Random Stat of the Day: Peyton Manning's Career Sacks

The Random Stat of Day is just what it says it is, a very very random stat. But since I like stats and you like learning random useless things, it benefits both of us.


I'm always amazed by how little Peyton Manning gets sacked. Certainly some credit must go to his line and the Colts' protection schemes, but Manning knows how to get rid of the ball quickly and avoid blitzes. So I looked up just how many times he has been sacked in his career, 207 times, which is 1 less than Ben Roethlisburger who has played in 103 less games than Peyton has.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
