How Does Rudd Stack Up?

Every sport has its own "Iron Man"--the athlete who's competed in the most consecutive games. Ricky Rudd holds this title in Nascar, having surpassed Mr. Excitement Terry Labonte some time ago. But how does he compare to the other iron men of sports? Lets take a look:

Nascar--Ricky Rudd, 788 consecutive starts
NBA--A.C. Green, 1,110 consecutive games
MLB--Cal Ripken, Jr., 2632 consecutive games
NFL--Jeff Feagles, 283 consecutive games (and counting)--no, seriously, Jeff Feagles

Biggest Success:
Rudd--1997 Brickyard 400 Winner
Green--2-time NBA Champion
Ripken--World Series Winner, 2-Time MVP
Feagles--Holds record for punts inside the 20-yard line

Also Known For:
Rudd--Taping his eyes open to start a race
Green--Abstaining from sex throughout his entire NBA career
Ripken--Saving baseball
Feagles--Whoring his number to Eli Manning, then Plaxico Burriss

Worst Career Moment:
Rudd--Pretty much everything after 2002
Green--When people realized that "A.C." didn't stand for anything
Ripken--0-21--AND IT WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED ON THIS SITE AGAIN!
Feagles--Signing with the Arizona Cardinals. Voluntarily.

Long-Standing Rumor:
Rudd--Was forced out at the Wood Bros.
Green--Was forced to end his streak on account of a chipped tooth
Ripken--The whole Costner thing
Feagles--Signed with the Eagles "just to mess with everyone's minds"

Person Most Likely to Break Their Streak:
Rudd--Jeff Gordon
Green--A cyborg alien (or, in other words, Sam Cassell)
Ripken--No one
Feagles--Brett Favre (who, in turn, will break the all-time interception mark)
