More source of controversy?
editI just read this on Sports Illustrated online: "At Colorado, under the God-fearing Bill McCartney (who would leave coaching after the 1994 season to found the Christian men's group Promise Keepers), Buffaloes football players ran amok to such a degree that a school policeman told SI's Rick Reilly, "At the first home football game of every season, a couple of detectives drop by the stadium and pick up a few programs. Saves you time. Instead of having a victim go through the mug book, you just take out your program and say, 'Is he in here?'""[1] Is there more on these issues and should they be integrated into criticisms? --Bobak 17:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Rocket PR "TD"
editCalling it "non-neutral" by putting it in is just plain wrong. Everyone who watched college football in that era knows he still would've scored despite the "clip" which occured AFTER the Rocket was already past the "clipee and clipper" (if that makes sense). There was a big stink about it for weeks after the game, so why SHOULDN'T it be in there? seattlehawk94 15:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
- This is better now with the citations. The usage of "thanks" here is a little colloquial and could be conveyed as sarcastic in tone, which compromises neutrality. I've edited the copy and formatting a bit. Thanks for researching the references. Jweiss11 (talk) 17:25, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
