[MRT144]

what about wayne gretzky's most points all time?

he has 970 more points than the 2nd place person...that is absolutely insane.

Eventually the NHL is going to realize that Americans love scoring, and make the net 2' wider and 1' higher. Then the scores will be in the range of 40-35 every game

I win.

The 109 yard return of a missed field goal will never be broken.

ACK!

I don't think any of those are really out of reach. Specially not Sawchuk. The single season shutout record, maybe.

Cy Young is the most impossible option in the poll

You're on crack.

cool poll and thread. One of those will obviously be broken this season barring injury. Most TD's in a season.

The NFL ones look flimsy. though I'm more versed in NFL versus the other sports I don't know that much about as I don't follow them at all anymore. So I'm fairly certain most of those NFL records will fall. The Jim Brown one will be tough as it's hard to maintain #1 as a running back in this league with the competition, but it could happen.

NBA. Those wilt records seem impossible to break. Michael Jordon has came close in scoring. The scoring one could possibly be broken. But the rebounds? I voted for the boards, as most players concentrate more on scoring, so I doubt the rebound record will be broken.

That Cy young record looks pretty unbreakable. And I can see after I voted that most of you voted for that. Pitchers pitch less games than they used to I believe, so I can't see this one being broken. But I still voted 55 boards.

cal ripken's records is tough, but it's possible it could be broken.

UCLA and Petty's records will stand quite a while as well. I can't see them being broken in my lifetime. Too much competition these days.

I voted for the 2nd. Longest streak of throwing at least 1 touchdown pass per game: Johnny Unitas, 47 games

That Johnny U record doesn't look that strong. Who's #2 right now?

Brett Favre had 36 in a row between 2002-2004

Maybe it's not as easy record to beat as some of us thought.
I just looked up how Manning and Brady are doing.
Neither of them has been able to go an entire season with a touchdown pass in every game. (granted, both have thrown at least one in every game this year)

The best streak Brady has had to date is only 12 games.

So maybe this record is better than we think

No sport has been dominated as much by one player like Gretzky, ever. That deserves mentioning.

[Ming]

God... I have to agree with Asher

[Dis]

interesting about Johnny U's record. I figured Manning and/or Brady would be fairly close to that record. With such strong defenses in the NFL today it isn't easy for sure. Not to mention free agents. Looking at the Patriots offense right now, no one can stop them for an entire game. Colts did it for 3 quarters, couldn't go the whole way. The problem is with free agents they won't be able to maintain the recievers they have 4 years down the road. But if Randy Moss stays... who knows.

I'm trying to find more info on that rebound breaking game. All I can find is that he lost that game, despite all those boards.

Just shows that one man can't carry a team like that, you need an entire team to win. Another amazying record is he averaged over 50 points per game in an entire season! . There have been some rules changes since him, like widening of the lane. Which would make those records a little more hard to break.

He also went his entire career without fouling out of a game.

wow, I didn't realize what the final score of the game was. Holy cow! You just don't see high scoring games like that now days. I guess they had no defense back then.

If he gets that many rebounds it tells you nobody else on the team is rebounding worth @$^@...

Go ye Bruins!!!
