Joe Flacco was born in Westmont NJ, not Audubon.

Joe Flacco was born in Westmont NJ, a section of Haddon Township NJ. He was not born in Audubon as has been commonly reported. He went to high school in Audubon. His parents lived in the apartment complex located at (Redacted) at the time of his birth. Westmont uses the Collingswood post office. I lived a few blocks away and went to high school with his parents. My brother was in Steve Flacco's class. This is first hand information. 73.248.73.215 (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jets

It's not just a rumor that Flacco has signed with the Jets. What gives? Jericho735 (talk) 22:39, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jericho735: The Jets haven't confirmed the signing yet. See WP:RSBREAKING for how Wikipedia handles breaking news and WP:SPORTSTRANS for how the sports WikiProjects handle player transactions. Thanks! Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is reported on NFL.com, the official website of the National Football League. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jericho735 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jericho735: The article on NFL.com cites an anonymous source, and per WP:RSBREAKING, that isn't a reliable source. The NFL media arm is separate from the NFL organizations. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:30, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Information

The stats for Flacco’s 2020 and 2021 season are wrong 2600:100C:B05B:27E8:18C2:2EA:F8AE:EF07 (talk) 12:44, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology for "Stint"

"Stint" is often used on Wikipedia to refer to an athlete's time with a team and subsequent return to that team. It's not standardized language, and (while not wrong) there are better words to use. "Return" is one. "Return" is more modern, more common, more well known. "Return" is more appropriate and should be used rather than "stint".

Another alternative is that one could replace the word "stint" with the word "time" in most sentences, keep the same significance to the sentence, and have a slightly more accurate word.

[| stint Etymology Dictionary]

Another suggestion is "spell".

"Time" and "return" seem more common than "stint". "Time" seems distinct and simple, too.

"Colts"

When the Colts official website releases an article along the lines of "Colts sign QB Joe Flacco" OR if they makes a post on social media about Flacco.

Outside references like Sports Illustrated and the Associated Press (and even NFL.com) go by what reporters like Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter say, so we don't update player pages until the team that acquires them announces it themselves. HappyBoi3892 (talk) 18:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
