By comparing a guy to Superman, an Announcer is really saying he has to be at one hundred percent on ever single play, or people are going to hate the guy. That's not realistic for anybody, because in reality, no matter how close somebody tries to get, they're not going to be at one hundred percent even part of the time, since one hundred percent is perfect.
Announcers aren't doing a guy a favor by comparing him to Superman, and it sounds a little bit silly to most people over age 5.

A tough act to follow for any rising quarterback, absolutely, if another one does make it possible to follow (which isn't guaranteed).
Tom Brady certainly wasn't ready to fade away without the world knowing he has been a tough act to follow, both in his generation and the next.

People just like everyone else. If you listened too closely to the media, you would believe they are either bad people or heroes, when in reality they are often getting fucked over by some of the same people as the unarmed black guys getting killed by them, all to turn people against each other and make an inflammatory situation.
Cops are not bad guys and they're not superheroes either. They're just people, the way that George Floyd, Daunte Wright, or Breonna Taylor are just people too. They're not victims of a tragedy as the grief tragedy sympathy media industry would tell you, they were just people.

Someone to blame when things backfire in someone else's life. There is actually no idiot brother, just like there is no boogeyman.
