Merge

We have James J. Roberts, James Roberts and Jim Roberts ~~and Jimmy Roberts~~, all (apparently) the same guy. Anyone want to do the merge? Anyone know what name he goes by most? The rest can redirect to that one. John (Jwy) 01:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not READ the article? James J. Roberts is a news journalist. Jimmy Roberts is a sports journalist, and they were both born in different years.

obviously not carefully enough. My apologies to Mr. Roberts. James. Jim. I mean. . . To the 'sports journalist.' I was having trouble keeping the names straight. John (Jwy) 22:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Jimmy Roberts/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Very weak information. More about his sister-in-law and his aging father than there is about Jimmy Roberts. The real question is "How did Jimmy Roberts get the spot on network sports where he gives commentary? What has he really done to warrant the role?" I would guess he is a special child of someone very well connected at the networks. The networks have given him this "centerstage type treatment" and even his bio here on Wiki tells us nothing about his accomplishments that garnered him a major network position. I don't know anyone who can tell you why we should care about what Jimmy Roberts has to say regarding sports, especially golf majors.Brackomatic 04:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
