Re: Who has the safest career stat lead??
[ QUOTE ]
I wholely agree that that has a ton to do with it, but its also because we keep getting bigger and stronger and faster. I doubt the kid who runs the sub 4 minute mile in high school is more devoted than the guy who first broke it. I also doubt he has better nutrition. His training technique is better, but I think a HUGE part of it is just that we keep evolving. [/ QUOTE ] Evolution doesn't work that quickly -- selective breeding, sure, but not evolution, not over 4 or 5 generations. -d

Re: Who has the safest career stat lead??
What about some of Jerry' Rice's records:
257 consecutive games catching a pass Rice's 20,859 yards outdistance James Lofton, No. 2 on the career list, by 6,855. Rice is still going. Lofton's retired. Others: Total Touchdowns: 203 Receiving Touchdowns: 192 Receptions: 1,456 Receiving Yards: 21,598 Total Yards: 22,146 1,000 Yard Receiving Seasons: 14 Consecutive games with an NFL reception: 257 Receiving yards in a season: 1,848 in 1995 Receiving TDs in a season: 22 in just 12 games played in 1987 (avg 1 td per 3 catches, insanity!) Games with 100+ receiving yards: 73 Games with multiple TDs: 41 Consecutive NFL games with a touchdown: 13 Consecutive 50-Catch Seasons: 12 Postseason Records Receptions: 151 Receiving yards: 2,283 Receiving touchdowns: 22 100+ receiving yard games: 8 Consecutive games with a reception: 28 Consecutive 100+ yard games: 3 Total touchdowns: 22 Total postseason yards: 2,288 Super Bowl Records Career Receptions: 33 Career Receiving yards: 589 Career Receiving TDs: 8 Career Touchdowns: 8 Most receptions in a game: 11 (SB XXIII) Most receiving yards in a game: 215 (SB XXIII) Most receiving touchdowns in a game: 3 (SB XXIV and SB XXIX) Most touchdowns in a game: 3 (SB XXIV and SB XXIX) Most points: 48 Most points in a game: 18 Fastest TD scored in a game: 1 minute, 24 seconds (SB XXIV) Obviously some of these will be broken. But, total yards and catches plus his staggering 22 TD's in 12 games (on 66 catches) seems unbeatable. If someone says Moss for something other than the total TD record I will throw up in my mouth.

Ricky Henderson's stolen base record seems safe considering that nobody steals anymore.
