Tell him I said thanks for fucking up my fantasy team last year.

[Guest Redhawk]

Well, if you were depending on a rookie 2nd or 3rd WR to boost your fantasy team, that's your own fault.

[Guest Anglesault]

If he does it against the Yankees, Anglesault should broadcast his suicide over the internet.

It would never happen.

 

SOMEONE in the damn place should be able to hit him with a (car) battery before it ever gets that bad.

[Mik 0]

I knew someone was gonna say something like that.

 

I was in a 16 team league with 3 WR, 3 RB, two any offense.

 

So, not exactly my fault that I had him. I was overexaggerating when I said he ruined my season, but he dropped more balls than any wide reciever I've ever seen.

[Guest Redhawk]

An MLB or NBA team sweeping through the playoffs. Again, I know it's been done before, but will it ever happen again?

 

A 12-16 seed making it to the NCAA Final Four or to the final game.

 

Another NCAA team starting five freshman and making the tournament, a la the Fab Five.

[Dr. Tom 0]

I'd like to see a starter with a sub-2.00 ERA over a full season.

 

Pedro Martinez, 1997 & 2000.

Goddamnit, that was supposed to be a 1.00 ERA. I want to see if someone can be a little better than Bob Gibson.

When has an NBA team swept through to the title since the playoffs were expanded to 16 teams? Even the Bulls couldn't pull that trick off.

 

As for another Fab Five, I doubt many schools have donors rich enough to pay them money.

 

Just checking, officially, did ANY team Webber play for before he made the NBA actually win a game? I seem to remember all of them having to forfeit all of the games he played.

Dutch Leonard, 1914.

That's impressive even in the deadball era.

 

I'd like to see someone score 162 runs or more.

 

100 appearances. I think Mike Marshall is the only player to accomplish this.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Now back to the subject, if Culpepper can stay healthy for a full year and Randy Moss comes to play in about 75 percent of the games some passing and recieving records have a shot at falling this year.  With Marcus Robinson giving him another deep threat Culpepper will put up some huge numbers if everyone is healthy, and it will be alot harder to double team Moss every play with a good speed reciever across from him.

Don't forget about Nate Burleson. (Okay, I'm biased. I used to play Little League with him.)

Did you know Kevin Burleson?

Heck, I'm shocked nobody has really approached the 212 RBI record after all of these years.

-=Mike

[Vern Gagne 0]

It's a 192 rbi's by Hack Wilson of the Cubs in 1931.

[Guest MikeSC]

Er, uh, well, it's still not approaching the 212 RBI record that I made up out of nothing.

 

*runs away*

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Sometimes people forget that the early 1930s were a more prolifient run scoring era than today. The Cubs scored 998 runs, and didn't even lead the league. And its 191 RBI.

 

As for Marshall, the amazing thing is he pitched over 200 innings.

Seen him around at the gyms and stuff....didn't really know him personally.

I thought it was 190. Did an RBI get added to the record recently?

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Yes. Check out this article. The new RBI total was adopted in the 7th Edition of Total Baseball.

How can you not have seen Coming to America. One of the greatest comedies I have ever seen. Just the number of past and future stars who had supporting roles in that movie makes it worth watching today.

 

James Earl Jones, Eric Lasale( of E.R. fame), Samuel L. Jackson, Louie Anderson, Arsenio Hall, John Amos(Good Times and Die Hard 2), and the two old men from Trading Places that they broke in a great cameo as homeless men all have roles in that movie. Anyone over the age of ten must see COming to America before they die.

Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the movie as well.

 

Everyone talks about consecutive streaks and all, but 56 games ain't as hard to break as 30 games with at least one TD pass. That's one that will never be broken, in my opinion, and anyone who does will probably be the greatest quarterback ever. No, I'm not talking about Tom Brady.

 

Who said that they wanted high schoolers in professional football? That shi'ite's fucked up. It's not a record, and even if it were, why would you wanna see that? Keep it for guys that are least twenty.

It wouldn't be a record, per se, but it sure as hell would be a feat... and I want to see it done just to see it done. Same reason people climb Mt. Everest, I guess.

My bad.

 

I'd like to see at least 60 doubles. Todd Helton had 59 in 2000. The last two were Medwick, Gehringer both in 1936.

