Interesting Sports Facts and Statistics

The Eagles have been around since 1933.  That's 91 seasons (counting the current one.)

 

Out of the players with the most games played for the team, three of the top 10 are on the current team, including one who should set the all-time franchise record.  In the free-agency / salary-cap era, that's pretty amazing.

Yesterday, Royce Lewis homered in his first two postseason at bats, joining only Evan Longoria (who also played last night) and Gary Gaetti (also of the Twins).

Duke is hosting College Gameday tomorrow. Yes, the football College Gameday.

 

So as of Saturday, Cal, Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Virginia are the only Power 5 teams that have never hosted Gameday

I'm surprised Cal hasn't hosted for the Big Game (v. Stanford), seems like 2006 would have been the perfect year for them to host (co-Pac-10 champs, a win vs. #11 Oregon at Cal's Homecoming game, and a team that had DeSean Jackson and Marshawn Lynch on it)...

No chance 99% of those players knew who Dick Butkus was, let alone had any extra motivation.

 

While I never saw him play, he, along with Ham and Lambert were some of the guys who were legendary in my eyes and made me want to be a linebacker, before I realized I had no talent.

 

Unfortunately, the position they played doesn't even exist anymore.
