NS - What "graphic error" did ESPN just apologize for?

I was watching the halftime show of the jets game last night, and they showed a clip of Tom Brady's interview after his win.

The graphic under his mug? "has had 41 consecutive games with a TD completion".

The very next image on the screen was Brees after knocking off the failcons. Ya think there was any mention of his extending his record? Not a chance.

The talking heads hate us. Why? Because goodell hates us.

Why that is, I can only guess.

To be fair, I think they and everyone else gave Brees a lot of coverage and credit as he got close to and passed the record.

It was 52 year old record and before Brees and Brady the next two closest were 36 and 30 behind 47. Ironically, both Brees and Brady are at the same for the less important and publicized "uninterrupted games" streak, because Brees sat out the last game of 2009. Unitas had only 26 in one string without injury or skipped game.

If Brady's streak doesn't make it, I'd expect him becoming number 2 all time to be a big deal. TBH, long term it makes it more interesting as long as Brees stays ahead. It makes extending his record more noteworthy/relevant.
