    Michael Strahan's NFL sack record<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With just 2:42 left in the fourth quarter of Strahan's final game of the 2001 regular season, the Green Bay Packers led the Giants 34-25. Packers quarterback Brett Favre called a running play, then tried a "naked bootleg" play by rolling out to Strahan's side without a blocker.</div> I watched that live and went, 'WTF was that!' :no1: Nykesha Sales, UConn career scoring record<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In 1998, University of Connecticut women's basketball star Nykesha Sales suffered an Achilles tendon injury that ended her senior season. She was one basket short of a new school scoring record of 2,178 points.So UConn coach Geno Auriemma conspired with Villanova coach Harry Peretta to allow Sales to score that basket. At the start of the game, Sales went onto the court wearing a cast and scored an uncontested layup to start the game.</div> :no1: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7042832...P&GT1=10239

    Sadaharu Oh's home run record is definitely the most tainted. He's a coach now and he tells his pitchers to intentionally walk anybody who is anywhere close to it. Is that on the list? I don't feel like clicking the link.And then Ricky Davis' triple double where he threw it off his own rim and grabbed it to get a rebound.Invalid Video Link

    rofl @ jerry sloan's reactionI guess no1 said the home run record that bonds will soon get. Alot of people really think he does it, and thats gonna be with him for the rest of his career.

    I remember Sloans comments after the game, he thought DeShawn should have floored his ass not just fouled him a little.as for that Article I have to disagree about Lance Armstrong. the French are just being babies over this, Armstrong has given samples every time and none have comeback positive, if he was cheating odds are that atleast one would come back bad.

    Isn't it funny how similar a "spur" is to an asterisk. Just an observation. [​IMG]

    I think the UConn girl thing isn't that big of a deal. Even if she had an Achilles tendon tear, she should still be capable of making one basket. So they conspired, whoop dee doo.And as for Lance Armstrong, I gotta disagree with you, Redneck. A lot of people think of him as an American hero, but what he did was just... insane. It's inhuman, basically. To say that because he didn't test positive (which is debateable in itself), he didn't take any performance enhancing drugs, is a little naive. Cycling is probably worse than baseball as far as taking drugs goes.Where is the Montreal Screwjob?!?!?

    I agree with Justice on the UConn one, she would have easily got it without the injury so why not do that out of respect. It isn't like it was 10 points, it was just a basket.

    Much more suspicious than Armstrong's streak IMO is Koch's 400m WR. Especially coming from where she did at the time she did. Also Roy Jones losing the Olympic gold when he dominated was bollox.I would add Leeds United losing the Cup Winners Cup final to AC Milan when the ref was later proved to be bogus.
