When it comes to sports, there is no denying that there are some pretty incredible records and statistics out there. Some are impressive, some strange, and some are simply mind-blowing. But just because a certain statistic or record has come and gone doesn’t mean it isn’t worth looking back on. From football to Formula 1 driving, many different statistics exist to discover. We’ve brought together forty of our favorites, so you’ll have plenty to share next time you drink with the boys.
#1: Larry Fitzgerald
I’m no expert in the NFL, but I’d guess not every player can claim this to their name. Playing wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, you’d expect him to have a few more dropped catches than he would tackle – not even a part of his role as a receiver.
Maybe Fitzgerald was too good at his job, going above and beyond to be the best. It’s not a surprise for such an interesting character. Fitzgerald is also known for his friendship with Senator John McCain, investing in many businesses, and traveling to over 100 countries.
