I'm Just Sayin'.......

(November Edition)

Things I’ve been thinking about:

 

• The only player in the top 20 in career batting average to play after the 1960’s is Tony Gwynn at 17^th with a .338 average.  The highest current player?  Joe Mauer, 40^th, .323

• Aaron Rodgers is unquestionably the best quarterback in the NFL in at least one category:  The Photobomb.   Proof: http://www.rodgersphotobomb.com/

• Most passing yards thru first 100 career games?  Tony Romo – 27,485
• Best career Quarterback Rating in the 4^th quarter?  Tony Romo – 102.1

• Tom Brady’s career playoff quarterback rating? 87.3
• Peyton Manning’s career playoff quarterback rating? 86.2
• A year after winning their division, Tom Brady suffered a season ending injury and the Patriots went 11-5.
• A year after winning their division, Peyton Manning suffered a season ending injury and the Colts went 2-14.

• The only active pitcher in the top 50 in career strikeouts is CC Sabathia.  If you doubled his total, he would still be 1000 K’s short of Nolan Ryan’s 5714 career total.

• The only player to ever win three consecutive NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards, is also the only player to ever lead the NBA in rebounding and blocks in two consecutive seasons, and is also the only player ever to lead the NBA in rebounding, blocks, and field goal percentage in the same year.  That player?   Dwight Howard

• Kobe Bryant will make 30.4 million for the 2013 season; or 51.8% of the 58.7 million salary cap.  Think that’s too much?
• In 1998, Michael Jordan made 33.1 million; or 123% of the 26.9 million salary cap.

• In 2013, the New York Yankees had 4 of the top 10 highest paid players in Major League Baseball.  Combined, these four make more than the entire roster of 16 MLB teams.

..........I'm just sayin'.
