[edit] userpage

Hey there. I'd like to ask that you create for yourself a userpage, for the purely selfish reason that when I'm doing New Pages patrol, and I see a page created by someone whose userpage has a redlink, I think it to be the work of a newbie, and it takes me an extra minute to check it out and validate it as being genuine.

[edit] re: Super Bowl articles

Although I do not entirely 100% percent agree with every single detail such as the ones you mentioned, I will try to keep them (after correcting the spelling and the grammar of course). After all, most of those plays are covered on those 30-minute Super Bowl highlight shows of NFL Films. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah pluss some of them are just downright funny. The second quarter of Super Bowl XXII and the first quarter of Super Bowl XXVI played out like slapstick comedy--Chainclaw.

[edit] I need a favor

I just created a poor stub on the former Washington Redskins player Mark Murphy, I can't find much info on him though. I know you are good in expanding football profiles, Can you expand it. Thanks --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, the problem is that I checked goggle and there was too many Mark Murphys mostly about a jazz singer with the same name, and I also checked Pro Football Refernce and they only had the Mark Murphy who played for the Green Bay Packers. Thanks again --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 02:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

For defensive players, you should check databasefootball.com, not PFR. Though I gotta admit Murphy was a little hard to find there because his name is spelled wrong for some reason

--Chainclaw

[edit] Bengals

Good catch on the second Bengals-Niners super bowl correcx. That's what I get for copy editing at 5 am. I'm a Bengals' addict, so I'll be tidying the page up a bit. No major changes, just grammar cleanup. Hope you don't mind. --docsophist 22:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] than

Please use than for comparison, and then for chronological reference (e.g. less than, more than, instead of then). 204.113.242.78 17:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK nominations

Just a friendly reminder to make your DYK nominations at the bottom of the relevant date, per the instructions. BigHaz 22:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 10 August 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Max McGee, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Pete Johnson

You added to the Archie Griffin article that Griffin's 1973 breakout was in part due to Pete Johnson's blocking. However, Johnson did not become the Ohio State starting fullback until 1974. In 1973 the OSU fullback was Bruce Elia^[1]. (And in 1974, Johnson was still splitting time with Champ Henson.)

Furthermore, singling out the contribution of any fullback minimizes the contribution of the terrific 1973 Ohio State offensive line, featuring All Americans Steve Meyers and Kurt Schumacher, and Heisman runner-up John Hicks.
