Talk:Shawne Merriman

message: It says "Going to Mcdonalds for salad is like going to a crack house for vitamins." 
As well as being completely unrelated to Shawne Merriman, I'm pretty sure it's also vandalism. 
I'm not an editor, but someone should change it.
:I cannot find this remark anywhere in the current entry. Also, you and everyone else with an internet connection, can be an editor! ---Jackel 19:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism on Shawne Merriman Page 

message: Lead paragraph says he is notable for not signing (or something) some sort of injury clause, but has no further information about this in the article.  What is this talkking about? Pimlottc 16:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  injury clause 

message: Many Players, including Carolina Panthers' star pass-rusher Julius Peppers have received 4-game suspensions for alleged steroid use. The line was removed as editorial. It's important to try and maintain a fair balance on both sides of an issue.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.44.84.63 (talk • contribs) .
There was a difference between Peppers and and Merriman.TheTruth2 17:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  career will be tarnished 

message: TheTruth2 06:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: None of these links offer a reputed "expert" or "critic" saying his career is now tarnished. The Bostonchannel.com article poses the question that it *might* affect his star status, the contracostatimes article doesn't even broach the subject, and the last link doesn't work, and seems to point to a blog, which is not a notable source. Until you can provide a notable source, stop trying to inject your own obvious bais into this article. ---Jackel 18:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  LInks to articles career tarnished 

message: His explanation for the cause of his positive steroid test is a claim. When it is discussed it should be phrased as "Merriman claims..." and "...he claims..." The way it was previously phrased it made it seem as though his claim that it was due to a supplement was a recognized fact. Quadzilla99 14:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Steroid Explanation

message: I noticed that someone had removed the weight discrepancy (253-270) as a reasoning why some believed Merriman guilty. I did a little research and it appears that he was, in fact, already 270 when he entered the draft, so that comment was inaccurate anyway. I wouldn't bother switching it back.

thread_title:  Steroid Suspension 

message: I removed all this to the talk page, as even though it was listed under a "Personal life" header it's all trivia (see WP:TRIV). Some of it could be salvaged if it can be out in an encyclopedic context. Quadzilla99 09:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Info removed

message: This RFC was created because the measureable box I created was deleted.  A discussion was already started on the best way to present "pre-draft measureable" information in the Wikiproject NFL discussion page.  I would appreciate if deletion and relevance decisions were based on consensus rather than personal opinion.  Thank You.Eeks2284 23:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Request for Comment:measureable box

message: I just had to switch it back to the third previous page in the history today because someone did a "Mark McMerriman" spam article libeling him and referring to the Chargers as the Chokers. This page should be closed off from universal editing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.231.74 (talk) 00:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Close off the article to unregistered editors/crack down on vandalism 

message: I think there should be some mention of his encounters with fire.
 
Merriman was both. A lot. And more. 
The first time his apartment burned down – yes, the first time – it was because a trio of thugs threw a Molotov cocktail through a window trying to intimidate his baby-sitter, who knew too much about a murder. 
Merriman was 11. 
He still recalls the smoke in his eyes and nostrils. 
Not six years later, half the family's house burned in a fire started by candles lit for warmth. 
He lost everything and ended up living with one of his coaches the rest of his junior year.
Merriman was not home when the fire started. He had gone to a friend's house after getting home and finding there was no electricity or heat, a common occurrence that he discussed with his friend in only vague terms.
