Legends from Different Sports!!!!!!!!!!

Sports brings with it pride, passion, determination, dedication and above all love for the game, and however hard I try but draw similarities between 2 Living legends though from different sports but identical in terms of their love, passion and achievements, well I am sure you must have realized I am talking about 2 Greats Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and Brett Favre.
They say "Age weakens your knees" but who cares if its Brett or Sachin, age surely has positive effect on them they have grown with age but their passion and love is as new and refreshing as of a youngster. How hard you try but cannot overlook the career stats.
A 40 year old vintage Favre has 277 NFL games to his credits and is the only players to beat all 16 playing NFL teams, and this cricketing legend has 430 ODIs and 159 test to his credits with the only player to have test centuries against all major cricketing playing nations.
Sachin has strike rate of 85.74 in ODis and Brett has 85.7 rate of scoring TD's.
An irreplaceable 472 TDs by Brett and 96 total no. of centuries by Sachin.
What do u feel or say when a 40 yr old Brett runs 50 yards after passing to block a defender or 36 yr old youngster running for a quick single like his life is on line.
Brett has passing yards of 65,964 and sachin has almost around 30, 000 runs(ODIs and tests).
People might argue that why do they still play and they might have their occasional game off but when you see Brett scoring a 50+ yard TD in final 7 secs of game or Sachin scoring a breathtaking century with some unimaginable shots you feel they just keep playing forever.
The world is witnessing 2 of the greats and their memories will live forever in hearts of people.
