I had a conversation with friends a couple weeks ago when the first of Brett Favre's many injuries occured. The question arose, What is a better streak? Ripken or Favre? So I ask this great forum... Which is better? Ripkens 2,632 or Favre's 297? Give your opinion and reason.

The list looks like the new york city phone book
is playing shortstop dangerous ?
What pain did Ripken play through ? when did you see Ripken lying on the field and you thought "wow" he wont be in the lineup next game or maybe ever again
The current longest streak in the Major Leagues is Matt Kemp with 204 consecutive games. He would have to play 14.9 consecutive seasons starting this year to catch Ripken. Manning has to play six more seasons to catch Favre and thats not even counting if they change the format to 18 games! Just some food for thought
I think it's amazing that Favre never broke anything or was too severely injured to play and his streak is definitely impressive. Though I'm not sure continuing it was always in the best interest of his team. I think they both require incredibly tough individuals and a good amount of luck.
Both streaks are impressive....but favres is hands down more impressive in my opinion
im not a favre fan either
you realize you did start this thread asking peoples opinions and that is what you are getting deli . everyone is entitled right? You are obviously on the side of ripken and some others favre and lets face it no one can really answer this question - both amazing feats and will never be broken.
I never said he took the same amount of punishment as Favre. I didn't even say which streak I though was more impressive. You were just rather flippant when speaking of Ripken's streak as if anyone could do it.
