Jon Emerson >>> Why is there so much talk about Jack Buck? It really does not matter that he died 4 days before and his son announced Darryl's passing on Fox. There are probably many more noteworthy things to mention in this article. As it stands now, mentioning Jack Buck just seems like a cheap plug for some publicity.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonemerson ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 20 July 2006
The reference to Kile's hitting Eckstein in the last sentence of the paragraph about Kile's last game sticks out like a sore thumb. It's a weak coincidence, which I don't think is enough of a reason for it to be in this article. Davewho2 07:25, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
It was widely reported that a sack of weed and paraphernalia were found in his hotel room. Why is this not mentioned in the article? Even if it didn't contribute to his death, doesn't it seem relevant to include this information??? Johnnydader
If he was found dead with a passed out hooker, I bet it would be mentioned even if it didn't contribute to his death. If he was found dead with a pair of pink panties on and it was widespread in the media, I bet it would be mentioned too.
If he was found LIVE in his hotel room with marijuana it would be mentioned. There are several professional athlete's pages where it is mentioned how they busted with some type of drug. Randy Moss's page mentions that he had a small amount of pot when he ran into that traffic cop with his car. It probably didn't contribute to his ramming of a cop (at least it was reported he was stoned at the time), but it was widely reported and relevant enough to be mentioned.
The CBS news article cited in the article makes extensive mention of the fact and explicitly states it didn't contribute. The point is that CBS news found it relevant enough to mention, and the CBS news article was relevant enough to be cited here. My suggestion: add it and state that it didn't contribute. Just my two cents. I hope that you are not fighting this because you think it will tarnish Kile's name. ( Johnnydader 06:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC))
The Astros part also contains information about Kile's early life. If I'm reading about Kile's time with the Stros, it shouldn't start "Kile was born in xxx in California". Also, the death section could probably be split up and fleshed out. Maybe a description of the circumstances surrounding his death, then a separate split for teammate/league/media reaction.
