Well, let me tell you, this here football game, the NFL, it’s got some stories, I tell ya. Some things these fellas did, you just wouldn’t believe. They call ’em records, like them old music platters. But these here records, they ain’t ever gonna be broke. Nobody’s gonna do better, no sir.
Now, I ain’t no expert on this NFL, but I hear things. Folks talk, you know? And they talk about these fellas, these players, like they’re some kind of superheroes. And maybe they are, doin’ things us regular folks can only dream of. So these are NFL records that will never be broken.
First off, they talk about this fella, Emmitt Smith. Sounds like a good, strong name, don’t it? Well, this Emmitt, he ran with that ball. Ran and ran and ran. More than anybody, ever! They say he got 18,355 yards. And touchdowns? Land sakes, he had 164 of them! Now, you try runnin’ that far! You couldn’t! And nobody else gonna do it neither. That’s a record that’s gonna stand until the cows come home.
Then there’s this other thing, about winnin’. Now, winnin’ is important, ain’t it? Everybody wants to win. And some of these teams, they just keep on winnin’. Like these Green Bay Packers, they won the most games in NFL history, 800 of them. This is a big number. I can barely count that high, ha! This is a record, I reckon it’s like Emmitt’s – ain’t nobody gonna beat it.
But it ain’t just about how many times you win. They got this other way of keepin’ score, somethin’ called a “percentage.” Like, how much you win compared to how much you play. And the team that’s best at that, they say it’s the Dallas Cowboys. Their percentage is .576, whatever that means. They won 562 games, lost 413, and tied 6. That sounds like a lot of playin’, don’t it?
It’s like bakin’ a pie. You gotta have the right ingredients, and you gotta put ’em together just right. These teams, they got the right ingredients, I guess. They got good players, good coaches, maybe even a little bit of luck. And they put it all together to make somethin’ special, somethin’ that nobody else can match.
Now, on the other hand, there’s this team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They ain’t so good at winnin’. Their “percentage,” it’s only .406. That’s the lowest of all the teams. Poor fellas. But hey, somebody’s gotta be at the bottom, right? It’s like when you’re pickin’ berries. Some of ’em are just smaller than the others. But they’re still berries, and they still got their own kind of sweetness.
- Emmitt Smith’s rushing yards – 18,355! Can you imagine?
- Emmitt Smith’s touchdowns – 164! Lord have mercy!
- Green Bay Packers’ wins – 800! That’s a whole heap of wins.
- Dallas Cowboys’ winning percentage – .576! They sure know how to win.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ winning percentage – .406. Well, bless their hearts.
These NFL records, they’re like that old oak tree down by the creek. It’s been there forever, and it ain’t goin’ nowhere. These records been there a long time, and they ain’t gonna be broke. Not by nobody. These fellas, they did somethin’ special, somethin’ that’s gonna be remembered for a long, long time.
You know, it’s kinda like my grandma’s quilt. She stitched that thing together with her own two hands. Every patch got a story. These NFL records, they’re like patches on a quilt. Each one tells a story about a fella who did somethin’ amazing. And that quilt, it ain’t never gonna be duplicated. Just like these records, these unbreakable records.
So next time you hear folks talkin’ about the NFL, you remember these stories. Remember these fellas who did things nobody else could do. Remember these records that will never be broken. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll appreciate this football game a little bit more. It ain’t just about throwin’ a ball around. It’s about history. It’s about doin’ somethin’ special. It’s about makin’ your mark on the world. Just like these fellas did.
Well, I reckon that’s enough talk about football for one day. I got chores to do. But you remember what I said. These records, they’re here to stay. Just like that old oak tree. Just like my grandma’s quilt. They’re a part of history now, these are the NFL records that will never be broken. And ain’t nobody gonna change that, no sir.
