Talk:Rick Telander
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can we call 'football' American Football or American Rules Football for clarity? There are so many varieties of football around the world; mostly 'football' is synonymous with Association Football but football can be used to describe many variants of the game, of which, gridiron is a minority sport.
[edit] Notability? This guy's been famous for 20 years.
Telander played college football at Northwestern, wrote for Sports Illustrated for decades, writes for the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote Heaven Is A Playground, which was made into a movie, had a television show in Chicago for more than a decade, had a radio show in Chicago briefly, and has been featured on ESPN's Sports Reporters show a number of times. What else do you want this guy to do? He's not the best sports writer, but he's certainly well known, especially in Chicago. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dancon7 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC).
