[edit] Missed FG

He should never have been put in the position he was put in. My family and I happen to be fond of Mike Vanderjagt and his family. Regardless of the last play of this season, he is a wonderful kicker and person. Congrats on your season Mike!

Fixing this: "In the 2005 NFL Playoffs, in a very tightly contested game, where every officiating call was dead wrong and usually in the Colts' favor, against the Pittsburgh Steelers," (Although I agree...) - NinedenLtD 16:45, 15 January 2005 (UTC).

Maybe so he won't be vilified too much for this, we could add other reasons why the Colts lost the game, so 100% of the blame doesn't fall on him?

That wouldn't be appropriate for a Mike Vanderjagt article, though. --OntarioQuizzer 03:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prounounciation

How is his name prounounced? Anyone got sources? --OntarioQuizzer 22:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

• I have a guy living three doors down the hall from me here in res, and he used to mow Vanderjagt's lawn. He always pronounces it "Van-der-jagt" just like it's spelled. No "eh" between the "g" and "t". That seems to be what it's like when announcers on TV pronounce it, too. The Chief 23:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suicide attempt?

Take a look at this: http://www.iiffl.net/nflnews/ap/news_slug=citadel-2_353743_11&prov=citadel&type=story.html

I assume it's a joke (and in very poor taste if so), but if not it's pretty messed up. The Chief 23:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

IMHO, it's an AP wire story, ergo verifiable; therefore I figure it should go in the article footnoted. --OntarioQuizzer 06:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

On second thought, I can't find secondary corroboration on Google. Out it goes. --OntarioQuizzer 06:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

It's a hoax... Don't believe everything you read, even if it looks legit (see the URL, try to find this on any other site, etc). --W.marsh 21:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't that be don't believe ANYTHING you read? Cryomaniac 22:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsportsmanlike conduct or Personal Foul

The article indicated there was a meaningless 15 yard "personal foul (unsportsmanlike conduct)" penalty, but the two are seperate penalties and mutually exclusive (though they're both worth 15 yards). Removing your helmet is unsportsmanlike conduct, not a personal foul. Article updated. Vpoko 03:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Source link bad

The only source link (1) to ESPN is dead and I cannot find the article it originally referred to. Icebird 16:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needless Side Commentary

Can someone please eliminate the following needless side commentary?

"He was last seen working at McDonald in downtown Dallas, but report indicated he was release on his first day on the job. The manager quoted "He kept flipping the patties wide right into the french fry station." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.29.86 (talk • contribs)

Already done - but you could have done it yourself. Be bold! -- Pawl 04:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Most accurate kicker?

The article reads, "He was once the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history", implying that his record has since been broken. I have not heard anything about this, and I follow the NFL VERY VERY closely. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 19:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
