Extra Info[edit]

Shouldn't you list a football players height and weight from his playing days?

What?[edit]

"At the time of his retirement, he was the last Oakland Raider still with the team." This sentence does not make any sense. I don't know what it should say, so I didn't fix it. But he couldn't have been the only person on the team.

It means he was the last player on the team at the time who had played for the Raiders when they were in Oakland. At the time the team had moved to L.A. and I guess everyone on the roster then had joined the team after it's move to L.A. Quadzilla99 15:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Is a Boston Red Sox fan and sat on the Green Monster during a game in the FOX televised 2004 ALCS and wore a Red Sox hat when he wrongly predicted the New England Patriots would win Super Bowl XLII." How does 2004 ALCS, wearing a Red Sox hat, and SB 42 relate to each other? There is a timeline conflict first, and the whole sentence doesn't quite make sense.

Pro Bowl Appearances[edit]

the article says he was in 8 pro bowls, but the info block on the right column under his photo says he was in 9. what' the deal? update: his hall of fame page says 8, so i'm going to update the right-hand sidebar to reflect this.

A citation is needed after the bouncer info. I'm not sure how to add a citation except my personal knowledge that I replaced him in that particular job and it was well known among the staff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.232.66 (talk) 07:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
