Ray Lewis declares Peyton Manning the GOAT over Tom Brady

Ray Lewis said Peyton Manning is the GOAT, picking him over Tom Brady. “He made me alter my game,” Lewis said of No. 18.

The Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady debate was a typical conversation from the 2000s through the midway point of the 2010s. Although Brady won the head-to-head matchup (11-6), Manning surpassed Brady in MVPs (5-3) while Brady far surpasses him in Super Bowls (seven to two).

Manning went 3-2 against Brady in the playoffs, including two AFC Championship games with the Denver Broncos.

In a recent interview with Rob Lepelstat of STAT Sports, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis declared Manning the GOAT (greatest of all time) at quarterback, choosing him over Brady.

“From a quarterback, and from student level of the game, he made me alter my game,” Lewis said of Manning. “He made me watch more film. And that’s what I call the greatest QB.”

Lewis, a Hall of Famer, faced both QBs throughout his career, but Manning’s well-known study habits and physical talent made him a nightmare for defenses and defensive coordinators. While Brady surpasses Manning in total stats and championships, it’s hard to knock Lewis and his take on why Manning is the greatest of all time.

The GOAT of every NFL franchise

We give our pick for the greatest player in the history of each NFL team.

When it comes to the NFL, the debate over the greatest of all time or the greatest at any given position can get heated. But what about the debate for the greatest player of each individual franchise? We decided to take a stab at just that. So with that, here are our picks for the GOAT of every NFL franchise.

Michael Vick says Chiefs HC Andy Reid might be the greatest coach of all time

Is #Chiefs HC Andy Reid the GOAT NFL coach? Mike Vick contemplated it recently on Tyreek Hill’s podcast:

Is Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid the greatest coach of all time? One of his former NFL quarterbacks considered his candidacy in a recent podcast appearance.

Former NFL QB Michael Vick recently appeared on former Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill’s “It Needed To Be Said” podcast, talking about a variety of topics. During a discussion about why the Atlanta Falcons didn’t win a Super Bowl during Vick’s tenure, Reid’s candidacy as the greatest NFL head coach of all time came up.

“I was actually thinking this year like, after Andy won the Super Bowl, he only got two, but he went to like four or five NFC Championship Games every year y’all was in the AFC Championship Game,” Vick said. “He might be the greatest coach of all time. You don’t have to win championships to be considered. You know, I understand Belichick and Brady and that whole dynamic. But coach [Reid] did it in Philly, and then he doing it in KC. I’m always shout out coach like I love that man to death; like for real literally I do anything for him.”

The longevity argument is certainly something to consider and that we’ll look at increasingly in the coming years. Reid has been able to find a level of coaching success with a number of different quarterbacks during multiple junctures of his career with multiple teams. He became the first NFL coach to win over 100 games with two different franchises this past season.

The raw numbers might favor New England Patriots HC Bill Belichick. Reid has coached 386 regular season games during his career with a 247-138-1 overall record. That’s good for fifth all-time in NFL history and about 50 wins shy of Belichick. Reid has coached 38 playoff games with a 22-16 record including two Super Bowl wins. Belichick has coached 44 playoff games with a 31-13 record, including six Super Bowl titles. As far as Super Bowl success is concerned, both Reid and Belichick have only won titles with a single quarterback, respectively.

Five-star recruit shares how long Nick Saban intends to coach for

Nick Saban intends to “Coach until he croaks.”

At 71 years of age, the question everyone in the college football world wants to know is how long Nick Saban will continue coaching. With seven national titles under his belt and virtually every record in the history of the Alabama football program, he has already earned the title of the greatest coach of all time.

However, Saban’s age certainly plays a part in recruiting as no kid wants to commit to the G.O.A.T. for him to retire in the midst of their college careers, but it doesn’t appear as if that day is coming anytime soon. Five-star wide receiver and Alabama commit, Ryan Williams, is a key piece in the Tide’s 2025 recruiting class and he shared that Nick Saban isn’t considering calling it quits yet. Williams is the No. 4 overall player in the country and keeping his commitment is essential.

Williams acknowledges that Saban is a monumental part of his commitment to Alabama and they have even discussed his retirement at points. Williams said to Bud Elliot of CBS Sports about Saban’s potential retirement, “We’ve talked about that, of course. But he said he’s going to be coaching until he croaks over.” That was all Williams needed to hear as he has been extremely committed to the Tide dating back to last fall.

This is great news for Alabama fans as this means the Tide will continue to compete for national titles for years to come with no worries of who is potential replacement will be one day.

Brandon Miller says that neither LeBron James or Michael Jordan is the GOAT

Brandon Miller has shocking answer to the NBA GOAT debate!

The NBA draft will officially get underway tomorrow evening at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on ESPN/ABC at 8 p.m. CT. Former Alabama basketball stand-out, [autotag]Brandon Miller[/autotag], is widely expected to be the second overall selection in the draft to the Charlotte Hornets as a report came out late last night stating that they had come to their decision.

Leading up to the draft this week, the top prospects have been meeting with the media. While speaking with reporters, Miller is asked if he thinks Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time. It’s a loaded question as the team that will likely select him, the Hornets, has been owned by Jordan since 2010. Miller didn’t let that change his opinion though.

Miller said in response to the GOAT debate, “I actually don’t think that LeBron is the GOAT of basketball. My GOAT of basketball is Paul George. I always grew up watching him.”

Paul George is arguably one of the best two way players in NBA history, but it is the first time I have ever heard anyone declare PG-13 as the GOAT. Ironically, George has been the leading NBA comparison for Miller throughout the draft process as they are both lengthy wings standing at about 6’9. Miller’s length will be a massive defensive asset in the league and shot nearly 40% from three in college.

