More Impressive? Favre's Streak or Ripken's
Now that Favre looks like he will not continue on with his streak.. Nevermind which athlete hurt their team more by continuing their streak when they should have just taken a day or two off, but which do you think is more impressive?
Brett Favre - 291 Consecutive Starts over 18 years of service in NFL Cal Ripken - 2632 Consecutive Starts over 16 years of service in MLB Remember, football is a much more grueling sport as far as injuries are concerned, but the shear amount of games that a baseball player must participate needs to be considered.. |
Ripken, more chances to get hurt
I know you take more hits in Football, but Ripken had liners hit str8 at his head, no steroids to help boost his potential Ripken is the Iron Man Favre is going out like a punk, should have retired before the Jet Debacle |
Favre.
Incidentally, I was able to pull off about a 20-game streak in Little League, while I could only manage about a 16 gamer in HS football. |
Doug Jarvis with 964 consecutive NHL games?
A. C. Green with 1,192 consective NBA games? They are all super impressive. |
I go with Ripken, playing 162 games, plus whenever they made the playoffs seems like it would take more endurance. Keep in mind that Favre got himself hooked on the pills trying to cure the pain, so it's close, but Ripken gets it.

Ripkin.

Both suck. Favre threw the ball everytime he even thought anyone was close. Ripken, i am not sure who did and did not do roids anymore. All things being equal, prob Ripken.
|
Ripkin is more impressive since the NFL and their ridicules QB protection rules that treat them like queens

I didn't mean the players, i ment the streaks. For the reasons i gave. Gretzky never got hurt because he was a pussy. So was Favre. And Ripken, i can't trust any baseball player anymore. But if he was clean, def Ripken. |

Nobody remembers who had the streak before Favre, so I'll have to go with Ripken.

Yeah, the pressure of being a infielder is far greater then being a wuartervack in the nfl, how the whole offense rallies around you....yeah...and the collisions and you run play to play.......so grueling......
Are you people serious? |
