No mention of Tyler swearing on national tv after the Notre Dame Dame I think, curius. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.18.44.49 ( talk) 20:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Just curious, why is the category Category:People from Wisconsin here? I thought he was from PA. I'll leave it here for the time being, but will remove it later if it proves to be an error. SolitaryThrush 09:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Further investigation of the name led to a myspace page and a vainspace page indicating that the "marriage" listed was a hoax. If her name appears again, please remove the name. IrishLass0128 13:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
The below template that appeared to indicate Tyler was still in college to the untrained eye was added at the bottom of the page below the NFL links. This leads to two questions, is it appropriate for an NFL player and will all NFL players have one (if not, none should) and, two, how do the two projects balance each other since not every college player makes it to the NFL? IrishLass ( talk) 20:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I bounced around the entire Pittsburgh Steelers players and didn't find it used on one player. From someone else, is it or is it not common place to include college stats when a player has moved up to the NFL or not and if it is common, why is it not on any of the Steelers players I found? IrishLass ( talk) 20:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
...Huh...? What exactly are we arguing about? Pats1 T/ C 22:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Chris is right. There are a good number of current or former NFL players that have college succession boxes (or nav boxes in some cases) on their articles ( Vinny Testaverde, for example). Chris addressed this in his edit summary after IrishLass removed the succession box. I'm assuming (based off her comments) IrishLass removed it because A) it wasn't clear whether it was a college or NFL ("Pitt") succ. box -- in which case it should be just been tweaked to clarify, not removed all together or B) it was about his college career and now he's in the NFL. As to that point, just because he's in the NFL doesn't mean his college career gets wiped out (just as a page like Doug Flutie wouldn't have the Heisman Trophy succ. box removed when he went pro). IrishLass' subsequent revert (moreso its edit summary) was, to me, in the wrong, as Chris' previous edit summary adequately addressed the situation. A revert isn't a bad thing, and I think there's a false assumption out there that a talk page discussion should always come before even the thought of a revert. It's after that when a talk page discussion should ensue. So IrishLass reverting Chris' revert to make the point that discussion should come before reverting was a little off-base. Chris' second and final revert probably shouldn't have happened. Once the talk page discussion started, Chris made the comment that "I take it you're not a common editor of football articles" - perfectly acceptable, completely civil. Like I said, there's a lot of amfoot articles that do have college succ. boxes/nav boxes, and this is the first time I've heard of one being removed.
IrishLass then claimed Chris' edit summary was "uncivil" - I'm assuming she's referring to his second, "you don't know what you're doing, see talk" which could have been phrased better, but it was civil. Pats1 T/ C 00:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Could you drop by the talk page, I've asked a question and I'd like your feedback. Thank you. IrishLass ( talk) 20:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Are you folks really going 12 rounds over a player who will likely *never* touch a blade of grass (or astroturf) on a regular season NFL field? I understand this is about semantics, but there has to be a more worthy poster boy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.95.16 ( talk) 04:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
