Pat White

Hey whats up? I didnt get to watch the game. But what happened to Pat White? I heard he got a helmet to helmet hit. Was it that bad? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stealthninja545 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Jake Long GA

This user helped promote Jake Long to good article status.

Thanks for your involvement in the development of Jake Long which has become a WP:GA in recent months.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:09, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know which team is more of a blank slate, looking at their rosters now: STL or KC. If KC trades Bowe and/or Dorsey, I think they'll take the cake, although at least they have a QB. Pats1 ^T/C 00:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Haha.

Also, you have my sympathies on Wes Welker and his torn vagina. Good thing he's the most replaceable player in football.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 00:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

We haven't talked about him in a while, but somehow I knew you were going to say that. Pats1 ^T/C 00:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Serves the cocky little bitch right. Miami has three receivers that can do what he does in New England (obviously Ginn not being one of them). Mike Furrey's done what he does. Julian Edelman, a rookie college QB, can do what he does. The love for him is ridiculous. It's David Eckstein syndrome - the media and fan obsession with scrappy, little, trie-hard white guys.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 00:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

There's some truth there. Some media members around here feel the same way. Others gush. Never like to see an injury like that though... Pats1 ^T/C 02:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

What are you guys doing at OLB this offseason? Pats1 ^T/C 03:00, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? What do I think Miami does? I think Anderson and Wake (especially Wake) obviously stick as situation pass-rushers. I believe Porter could be cut due to high salary, age and one-dimensional play (sucks against run). JT was very good in all facets and I'd love another one-year deal similar to this one, and I don't see why Miami wouldn't do it. We obviously need another young guy to develop if Wake's not going to be well-rounded enough to start full time (sucks in coverage) so I'd expect an OLB in the draft within first three rounds.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 04:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, Pats will also focus on that. Thomas will be out the door ASAP, and Burgess and Woods probably won't be back. They extended TBC and Ninkovich; TBC will start at OLB, but they still need another guy, or even two, at OLB. Sounds like they may trade for someone, or draft someone early. WR was a need before this weekend (Galloway flopped, so they had no #3 WR), and it will obviously be a bigger need now. Someone also said the Pats like Spiller, but it would be tough to get him. They'll probably do some tweaking at RB - Maroney may be gone. Pats1 ^T/C 16:33, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Spiller is more of a luxury pick than a RB solution. I could see a team like the Giants or Steelers getting him - a team without a big list of glaring needs. Spiller might end up being Reggie Bush 2.0 - good receiver, returner, situational back, but not a feature guy.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Giants and Steelers are not really in to splashy guys, there too old school. Run/pass block, harding runing and not comiting stupid plays. Ositadinma 21:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The Giants have 5 RBs so I'm not so sure they'd get another one.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

My point was just that the Giants don't have many glaring weaknesses and are pretty sound at every position (despite their recent troubles).

Also, the Giants may have five backs (like most teams do in the offseason) but only two are worth anything right now and one of those guys (Jacobs) had a very sub-par year.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

That may be all the Pats need though. Not that they have anything special at RB, but once you mix in Morris and Taylor, you have a nice group there. Faulk too. Pats1 ^T/C 23:08, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, probably one of the worst groups in the league. Not a legit starter in the bunch. Though neither is Spiller. Morris is better suited as a backup, and so is Taylor at this point in his career (which I'm sure won't last much longer as RBs in his position fade FAST). Not saying it can't work that way, with just a bunch of decent guys that can do different things, but just saying the Pats don't have a legit No. 1.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 23:10, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Most teams don't. RB by committee seems to be the trend now. Pats1 ^T/C 00:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

There's a difference between Ronnie Brown/Ricky Williams or DeAngelo Williams/Jonathan Stewart. All four of those guys are legit No. 1 backs if needed. The Pats don't have any of guys on that level. You have a handful of No. 2's and third-down backs.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Who needs a RB when you got Tom Brady. The Dolphins have Chad "hurt shoulder" Pennington and the Panthers have Jake "no good, Tommy John" Delhomme. They need RB's. Ositadinma 01:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

That was horribly unfunny and strangely bitter for a Giants fan. Obviously the Patriots can get away without a star back because they have a great line, QB, Randy Moss and head coach. I was just pointing out the lack of a stud No. 1 back. Never said it was vital.

