The streak ends at 297...Favre inactive

[MrBill]

It had to end sometime. It's the most impressive iron man streak in sports. Wonder if Peyton Manning can make it 6 more years without missing a start to reach 298?

@AdamSchefter Brett Favre is INACTIVE.

*waits for NFL to finish their investigation tomorrow and suspend Favre* :smh:

This has got to be up there with the hardest records to beat in sports.

The NFL front office is more worried about the owners meeting in Dallas on Wednesday night than they are some hoochie threatening a lawsuit.

There's also some twitter talk from MN that Favre might get put on IR since this is a 3 week injury just to pull the day to day media focus off of the injury. If that happens, there is not chance for suspension and I suspect that Sterger will just have to come out and sue Favre and the Jets in civil court if that's what she wants.

Christ I hope Buck and Aikman don't spend 3 hours sucking his dick tonight.

What's the odds Favre retires tomorrow?

What's the odds Favre retires tomorrow?

Zero. If he retires, he would forfeit his $1M per game salary. Getting placed on IR would guarantee the salary and is a more likely option.

This has got to be up there with the hardest records to beat in sports.

-Cy Young 511 wins. I'd be shocked if anyone gets within 100.

-Cy Young 749 complete games. Will never be broken or even remotely approached.

-Walter Johnson 110 shutouts. Warren Spahn came the closest in the last 50 years or so. He had 63.

-Johnny Vander Meer 2 consecutive no hitters. Nobody is throwing 3 in a row.

-Sam Crawford 309 triples. Of modern players, Stan Musial came the closest with 177. Active leader is Carl Crawford, who at 28 years of age would need to average nearly 20 triples per season and play until he is 40 to break the record. Crawford's career high is 19.

Not gonna argue with any of them. I doubt they'll be many get within 200 of Cy Young's win total.

More like the most stubborn and self-serving.

Putting him in for the first play is out of the question?

That would be a new low for Brett Favre if they put him in for one play, then took him out for the rest of the game.

lol true. But 20 years for now IF this record still stands people won't be thinking about him cheating a game. Especially people who weren't around to watch.

That would be worse than the time Favre laid down for gap-tooth Strahan to give him the sack record.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Putting him in for the first play is out of the question?

There were several road games during the Gehrig streak where Gehrig was sick/injured and lead off the top of the first inning. If he reached base he was immediately removed for a pinch runner, and if he made an out he was immediately removed in the bottom of the inning by a defensive replacement.

All of these iron man streaks are retarded and a product of ego/stubborness.

You must be disgusted by Cal Ripken then right?

And Ripkens record probably won't be broken... the current longest streak is 204 games.
