Got more numbers than you can dial, maybe it’s because I’m so versatile. -Beastie Boys
Hold onto your hats sports fans. Here he comes. Here comes LaDainian Tomlinson. The One Man Touchdown Factory. Scoring them in bunches. In droves. A plethora of touchdowns. More touchdowns than you can shake a stick at. If that’s your idea of a good time. We all know he’s been tearing it up. But how good has he been? Well that’s what I’m here for. Let’s get to it, shall we? Sure we shall.
LT’s scored 98 touchdowns in 88 games. That’s a whole bunch. That’s better than 88 lines about forty-four women. Nails style. Jeanie had this nightclub walk… The record for fewest games to 100 TDs is 93. That’s how long it took Jim Brown All American and that dancin’ fool Emmitt Smith. Think our boy LT can score 2 in four games? You betcha. His 18 TDs over his first nine games this season is already a record. Jim Brown All American and Shaun Alexander had 17 over nine to start a season. Those juggernauts are now tied for second. The record for TDs to start a season through the first ten games is 19. Shaun Alexander again. LT needs one tonight to tie that one. Two to beat it.
We all know by now that LT has 15 TDs in his last five games. Right? We do, don’t we? Well he does. And that’s a record too. The old record was held by? You guessed it. Jim brown All American with 14. Now if LT gets a touchdown tonight, he not only ties Shaun Alexander’s record for TDs to start a season through the first ten games, oh no. If he gets one tonight, he’ll also break another of old Jim Brown’s records. And old Marshall Faulk’s. And old Priest Holmes. And old Jerry Rice. He’ll break for the record for most TDs in six games. All those old cats have 15. As does our boy. If LT keeps doing what he’s been doing. If he rambles for three more TDs tonight, he will be the first dude ever to run for three TDs in three straight games. Yowza! When you’re breaking records set by Jim Brown and Jerry Rice, you’re doing some things. Some very big things. Hall of Fame things. If this cat can stay healthy, lord knows what kind of numbers he’ll end up with. Now get a load of this. LT has 11,062 yards from scrimmage in his career. If he gets 275 more this year, he will set the record for the most in a player’s first six seasons. He will pass Eric Dickerson. The only other guy to have 11,000 yards from scrimmage in his first six years. Double yowza! So take your shoes off. Put your feet up. Buckle into Sunday Night Football. The new Monday Night Football. Sit back, relax, and watch some history being made. Some NFL history. Some LaDainian Tomlinson history.
Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!
PS: Celtics win three in a row. The Truth the most underrated player in the NBA. Ryan Gomes and Bassy excellent games. Kendrick Perkins a beast on the boards. Bring on the ‘Cats. Let’s make it four.
