Talk:Muhsin Muhammad

message: Why is Muhammad's name given in Turkish? The article says he was born in Michigan, and nothing about a possible Turkish descent is given. I don't see any reason whatsoever to have his name in another language unless his family's origins are more spelled out; unless he lived in Turkey at some point, the pronounciation should not be in the article. -- Kicking222 16:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact he was born a Muslim. Then again, I could be wrong --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   16:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

text: The Arabic version of Moose's name is محسن محمد . However, I don't think the article really needs it, as he was born in America. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk   20:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

text: His nickname is "Moose". As is noted in the article, his fans will yell that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.57.64.252 (talk) 23:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Super Bowl Coin Toss 

message: I'm adding a link to his official website, moose87.com .  It doesn't say anything about his religion, but it could be of interest to readers, and elaborates on his charity work through the M2 Foundation. Akbeancounter 00:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: The article currently reads: 
Muhammad's catching ability and ball handling skills were almost unmatched on the team. During the 2005 and 2006 season, he caught several poorly thrown passes that would have been likely intercepted at the hands of other Bears’ receivers.
To be unbiased and fair, it should also read:
Muhammad also consistently dropped many passes that would have been likely caught by almost any other professional wide receiver.
It's not bashing the guy (I actually like him), it's the truth.  Regardless, the current line is almost pure POV (how can you definitively know another receiver would have dropped a given pass?) and unsourced.  Besides, his "catching ability and ball handling skills" should be unmatched, seeing as he was paid to be the primary receiving option.  I could be argued that he got paid like a superstar, tried to act and talk like a superstar, but didn't perform like star in any sense.  His tenure in Chicago was a disappointment at best.  The QB situation and offensive schemes didn't help but he was definitely on the back end of his career.

replies: text: It shouldn't any fan commentary like that. Stuff like that needs to be sourced.►Chris NelsonHolla! 16:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's my point.  The current article's line is fan commentary and unsourced.  Even if it was sourced, that is so slanted and could be better written so as not to come across as biased.  I would rewrite it, but I'd only add my suggestion about the drops and it would get deleted.Zerotta (talk) 16:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was only talking about adding the one line about the drops, not the entire commentary under it.  Zerotta (talk) 16:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  playing style 

message: "Controversy broke out after Muhammad was asked about the turtles indigenous to the Charlotte area. "I wanna smack a turtle for being so green," he said."  I laughed over this for about two minutes straight, but seriously...can we get a source on this?  I'm pretty sure this can be removed though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kraas (talk • contribs) 22:59, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
