Who holds the Major League record for most consecutive games played over the course of their entire career?

Sorry, I actually had missed seeing the answer and was waiting to hear someone say it.

Who holds the record for most touchdown passes in a season?

(Another easy one, but I'm testing the water so that I dont give any that are too hard)

I don't know exact number (without cheating!) but it's got to be

up there... say, 35, 40?

(Does my guess count?)

;)

Patsy Warnick · Post by **Patsy Warnick** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 8:16 am

close - actually 48 touch down passes

my husband said 48 for sure - possibly 51, without cheating.

Mr. Sports trivia.!! He played football with O.J.. When O.J. was respected.

Peyton Manning

Dan Marino held the record for 20 years with 48 until Peyton Manning broke it in 2004 with 49 TD passes thrown at the same time setting the highest passer rating in a single season with 121.1.

Ok "wise guy"...

We all know Jerry Rice holds the all time recieving yards over a career,....

but who's second?

I believe it used to be art monk but has harrison or holt taken over yet?

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:09 pm

Isn't James Lofton up there too?

Not yet.

YZGI wrote: Isn't James Lofton up there too?

Lofton is third I believe....actually i'm quite positive.

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:15 pm

Andre Reed?

Nice guess but no.

Not Chris Carter either.

I'll give you a hint....

he played for the Raiders for almost his entire career from '88 - '03.

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:25 pm

Tim Brown

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:25 pm

Thats funny cause Carter was my next guess.

I figured as much.

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:26 pm

Forgot all about Brown until you said raiders.

K.Snyder · Post by **K.Snyder** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:27 pm

YZGI wrote: Tim Brown

Yeah its Tim Brown...

Lets just say I think Jerry Rice's record will go unchanged for a long time....

He averaged over 75 yards receiving a game...

That's just unprecedented.

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:28 pm

Ive been in Fantasy Footbal since 1979, You would think I could remember Brown.:-5

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 1:28 pm

Holt has a chance he is only 28 or 29. Maybe even Harrison.

In our very first draft I drew the first draft choice. See if you can name who I drafted.

Hint. It was a runnung back, imagine that

Chad Johnson will break it....

Cincy's my favorite team so I'm sure I show to be biased....

At least its still realistic.
