But the guy goes to a completely different team and won the Super Bowl his first year there...at age 43...and looked fantastic while doing it. And even though he beat us, at least he won't be in the way of us making the Super Bowl anymore.
I'll celebrate when he retires as much as anyone, but at some point you just have to tip your cap and try to appreciate that how good he is. He's one of the few players in NFL history that are pretty much undisputed as the "goat".

Remember the "Goat" has also been marred by not just one, but two cheating scandals during his career. Whether and how much he had a hand in that is another story. Both times his team was caught and penalized by the league. Plus some of his rings are him being the beneficiary of phenomenal luck (hard to give him credit for that 10-7 shootout against the Rams).
