debate is over.
“From this point forward, if you say football, I think Tom Brady.”
The news of the Atlanta Falcons hiring Steve Sarkisian away from Alabama to replace Kyle Shanahan as offensive coordinator broke as Colin opened his show today. The news stunned those around the NFL who didn’t see Sarkisian as being on the NFL coaching radar, but Colin sees the unconventional move as a good hire.
Sark has battled personal demons, but Colin thinks it’s a good hire for Atlanta. Sarkisian has shown, time and time again, that he can coach. He should keep Atlanta’s offense rolling.
“I think Steve Sarkisian, actually will be a very good coordinator in the NFL for several years, and will eventually get a head coaching job in the NFL.”
LeBron James and Tom Brady are uniquely positioned as the top players in their respective sports. Today, Colin went through a list of things the two have in common, and it’s surprising how much their careers mirror each other.
Both have had unprecedented runs and historical levels of dominance in their conference and both brought their team its first title, to name a few.
“LeBron and Brady have a ton in common.”
