With 12:44 left in the 3rd, Brett Favre just broke the record for most career fumbles.

I believe he now owns every record, and can retire in peace.

Favre is a dick. I am glad he is playing like shit. I feel bad for Min fans and Peterson. Min fucked up not picking up a QB in the off season, knowing Favre was going to do what he does. Childress needs to get fired also. He's a tool.

Not so fast.  He is closing in on Elway's record. 

What? I didn't see this amidst all the hoopla about his 500th TD ;)

Before people start commenting on my remark (without picking up on the sarcasm), Brian and I were texting during the game about how ESPN just kind of glossed over this stat...

If you're gonna have a special graphic, balloons dropping from the sky, and skywriters over the stadium for the 500th TD, you should have equal hoopla for breaking an all-time NFL record.

Just sayin'

For some odd reason, only "good" things are celebrated. Do you open a bottle of fine champagne and celebrate whenever someone dies? No? Well, by your logic, you should...

Just sayin'

Well... not a bottle of champagne.  But I have been to an Irish wake that was more of a party than a few weddings I have been too. 

******

Also this was an away game.  If I was the guy working the teleprompter/video board at Giants stadium, I would have glossed over the 500 TD and been making a huge deal of Moon's record being broken.

Wins?  I thought he had that.

Did Favre already get the sacks record?

Sacks. 
Elway 516
Favre 513

Damn it.

I hope, against all possible odds, that Favre gets sacked exactly 4 more times this season and finally retires.  Then, the best irony ever:

Favre would hold the record of "most sacked QB" by 1... the one that he laid down for when Strahan set the record for most sacks in a season.

I wonder if he'll lay down for #517 too.

That was one of the most disgusting plays I've ever seen it my life.  It made me so mad.

i recall that Peyton had called Tom when broke the TD record to congradulate him, but rice snubbed moss and quite a bit was made of rice's snub.

I wonder if on the same token, if Moon called Favre after the game?

Be cool if once Favre was one away if Elway and Strahan went to the next game so after the game they could come out onto the field and congradulate him in person. 

He is at 517.  And there is talk he might not play vs NE.

Looks like Dave Krieg's record is safe for now. 

Which record does Krieg have?

Total yards lost to sacks. 

^^ really?  I thought it was total # of times sacked...

Nope.  Elway had the total number of sacks which, Brett just broke.

Total yards....

1. Dave Krieg  3,794 
2. John Elway  3,785
3. Randall Cunningham  3,537 
4. Brett Favre 3,445   

No way Favre touches that.  He'd have to play for many more years.

Not "many" but won't break it this year.  His "best" was 247 yards (last year).  He is on pace for 259 this year.  He should pass Cunningham this year.  And could take this record next year.  (assuming he is still playing and there is no lockout)   

I'm too lazy this morning to look it up, but as someone who sat in the Kingdome and watched Dave Krieg a lot during his career, I'll bet he was way up on the "most career fumbles by QB" list as well... Krieg dropping back, getting sacked and coughing up the ball was a sickeningly regular occurrence.

153 career fumbles, placing him second third, behind only Favre at 164 and Warren Moon at 161. It should be noted that Favre does have almost 100 games more than Krieg, so in terms of fumbles per game for starting quarterbacks, he's probably way up there.

Worth watching.....

I don't know if he'll stay in the game long enough to get sacked 4 times.  It's entirely possible he'll either get pulled late (assuming he plays) or he'll be knocked out of the game.
