Usain Bolt had the distinction of being the undisputed fastest human ever to live in both the 100 and 200m for over a decade, and people still actually debate who was the greatest athlete of all time.
Michael Phelps has never won the 50 or 100 freestyle in any major competition ever, which would stake some claim to fastest swimmer in the world. Is he magically not the GOAT swimmer

Nebraska just keeps finding creative new ways to lose. Their special teams are atrocious.

The craziest disparity in stats is still the steelers/texans
In 2002, the expansion Texans played the Steelers (who would go on to win the AFC North).
Total Yards:
Houston - 47
Pittsburgh - 422
Time of Possession:
Houston - 20:19
Pittsburgh - 39:41
First Downs:
Houston - 3
Pittsburgh - 24
Passing Yards:
Houston - 10 (0.7 ypa)
Pittsburgh - 294
Rushing Yards:
Houston - 37 (1.4 ypc)
Pittsburgh - 128
Maybe one of the worst offensive performances in NFL history.
Final Score:
Houston 24
Pittsburgh 6

In 1980 all 5 AFC playoff teams, heading into the final weekend, had a chance to be the #1 seed but also could have missed the playoffs entirely.
Pats did.
They needed one team out of 5 to lose and they make the playoffs. They didn't. Every team team they needed to lose, won.
All 5 playoff teams in the AFC finished 11-5. Pats finished 10-6. In fact in one of the scenarios played out, the Pats could've been been the #1 seed.
Instead they missed the playoffs.

ETA: And here's a fun baseball stat from this year. On 5/4/2021, Huascar Ynoa hit a grand slam against the Nationals. He was the first Braves pitcher to hit a grand slam since Jaime Garcia on 7/21/2017.
On 7/24/2017, three days after hitting his grand slam, Jaime Garcia was traded from the Braves to the Twins for a 19 year old pitching prospect in A ball. That pitching prospect was Huascar Ynoa.

Ryan Blaney winning two separate races at the same track by .007 of a second is pretty wild
