	Another great quiz, Ben. I missed the tennis ones because I'm an idiot and assumed they were male players.

	Oh, this was definitely one of my favourites. Good job! :D

	A little surprised less than half got Petty and Schumacher. It seems like those two are as synonymous with their sports as anyone and would be likely guesses for even the most casual fans.

	(Warning - spoilers) Great quiz, though I disagree on some. I think Armstrong's Tour de France record is VERY attainable (Miguel Indurain strung together 5 in the 90s). I think the younger age that NBA players are entering the league definitely threatens Jabbar's career points record. Most of the others are virtually impossible at this point.

	Fitz:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 17:47 GMT		13 points
	Good quiz, but the instructions ask for a player, not a team so it's a little odd to see the Bruins, Celtics and Canadiens inserted into the quiz.

	@Dynamite: Karl Malone came pretty close (only about 1500 points away) but played for almost 20 years. However, he was rarely injured - according to Wiki he missed 5 games in his first 13 years, that's virtually unheard of these days. I'm actually surprised the World Cup scoring record hasn't been broken yet.

	bsd987:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT		1 point
	along the lines of what Fitz said, since it's not just players, Celtics 11 rings should state player since Red Auerbach won 15 as a coach and executive.

	Watch out for Lewis Hamilton... however I think there would be competition in the future from Massa, Vettel, Kubica, Glock, Sutil etc

	Ryan Howard just might top that strikeout total when his career is done :-)

kubica and glock haven't got the right stuff. If you want my advice watch nelson piquet jr, he'll emulate his dad and piss alonso right off in the process. happy days

	Good quiz. One of my favorite sports trivia items is that Gordie Howe played in the NHL in 5 different decades - not sure an athlete in many other sports can claim that (well, probably golf).

	danzam:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:35 GMT		1 point
	In a couple decades when Tiger is done, they will have to add his record for career PGA tour victories, and Major Championship wins. He is sure to destroy Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus in those categories respectively.

	Minnie Minoso played baseball in 5 decades, but the last two were token, joke appearances. He tried to do it again in a 6th when he was 64 years old, but the commissioner nixed it.

	moegoldberg:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:39 GMT		11 points
	How "unbreakable" could a six month old record be? I'm sure if this quiz was made a year ago, you would have put Mark Spitz on this list.

	mllawing:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:39 GMT		-2 points
	People have started more games than Favre, just not qbs.

	Adam:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT		9 points
	Where is Connie Mack's all time managing wins? That record is nowhere close to being broken. Otherwise, good quiz.

	moegoldberg:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:44 GMT		-2 points
	If Chris Chelios plays next year, that will be 4 decades, he was just unlucky because he was born in a year ending with a '2'. He'll have to keep playing till he's 58 to play in 5 decades, whereas How was "only" 52 when he played in 1980. If you include junior hockey for Chelios, he has a chance at 5 decades.

	thedude:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 18:53 GMT		-1 points
	Habs should work for Montreal Canadiens.

	Big_B:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:03 GMT		5 points
	@Adam: Connie Mack has another record that will never be broken, most managerial losses. You get a lot of leeway when you own the team you manage.

	The favre on should most con qb starts not starts in general Because Jim Marshall has 302 and I kno he is a punter but Jeff feagles has more then that

	WAG:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:39 GMT		1 point
	C. Ronaldo had a fantastic year last year and only scored something like 30 in all comps. 60 goals in a season! Jesus!

	DrumBum88:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT		3 points
	And yet Pete Rose will never make it to the Hall of Fame. 'Tis a shame.

	Statto2:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT		4 points
	@sub - the World Cup scoring record looks pretty safe for a while to me. It's quite possible that a whole team could win the tournament having scored 13 goals in total! I think the usual number of goals for the top scorer in recent editions has been about 6.

	sox_fan1468927:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:50 GMT		-1 points
	I disagree with a few. I think Manning could eventually break Favre's consecutive starts record. The record they show includes playoff games and at this point Manning is at 191, so he would have to play for another 6+ more years, and with all the new rules to keep QBs from getting hurt, I'd say he could do it. Even though I hate him. I also think Kobe or Lebron could eventually break Kareem's record, but mainly because they both entered the league at 18, while Kareem entered at 22. Some that I would include are Rogers Hornsby's .424 batting average in 1924, the highest in the World Series era and Walter Johnson's 110 shutouts.

	I was suprised not to see Guerrouj's 3:43 mile up there...it's stood for almost 10 years, now.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:56 GMT		3 points
	Kamara, I may be misunderstanding your post, but Bannister doesn't have the record and every world class miler in the past 40 years has run under 4 minutes.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 19:57 GMT		-2 points
	OK, the post I was responding to just disappeared.

	Rom:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:06 GMT		2 points
	I think you should write team because I thought the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Celtics were supposed to be players.

	RunnDMC:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:16 GMT		1 point
	Loved the quiz. Got confused because I kept typing people and didn't try any teams, which in hindsight makes a lot more sense.

	sox_fan1468927:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:16 GMT		-1 points
	Kamara, that is a pretty good one since this is the longest the record has stood since the International Association of Athletic Federation started keeping track back in 1913.

	DirtyKash:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:18 GMT		0 points
	How about Ernie Schlegel's 824 career tournaments won on the PBA Tour? That record will never, ever be broken.

	TKlabz28:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:24 GMT		-1 points
	Having the years the records were set could've helped a little. still got 26/30. Great quiz.

	sox_fan1468927:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:31 GMT		3 points
	Some other ones, Johnny Unitas 47 straight games throwing a touchdown, Wilt Chamberlain averaging 50.4 points a game in a season, Chamberlain's 55 rebounds in a game, Oklahoma's 47 straight Division 1-A football wins, Nolan Ryan's 7 no-hitters.

	chikka2:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:35 GMT		1 point
	A real challenge, super quiz. Made me realize how little I know about specific non-North American sports

	antlyon:	Mar 25th, 2009 at 20:40 GMT		9 points
	Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double for the entire 61-62 season.
