Tom finally took some garbage time TDs (hey, it’s not like half of Brees’s aren’t some variation of that.). This puts him at 535 for his career, four short of Manning’s record. I guess unlike the massive festivities when Manning approached Favre’s record, this isn’t going to be an ESPN interactive amusement park for the entire year detailing every TD. Surprise there. What was laid out with a red carpet for King Manning is a back page blurb five years later.
But this seems like a good time take a step away from the current state of affairs and appreciate the last twenty years. I don’t think this record means a lot in the history of football..it’s just a counting record that is sure to be broken, if not by Brees immediately (if Brees doesn’t get there first, that is.). But still something that we can appreciate. Anytime Fivehead gets knocked down a notch, it’s a good thing, but especially when TB12 surpasses his crowning achievement.