 

I don't really wanna see this, not an MLB record, it's still an AL record though. Roger Maris's single season AL HR record of 61. It's been passed by NL players 6 times. A-Rod was the closest with 57 in 2002.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Wow. It honestly never occured to me that Maris still holds the AL record.

(puts head down in shame)  I haven't seen Coming to America.  So, most likely was just played by a fiddle.  But it'll be a cold day in Hell before I ever sit through another Eddie Murphy movie that doesn't also show Jamie Lee Curtis topless.

I would like to know the name of said movie.

 

As far as teams sweeping through the playoffs, I don't know about baseball, but the Lakers only lost 1 game in the 2001 playoffs...swept all the way into the finals, lost game 1 to Philly, then won four more in a row. The 89 Lakers also swept into the finals but were swept themselves by the Pistons.

 

EDIT: I originally said 88 Lakers who actually beat the Pistons in 7.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

The only team to sweep the playoffs since the advent of divisional play is the 1976 Cincinnati Reds.

Trading Places

[Guest Museite]

In Football (soccer) I'd like to see Roy Keane / Patrick Vieira go through one season without getting sent off.

I forgot about Cuba getting the world's longest haircut. All while they are talking he never toughed his head. He is just opening and closing the scissors over and over.

I wanna see somebody try to approach the Major League triples record which is 36 triples, which was set by Owen "Chief" Wilson in 1912.

 

Nobody, even in the minors, has approached that record.

 

Billy Hamilton's run record was impressive since he scored 192 runs in 129 games.

 

Babe Ruth also had an extraordinary season in 1921, 177 runs.

 

The all time runs record is held by Tony Lazzeri who scored 202 runs in 1925 for Salt Lake City in the PCL.

 

The short list of baseball records

 

Runs:

Minors: 202 - Tony Lazzeri (1925)

Minors (non-PCL): 195 - Leo Najo (1925)

Majors: 192 - Billy Hamilton (1892)

 

Hits:

Minors: 325 - Paul Strand (1923)

Minors (non-PCL): 282 - Jay Kirke Sr. (1921)

Majors: 262 - Ichiro (2004)

 

Doubles:

Minors: 100 - Lyman Lamb (1924)

Majors: 67 - Earl Webb (1931)

 

Triples:

Majors: 36 - Owen Wilson (1912)

Minors: 32 - Jack Cross (1925)

 

Home Runs:

Majors: 73 - Barry Bonds (2001)

Minors: 72 - Joe Bauman (1954)

 

RBI:

Minors: 254 - Bob Crues (1948)

Majors: 191 - Hack Wilson (1930)

 

Stolen Bases:

Minors: 145 - Vince Coleman (1983)

Majors: 130 - Rickey Henderson (1982)

 

Walks:

Majors: 232 - Barry Bonds (2004)

 

Strikeouts (by a batter)

Majors: 195 - Adam Dunn (2004)

 

Strikeouts (by a pitcher):

Majors: 513 - Matt Kilroy (1886)

Minors: 465 - Grover Lowdermilk (1907)

Majors (recent): 373 - Nolan Ryan (1973)

 

I don't see anybody stealing 131 bases for a long time either.

 

Although Bonds walk record is completely insane too

Well one record mentioned here that someone wanted to see broken, it happened.

 

The single season passing TD record, broken not by Eli as predicted by the poster, but his brother, Peyton.

[Vern Gagne 0]

It's kind of funny, that after the Thanksgiving game. Not only was Manning, going to break the record, he would shatter it. Some people were saying he'd reach 60. Turns out, he only ended up beating it by 1 TD, granted he sat out pretty much all the last game, but still his pace dropped off signiciantly.

 

It's been done before, but i think it would help the league. An NHL player, scoring 50 goals in 50 games.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

In the NHL I would like to see if the following could be achieved:

 

1. A goaltender starts all 82 season games. He does not have to finish. This would be hard because of all the fatigue and stress it puts on the player. Lots of goaltenders play 60+ games.

 

2. 100 career shutouts by a goaltender. I believe Broduer is close to this.

 

3. Gretzky said scoring 50 goals in 29 or 39 games would be his hardest record to break. Maybe it can be broken by Crosby or what about Overchecking.
