wasnt sure so i checked


according to baseball reference.com he never dh'ed during the streak before or after he broke it

and for the most part he played complete games ( 9 innings ) ... after around the first 1000 games he started to have a sporadic few games where he'd come out early

then around 1500 the coming out early happened a lil more frequently but nothing huge


im not sure on the favre thing, i'll try to google it and see what i find

why isn't this Ripkin versus Jim Marshall, since Marshall started more consecutive football games than Favre?

Left game due to injury*

Result of his addiction to painkillers**

b/c jeff feagles broke the record

How's car accident an injury? To steal from the great Brian Regan "Hey I have car accident I'm in alot of pain"

that was for games played, not starts. Although I see Farve had more playoff starts? I am a little confused, but it says

He played in 282 consecutive games, a record since surpassed by Jeff Feagles. He still holds the record for documented consecutive starts with 270[1] although there is a question as to whether his consecutive starts streak is 270 or 282 due to a lack of documentation of his streak as a member of the Cleveland Browns.[2]

its up there b/c it almost ended his career before it began


On July 14 th, 1990, Favre was involved in a car accident that not only put his future career in jeopardy, but also his life. Doctors treated him for a concussion, lacerations, and cracked vertebrae, along with 30 inches of his small intestines that were removed following complications.

Miraculously, Favre returned to quarterback his Southern Miss team to an 8-4 record during his senior year with the Golden Eagles. Favre’s first game back was an upset victory over Alabama on September 8 th, just eight weeks after his accident.

yeh favre has 269 reg season
291 overall


marshall has 270 as a viking, played 12 games as a brown in 1960, i guess they cant confirm if he played/started in those

played in 19 playoff games, so if its 270 plus 19 he has 289 and favre has 2 more
if they ever include those other 12 he'll still have both records

I honestly had no clue. I thought he passed whomever ages ago (I thought it was a OL, too).

What a slacker.

Ripken's is pretty good but all of you arguing have no clue what football players to through every day, the NFL is a lot more stressing on your body than MLB, its why their careers are so short.

True, but both games deliver two different types of stress to ones body. There are so many games in baseball that players can afford to take a game off every now and then to recuperate.

In football the players need most of the week to recupe.

The fact that a baseball players career is longer and a player can sustain his streak seems more impressive to me.

i think most of us have an idea what football players go through not to mention travel and the stress that puts on a baseball player
btw how is that pitchers mound cheating research going you will be giving proof about that right

Well since you can basically take a night off by playing a little less aggressive and no one will notice, if farve did that they would talk about how shitty he has gotten.

Unless you have played then you have no idea, I only made it to varsity for a couple of seasons and baseball was a vacation compared to football, hell even basket ball was harder than baseball over a season.

I didnt really give a shit about the pitching mound but its nice to know it bothered you even though its obvious that they changed it to increase offensive out put. Oh well go argue in that thread.

Actually i played in college so i think i have a clue. And good comparison hs sports and pro sports
and the pitcher mound thing you made the claim not us you lost credibility not us

Im sure you did play in college, but just throwing the ball around with your frat brothers doesnt really count as playing in college. And it wasnt a comparison of the two levels, it was a comparison of a personal experience which is valid since they are the same level, I wasnt fucking comparing hs baseball and pro football you fucking moron.

Really, that made me lose credibilty? All of you were the ones making assumptions that people were juicing, doctoring the ball, and stealing the signs with zero actual proof. Fact remains that aaron doesnt have 3 positive tests but somehow just because some blogger writes it all of you want to accept it as truth and any other reasons are ignored.

I don't think either streak is impressive. To keep a spot on the field on days when you are not 100% is a burden on your team... it's seems so fucking selfish to not take a day off every once in a while just because it's important to set some sort of record, it's like the kid at school who maintains 100% attendance just so he can get his or her name announced at the end of the year.

Nobody is saying Aaron juiced for sure. Some of us simply think it's a possibility. There's really no reason he is totally above suspicion given that use of PED's in baseball can arguably go back 40-45 years.

I'm still curious as to which teams were gettin away with using 15 inch mounds 2-3 years after they were lowered.

I never said they didnt lower them, I said that they didnt completely enforce regulations but that is still rumor just a little bit stronger than that guys link about aaron using steroids. I could post stats of certain teams or ballparks but it really doesnt mean shit, just like his link, that guy is a moron. Oh and if you read espn it shows bonds is in a whole lot of trouble even if anderson doesnt testify.

Favre .............baseball players just stand there.

cal.

because his is absolutely unbreakable.

It's a ridiculous rumor. For one, it would benefit both teams playing, so it makes no sense for the home team to keep the mound higher since the visiting team could easily benefit from it just as much. And who even talks like the mounds were still 5 inches higher years after the fact? Where was this "rumor" ever discussed?

he's from earth 2 so excuse him if he hasnt caught up on our culture yet
