Deflategate comments

The Deflategate discussion has a flaw in NPOV. It refers to "the intentional deflation ..." of the footballs without acknowledging that there is great dispute as to whether such a thing occurred. 98.110.150.153 (talk) 09:20, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Once Brady gets back into regular season games, someone who does have the right to edit his page should forget about his preseason activities, make note of the fact that he missed his first four regular season games as punishment for Deflategate (if he is ruled against) and concentrate on his accomplishments from there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.108.221.198 (talk) 01:32, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deflategate. The American Enterprise Institue conducted a true independent study regarding deflategate. Before Tom Brady's appeal AEI's recommendation was that the NFL should proceed with the knowledge that the Wells report is unreliable.

Updating

I plan on editing two sections for Tom Brady's article. First his early years section, and then I will keep updating his 2015 season based on his performances each week.

First for his early life, much more can be expanded on his life playing sports in high school, as well as the recruiting process he went through that ended up with him playing at the University of Michigan. For his life in high school, I plan on writing about him playing high school football, and include his stats as well as his growth as a QB which led him from JV to the Varsity squad. Along with football, he was a great baseball player, so I will write about him being drafted by the Montreal Expos. Then when he graduated from high school, I will write about the recruiting process. Information for this part will focus on what school were interested in him, and what led him to making his decision to one, not play pro baseball, and two is why he decided to attend Michigan. I feel that by expanding this section, it will expand his young life and what led him to end up in the position he is in today. For this section I found many secondary sources, as well as quotes from his former coaches that are primary sources. Here is some of the sources I will use: 1. text 2. text 3. text 4. text

Lastly for his 2015 season, I will update how he performs, by displaying his stats and whether they win or loss. This information will come from the NFL website

Are maxpreps.com and jockbio.com reliable sources? Remember, this is a biography of a living person, so WP:BLP rules apply. Extra caution needed to vet each source. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 07:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you are saying. If I do use anything from these sources I will make sure there is no bias so it won't hamper what I am trying to write. Nickmccune12 (talk) 01:32, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All of this looks really good! I like how you formatted his current season and everything he is currently doing that will add nicely. If you have the chance do you mind looking at my page on JJ Watt and letting me know what you think? ( Chrissy333 (talk) 23:10, 7 November 2015 (UTC) )[reply]

NFL Top 100

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Tom Brady. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Request to add or make note to eventually add "top 100 players statistics". A few players have this already listed on their wiki page, and I see this being added to more and more players as the "top 100" achievement becomes more credible.

Tom Brady's is as follows:
