i'm going streaking

Being a sports fan, I'm inundated with streaks. The amount of streaks that are recorded is pretty ridiculous. Let me illustrate what I'm talking about. Within the last month, here are some streaks I've heard/read about while checking up on sports:

7: Consecutive games the New England Patriots have gone without turning the ball over. The old record was 4!

319: Passing attempts by Tom Brady withing throwing an interception. He just passed Bernie Kosar who had 308 for the Cleveland Browns.

297: Consecutive games Brett Favre started which ended a few weeks ago (thankfully).

25: Sidney Crosby just had this streak snapped last week. It was the number of consecutive games he had tallied a point. The record for this streak is 51 set by Wayne Gretzky.

This isn't even taking into account how often you might hear about a team's winning streak. I like streaks, but I only like records...even if they're only personal. For example, my longest streak for winning Spades on my cell phone is 35. Why would I know that, because I like record streaks! Let me give you some of my favorites:

56: Consecutive games Joe Dimaggio had a hit in the 1941 season.

21: Consecutive games won by the New England Patriots.

2632: Consecutive games played by Cal Ripken Jr. That's why they call him the Iron Man.

8: Consecutive championships won the the Boston Celtics in the 60s.

88: Consecutive games won by John Wooden's UCLA Men's Basketball club in the early 70s. This became news again recently when the UConn Women's Basketball team surpassed the number, bringing on the debate between the sexes.

What do all these streaks have to do with anything anyway? Well, I'm going streaking. Let me explain.

My record for most consecutive days posting a blog is 78. Now, I'm not crazy enough to believe that number comes close to the actual record which is undoubtedly ongoing. But, as I said, I like personal streaks. My goal is to surpass my record of 78! I hope you enjoying reading my blogs along the way!
