Tomlinson sets the single-season points record last night, breaking Paul Hornung's 46-year-old record. But...Hornung wants an asterisk. NFL teams played 12 games in '60, and LT just broke the record in his 14th game of the season. Points-per-game, Hornung averaged 1.38 more than Tomlinson.
On the other hand...Hornung did just about everything for the Packers. I certainly can't remember LT kicking a ball. And since LT's going to freaking obliterate this record by the time the season's out, maybe Paul should just suck it up. He had a good run.
Maybe they should start letting LT drop kick PATs like Flutie did, letting him catch up to Hornung's average, killing that record, and just being freaking awesome all around.
