***sports lore and legendary stories***

I heard on the radio about the time barry sanders was late for his pro day and ran in jean shorts and borrowed shoes and still ran a 4.38

I love stories like that, post more. ....

 

Deion Sanders 40 yard dash in timberlands.

In the spring of 1987, still a true freshman, Sanders won both the 100- and 200-meter dash races at a track and field meet, despite having almost no time to prepare for the competition. That night, he started in the outfield for Florida State's baseball team.

 

"Who wants to sex Mutombo?"

 

What was his time though?

 

Jordan showing up to the stadium in front of the visiting team in his convertible smoking a cigar. Asks them how much are they going to lose by that night.

 

Wade Boggs told Charlie Day that he drank 107 beers in one day

4.18 or 4.2.

 

I'd believe 38 at the most

 

iirc Dennis Rodman went out and locked down Karl Malone in a 1998 NBA Finals game in Utah on zero sleep after spending the entire previous night at a Vegas casino

 

107 is over 10 gallons of beer. I call bullshit.

 

Andre the giant and his drink of choice the American concoction of 40 ounces of various alcohol

 

There was a thread like this a little while back, and I remember thinking that a certain story came pretty damn close to equaling the "Who wants to sex Mutombo?" story for me. I cannot remember wtf it was though

 

thats like every other night for MJ. He was seen at a casino a day before ECF game vs the knicks.

 

Gaylord "focker" Perry (a pitcher) was asked if he could ever hit a home run he said they'd put a man on the moon before he hit one. The day after Neil Armstrong was on the moon focker hit a home run.

 

True but my guess is that a competitive adrenaline high fueled MJ's casino binges whereas another chemical might've been involved in Rodman's. fwiw I literally partied with Rodman for 5 straight nights at the Hollywood Hard Rock in the summer of '08 and natural adrenaline wasn't necessarily his drug of choice

 

Andre drunk 117 cans in one night.

 

Pro wrasslin stats are as legit as it gets

 

119 in 6 hours actually.

My God, why do people not know that "begs the question" does not mean "raises the question"?

Question begging is a type of fallacy whereby you assume the conclusion as a premise of your argument.

Wade Boggs totally drank 107 beers.
