When Shall Peyton Break All of the Gunslinger's Records

So let's assume the Brett Favre is telling the truth and is actually retiring and is done for good. (I know that's a stretch but just play with the hypothetical with me for a little bit.) If this is the case how long must we wait before Peyton Manning eviscerates all of his records. Let us investigate.

Touchdown Passes Record (464)
Peyton Manning has thrown for 333 touchdowns thus far in his 11 seasons. That's an average of around 30 touchdowns a season. (464-333)/30 = 4.327 seasons which translates to the 6th game of his 5th season.

Passing Yardage Record (65127)
Peyton Manning has thrown for 45628 yards thus far in his 11 seasons. That's an average of around 4148 yards a season. (65127-45628)/4148 = 4.7 seasons which translates to the 12th game of his 5th season.

Wins As A Starting Quarterback (169)
Peyton Manning has won 117 games in his 11 seasons for an average of 10.636 games per season. (169-117)/10.636 = 4.8889. Throwing in the ratios that would leave probably 10 wins to accomplish in his 5th season which would likely come somewhere between weeks 14-16.

Passing Completions (5720)
Peyton Manning has thrown 3839 completions for an average of 349 per season. (5720-3839)/349 = 5.4 seasons which translates to the 7th game of his 6th season.

Ironman Streak (269)
Peyton Manning has started 176 consecutive games, obviously at 16 per clip. (269-176)/16 = 5.8125 seasons which translates to the 13th game of his 6th season.

Passing Attempts (9281)
Peyton Manning has thrown 5960 passes in his career for an average of 542 per season. (9281-5960)/542 = 6.12 seasons which translates to the 3rd game of his 7th season.

Interceptions (310)
Ha, this one is Favre's for a life time.

Awesome blog, stumbled upon it while searching for 'how to create a blog no one reads'. Unfortunately, all I came out of here with was 2 minutes of my life wasted. Go back to beating what little meat ya got to gay porn, Simon. Leave the sports to someone who wasn't tenderheaded by a big black dick while he was still in his mothers womb. Thats the only thing that could have possibly damaged your brain this much.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
