Curtis Martin and Barry Sanders are the only running backs to begin their NFL careers with 10 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.


Jack Butler played cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1951-59. 53 years after retiring from the sport, he was elected into the NFL HOF and delivered his acceptance speech at 84 years old.

Really raped an unranked team as the #1 team in the country by having to score the game winning basket with seconds remaining

That game was beyond embarrassing for Ben Simmons

#10 Charley Hennigan (1961)Who?

He had 82 receptions for 1,746 receiving yrs in 1961


And he held the record for most receiving yards in a season until Jerry Rice broke it in 1995, gaining 1,848 yards, and it took an effort of Rice accumulating in each of his last three games: 121, 289, 153 yards.

Hennigan accomplished his feat in only 14 games, averaging 124.7 receiving yards a game in 1961. That still ranks 2nd all time, behind only Wes Chandler's 129 YPG in strike-shortened 1982.

In fact...that above might be the most shocking all-time record stat for me, Top 2 dudes in receiving yards per game having accomplished those stats pre-1995.

Made his MLB debut in '42, didn't win his first game until 1946 because he won a bronze star fighting Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge.

Yet Warren Spahn, has more wins than any lefty in baseball history.

In 1963, at the age of 42, he lead the league with 22 complete games (2nd year in a row with 22)

After the age of 40 he threw more complete game shutouts (11) than all major league pitchers combined, last season (10)

Ichiro had over 3000 hits in MLB and didn’t start MLB until he was 27 years old.

Babe Ruth hit 714 HRs, and didn't start playing OF full-time until after he pitched in two World Series.

It might be time to take your arthritis medicine. 1980 was 45 years ago.

You said the 3pt shot has only been around 20-25 years. The 3pt line was added in the NBA in 1979, 45 seasons ago.

Now, if you meant that the 3 point shot only became a significant factor in the way the game is played in the last 20-25 years then maybe you should have said that.

Dick LeBeau, who was known as one of the great NFL Defensive coordinators and architect of the zone blitz, is in the top 10 in career interceptions with 62. When he retired from playing in 1972 he was in the #3 spot.

Fore reference that's 9 more than Deion Sanders and Ty Law, and 10 more than Champ Bailey.

I said the 3 point shot has really only been around for 20-25 years, which is correct. GREAT shooters were taking 2-4 a game until at least the mid 2000s

That’s exactly what I said, but I assumed you all knew how to read at above a 3rd grade level, and for that, Mingo regrets the error

Well, he’s in the hall of fame as a player and most everyone on that list played after him. Rod Woodson, Charles Woodson and Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott, Darren Sharper are all above him on the list.

Maybe he was just damn good.

Basically, a compiler,
He's one of the best pure point guards to ever play the game. Ninth in career assist per game at 8.69. He also averaged 6.3 rebounds a game. Don't think he played with another HOFer til New Jersey brought in Vince Carter during the 2004-2005 season, 13 years into Kidd's career.

He was ridiculously good. I had never really followed baseball all that much, But one night I was talking to a big RedSox fan and he was talking like he could best anyone on stats and who did what. Then he asked who had the most homeruns of the 70's and just coming out of my arse I said Stargell (296) ....he shut up and said, " man you know your stuff"

I didn't know shite. I took a stab.....because my next guess was going to be Pete Rose . All I remember was that when the Pirates won in 1979???? He was feared.

He was a great point guard. I'm talking about his rank among three-point shooters.
When you think of great 3-point shooters, Jason Kidd isn't the first, or second, guy you think of.
