It's not even the most prestigious in football.

Since the NFL is now Glorified Arena Football, Favre/Manning/Brady/Brees are shattering all the records and a new one gets set every other year. It's very watered down.

I think Eric Dickerson's rushing record is The One (at least for football), followed by Emmitt Smith's.

I agree with the rushing record being more prestigious. Passing stats have just become so inflated it's hard to take them serious anymore even tho the TD record is obviously a great accomplishment.

Sorry to say it because I love Manning, but this.

Dude is still one of the greatest sportsmen of all time (and arguably the greatest QB).

Remember those Manning vs. Brady debates? lols.

Everyone's glued to their sets when the rushing record gets seriously challenged.
