Good grief whenever the topic of sports records and which ones are the least likely to ever be broken. There is one record that is never mentioned, and it's a guarantee that this one will never be broken.
Set back in 1983 it's the NFL record for the longest run from scrimmage, 99 yards set by Tony Dorsett. It can be tied(which will probably never happen either) but it can never be broken, unless the NFL increases the size of the field. Did Dorsett tie someone when he made that run against the Vikings on Monday Night Football? From the line of scrimmage on that play, the tip of the ball was almost touching the goal line. By the way, the longest touchdown run by an NFL QB belongs to Kordell Stewart, who ran 80 yards for a score against the Panthers in, I think, 1996 or 1997.

Why hasn't Stephen Hendry's seven snooker World Championships been mentioned?  'Boy I don't understand a word you just said.' What don't you understand?

Nope, he is the only one to ever do it. If you ever see the replay of the run, watch the last 15-20 yards. It looks as though the Minnesota defender can easily knock him out of bounds, but Dorsett stays in bounds and sheds the defender. I became a Viking fan when I was 11 after the Cowboys fired Landry in 90. Don't know why, I just did. But I LOVE Tony Dorsett and seeing that replay is always very bittersweet for me.

Johnny Vander Meer's two consecutive no-hitters. To break this record, that would mean that someone would need to pitch THREE consecutive no-hitters.
In this day and age, getting a starter to COMPLETE three straight games would be an accomplishment !

I'm all for letting you head the BCS, Irish. Notre Dame will play the Yankees every yr! That's if you actually let them play instead of handing them the trophy in August!