LeBron James unsurprisingly believes he’s the NBA’s ‘GOAT’

Is LeBron James the GOAT?

LeBron James thinks that LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time.

In a deeply unsurprising development, James shared Tuesday that he feels he’s the best to ever hit a basketball court. His declaration comes ahead of him potentially breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record.

With the Los Angeles Lakers superstar about to make even more league history, it’s understandable he’d feel the way he does. Well, that, and declaring yourself the best-ever to do something confirms that, sometimes, we’re our biggest fans.

The pride of Akron will have plenty of celebrations coming his way once he passes Abdul-Jabbar’s record, but for now, he’s coronating himself The King.

Well, they say pride cometh before the fall, but the only thing falling in James’ path anytime soon is the all-time scoring record.

It’s going to be an eternal debate as to who the best basketball player of all time is. Some say James. Some say Abdul-Jabbar. Some go Michael Jordan. Some feel it’s Magic Johnson or Larry Bird. Some argue Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and Bill Russell. Some would even bring up Shaq.

We know how James feels about it.

WATCH: ESPN personality, Mad Dog, says Saban isn’t the greatest ever

Outrageous take from ESPN personality claims Saban isn’t greatest college football coach ever

When it comes to sports, everything is a debate. Michael Jordan or LeBron James? SEC or Big Ten? Someone will always have a different opinion. Except for who the greatest coach in college football history is. The average person will likely tell you it’s Nick Saban, by a comfortable margin. But don’t tell that to a certain TV personality over at ESPN.

ESPN analyst, Mad Dog, made the claim of the season when he said that Saban isn’t the greatest coach ever. In fact, his answer was Ara Parseghian, the legendary Notre Dame coach from 1964-1974.

During Parseghian’s tenure with the Irish, he was a remarkable 95-17-4 and won two national titles. While remarkable in his own regard, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what Saban has done during his tenure in Tuscaloosa.

Teacher learning why students call them the ‘GOAT’ is the best thing you’ll see today

When you learn what it means to be a GOAT >

By and large, “GOAT” is an acronym most closely associated with sports and hip hop debates. But since the proliferation of its use in the last couple decades, it’s not uncommon to hear people in other fields of work referred to as the GOAT — or the Greatest of All Time — at what they do.

We here at For The Win even celebrated sports legends with GOAT Week.

Sometimes it’s said in jest, and sometimes it’s completely from the heart. But hardly ever is it said without good intentions, which is why it was so cool to see a teacher’s reaction on Reddit after learning what it means to be called the GOAT by their students.

Why do my students call me a goat? from NoStupidQuestions

All of the edits to the teacher’s original post were after the teacher learned that not only was GOAT a compliment, but the ultimate compliment a teacher could receive, which might be my favorite part of the whole thing.

Without knowing whether GOAT was an insult or not, the teacher played along and apparently never lashed out, even calling the kids GOAT (which had to make them feel good).

It clearly made the teacher feel good if it brought them to tears.

Durante mucho tiempo, los fans de la NBA han tenido el debate sobre quién es el mejor jugador de todos los tiempo, o el GOAT: ¿LeBron James o Michael Jordan? En serio, es un debate que parece que no terminará nunca.

Bueno, pues el domingo en la noche, los dos fueron compañeros de equipo en el NBA All-Star Game en Cleveland, pues formaron parte del Equipo del 75 Aniversario de la NBA, que fue una celebración de los 75 mejores jugadores en la historia del juego.

Los dos grandes participaron en la celebración y verlo fue maravilloso, también compartieron un momento especial entre ellos, cuando se abrazaron y tuvieron una conversación breve que, por cierto, pagaríamos mucho dinero por escuchar porque ustedes saben que Jordan seguramente dijo algo asombroso.

Vean este gran momento entre las dos leyendas:

Traducción: Michael Jordan y LeBron comparten un momento especial en la Ceremonia #75NBA.
La grandeza.

 

¿Verdad que es genial?

Más tarde, LeBron ganó el Juego de las Estrellas con este tiro, lo que fue perfecto:

Traducción: LeBron James gana el partido #NBAAllStar para el equipo #TeamLeBron en Cleveland.

 

A los fans de la NBA les encantó el momento que LeBron compartió con Jordan:

Traducción: Esto es enorme. Jóvenes estrellas del basquetbol, vean este video. Dice miles de millones de palabras.

 

Traducción: ¡Esto es lo máximo!

 

Traducción: Amo tanto a estos dos GOATS, solo falta el tercer GOAT: QDEP Kobe.

 

Traducción: Necesito el audio por sé que MJ dijo alguna locura. LOL.

Kyle Hamilton declares LeBron winner over MJ in GOAT debate

Do you agree with Hamilton’s assessment?

Kyle Hamilton arguably is Notre Dame’s best defensive player. In 2020, the safety led the Irish with 63 tackles and was third on the team with six passes broken up. You can debate that distinction if you want, but for him, there’s no debate about who the best basketball player ever is. He’s declared himself the referee in the ring, and he’s raised the wrist of LeBron James:

Whether Hamilton said this to ruffle a few feathers or he actually believes it, there’s no question he’s opened up the can of worms that is the biggest argument in sports today. To be fair, Hamilton was born in 2001, so naturally, he’s going to go with the player whose career has taken place throughout his life. Sure, Michael Jordan was a Washington Wizard when Hamilton turned 2 years old, but it’s hard to believe he remembers that, and even if he did, that wasn’t prime MJ.

The debate rages on.
