Brett Favre’s consecutive starts streak ends at 297 consecutive NFL regular season games.  The streak started in 1992.  George Bush was President of the U.S. (the father, not the son); I was in high school; The Silence of the Lambs won the Oscar for Best Picture; “Unforgettable” by Natalie Cole & Nat King Cole won the Grammy for record of the year; Johnny Carson retired from The Tonight Show, and Jay Leno took over (Favre outlasted him and Leno doesn’t get sacked every show!); and Tarvaris Jackson, the QB who started in place of Brett, was 9 years old.

Two drivers drove from NYC to California in 31 hours 59 minutes, breaking a record. That’s an average speed of about 87 miles per hour. No word yet from Burt Reynolds or Dom DeLuise.