Also, Pennington isn't Miami's quarterback. Future Pro Bowler Chad Henne is.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 04:06, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Bitter, I think we have a hell of a QB and two good RB when healthy (Which none of them were this year). And I think Henne will never be a pro bowler since 1) Miami runs a more unorthodox offense and 2) Manning, Brady, Rivers, heck even Schaub are still around. Who do you want to set out of the Pro Bowl every year so Henne can get in? Ositadinma 04:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Did you even watch a Dolphins game this year? They aired it out on numerous occasions. Henne had a few 50+ attempt games.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 14:48, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Not all of us Giants fans are bitter, some of us choose to blame the defensive coordinator and apparently some of us choose to blame quarterbacks who we never faced this year. Also, while I haven't watched many Dolphins games the few plays I've seen of Henne show me that he could become a top quarterback within a few years.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:48, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that is why I said unorthodox, most teams don't pass the ball 50+ times, including the Giants. Then you get in trouble with that. Ositadinma 20:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Why don't you stick to talking about what you know...whenever you find out what that is.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

AF1 players

Hey I'd be willing to help out updating the articles for players currently on an AF1 roster if you need it. Cheers,--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 20:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

That'd be good. The league is releasing daily transaction logs here, so the rosters I've made so far are based on team sites that have 2010 rosters listed, plus the league transactions. Don't be fooled by some team sites rosters - some say 2009 and some are from when they were part of af2 or another arena league.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

well yea...

Yea because mostly when I edit, Its when Im about to fall asleep and stuff. I dont have a lot of time during the day because of homework. So Im mostly not paying attention. Sorry If I do. Im human. GO DOLPHINS. Stealthninja545 (talk) 21:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

LaRod Stephens-Howling

I'm not sure why the article needs a link to his Twitter account, nor what the edit summary "dumb" is supposed to mean. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:49, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Because the presence of such a link is obviously useful to his encyclopedia entry. Hence, the decision to remove it was dumb.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 05:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how a link to his Twitter account is useful, even if it is his official account. Twitter is not the best place to get encyclopedic information about a person. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Check out the TfD nomination from 2009, the outcome showed that Twitter was an apporopiate link.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 20:16, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I did see that TfD. IMO, the reason it was not deleted is that there are a few instances (not always) when a Twitter link is appropriate, and that template should be used in those cases. That the TfD was closed as a keep is not prima facie evidence that Twitter links are acceptable in all bios. If Chris (or anybody else) can explain to me how Stephens-Howling's Twitter is necessary, I will be happy to let the issue go. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:24, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

It's almost like an official website for NFL players. Some NFL players have official websites, others have Twitters. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I think we should hold off putting that account on his page until Twitter verifies that it is official. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I've removed it because it appears there's some "talk" about it being a fake. Until confirmation (which I doubt twitter'll do, guess you could ask Beanie Wells or Fitzgerald) please don't re-add.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Height/weight

Why did you re add the height and weight for retired players? I dont see the point of having the weight they played with their final year, It most likely changed since the beginning of their career, so what makes the final weight any more special than the first weight.--Yankees10 00:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Any listed weight from their career is good, it gives the reader an idea what kind of player they were. Why do you think Pro Football Reference lists them? It's good info. It's worth knowing right off that bat that Dan Marino was 6-4, 220 as opposed to Doug Flutie-size.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 15:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Gonzalez

Have you ever thought new town, new name? Originally the Orioles listed him as Mike, then Michael. Now why would they do that? Is it immoral for him to call himself Michael? Ositadinma 01:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Any reason you reverted my changes to the Patriots templates? The change was discussed here and here. ~ Richmond96 t • c 05:48, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Not every team has silver as an accent color. The Pats do, and thus using the silver makes it more "Patriots-colored."►Chris Nelson^Holla!

You're right it does give it a more "Patriots-look", but all other team templates in the entire league have white as the font color. I think that should continue here. ~ Richmond96 t • c 15:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

There's no basis for that.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 16:18, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

I really do need to work on not being so stupidly stubborn. I wanted to wait and see what the Panthers listed him at- but since they list him as a WR (not a WR/QB like Isiah Staanback for the pats) He's a WR. You were correct, i was stupid. RF23 (talk) 23:58, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I was harsh, you just have to know the situation. Obviously with Moore, Clausen, Cantwell (and later, Pike) the Panthers weren't picking up Edwards to be a QB.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 01:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you've heard of him?►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:00, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah. He was on Dallas for a year. I don't see what the big deal is. His # isn't retired, or anything. I know he was great for Miami, but his # isn't retired. Yet, anyway. RevanFan (talk) 22:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The point is it will be, and he will be in the Hall of Fame one day, so the number should never be issued in the mean time. It'd be like the Cowboys issuing 8 or 22. They aren't retired, but you still don't do it.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 22:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
