Are We Ruining the Sports Moment by Comparing Different Eras?

A lot of the talk leading up to Super Bowl 55 had to do with the star quarterbacks who were going up against each other. There were a ton of comparisons, and a lot of talk about the "GOAT." Could Patrick Mahomes catch Tom Brady? Could Brady win his 7th ring? These were just a couple of those kind of questions that were asked for two weeks before the big game, and related topics will surely be debated in the years ahead.
