Say hello to Lazerus.

Emmit Smith sits 93 yards from breaking the NFL's all time rushing mark, one of the most prestigious records in the NFL, probably the equivalent to Hank Arron's all time home run mark. You could argue that some of the quarterback records are as big, but since QB's have so many categories (passing yards, wins, completions, QB rating, TD passes, etc..) they generally get compared to pitching records in baseball. Love him or hate him, he is a "legendary" player, and true sports fans recognize greatness even in players they don't want to root for. I for one hate the Celtics with a passion, but will readily admit that Larry Bird, whom I spent many a night cursing as he sank jumper after jumper, was a truly special player.

For many of us this will be the second time we see this record fall, and a couple of you (OAS for one) will actually have seen hit broken for a third time. We as a sports generation are lucky enough to have seen some of the great players and great achievements in sports history. While setting a record does not automatically make a player the best ever at his position, as would be the case with Smith, (sure one of the best ever, but I can't see declaring him the greatest ever when Payton, Brown, and Sanders all have solid footing in that debate) it does ensure his place in history and bar room debates for years to come.

What are some of the other Great Achievements we have witnessed, legends we've watched, and players whose greatness is unquestioned even if they never held one of those "great" records?

I just got my "Play Test" version in the mail yesterday. I have nothing to report about it tonight, except I just installed and registered it and am now downloading an F'N 16MB patch. I just hope it's worth it.

Not sure if this has been discussed already, so suck it. I've played the first one on PC. The game was great. The graphics were very good and so was the storylines and how you played it. There was definatley so much more room for potential. I hear its out on PS2. I'm wondering if anybodys bought it or played it.
