When the NFL is full of cyborgs it’s going to be pretty hard even for Brady to stay in the GOAT conversation, Pat should be fine because of his alien DNA.

I started watching the NFL when a lineman weighing 300 pounds was considered a MASSIVE deal. The physical evolution of the players from the early eighties to today can not be understated. Weight training, nutrition, supplements -- everything has advanced by multiples. It's been fun to watch.
