Unworthy of Publishing?

"Caught a touchdown pass and handed the ball to a soldier in the end zone during the 3rd Quarter of the "Manning Bowl" between the Giants and the Indianapolis Colts on September 10, 2006 (the day before the fifth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks)."

I don't see how this warrants entry into Wikipedia or an aspect of his personal life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.231.117 (talk) 17:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Sections

Currently, almost all of the factoids in the Shockey’s Trivia section are written as incomplete sentences. While most Good/Featured articles shun Trivia sections, the information may pose some significance, pending its verification (unless all the information was gathered from one reliable source). Trivia sections are usually spliced into one’s “Personal life” section. --ShadowJester07 21:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the concept of bullets and lists, which are not meant to be written in "complete" sentences. ;) As the section is written, it reads much better than redundantly writing, "Shockey has...," "Shockey was...," "Shockey's favorite...".-PassionoftheDamon 22:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Why not just convert the bullet points into a paragraph or two :p --ShadowJester07 22:35, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The information covers too divergent topics (musical tastes, patriotism, friendships, romantic interests, etc.) to consolidate into a paragraph right now. Each bullet point would have to stand as a new paragraph since there is no unifying theme. Ultimately, however, consolidating the bullet-pointed 'Trivia' section into paragraphs should be the goal as more information is added.-PassionoftheDamon 20:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homophobic

When I used to live in New York City, it seemed like this guy was always in the paper for saying something controversial, I think about gay people too. Does anyone know anything about this? I'm going to check it right now.
