Talk:Rudy Ruettiger

message: Do these sentences seem awkward to anyone else?
"Since his graduation in 1976, his story has been told in the 1993 film Rudy. Written by Angelo Pizzo, directed by David Anspaugh and produced by Rob Fried, the award winning team who created Hoosiers, and actor Sean Astin portrays Rudy in the film."
What about a rewrite that would go something like this?
"In 1993 his story was told in the film Rudy. The film was written by Angelo Pizzo, directed by David Anspaugh and produced by Rob Fried, the award winning team who created the film Hoosiers.  Actor Sean Astin portrays Rudy in the film."
== Carried off field
Was Rudy the "only" player to ever be carried off the field, or just the "most recent" or "last" player to have that honor? Any confirmation? --mtz206 15:09, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Ok,  presuming the movie has it right, will change the trivia mention to reflect Rudy as the "last" player. --mtz206 22:02, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rudy was the last player carried off the field, however Coach Lou Holtz was carried off the field following his last home game in 1996. --Daysleeper47 15:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The article mentions that Mard Ewdards was also carried off the field (the only other person to be carried off).  The reference for that sentence doesn't mention anything about Marc Edwards so I found this reference that does mention it.  OlYellerTalktome 02:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Latest News sections are not appropriate for encyclopedia entries.  Properly cited information regarding noteworthy current events in a subject's life should be incorporated into the article itself.
Additionally, the information contained in this section is all speculative.  Consideration for an unknown award is hardly encyclopedic and seems to exist solely as a promotional footnote for a fad diet.
I am removing the section.  If someone feels they can better reference the information or incorporate it's contents into the article in a more encyclopedic manner, let's discuss it and figure out a way to do it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by K10wnsta (talk • contribs) 22:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The movie RUDY is not a biography, and does not claim to be, so the paragraph above is not even valid. It is an argument against something that does not exist. The movie Rudy is based on a true story to deliver a message to inspire people to overcome adversity and pursue their Dreams. The movie RUDY changes lives and gives people hope during their darkest times. The person, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, travels the country delivering a positive message encouraging people to believe in themselves and never give up. The essence of the RUDY message can be summed up in the following quote:
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could de...stroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. "

I ask because as it is written it doesn't seem to be attributed to Joe Montana. Who is it attributed to? Where is the source? Doesn't  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Based_on_a_True_Story_(disambiguation) explain the concept of based on true a true story well enough? Why don't all of these movies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_actual_events) require the same special care? Doesn't the second to last paragraph in "Early life and college career" explain that paragraph well enough? Whats the point behind the Mother Theresa quote? Did someone ever describe the actions behind Rudy in this way? If so is there a source? if not why should it not be deleted?24.115.19.178 (talk) 11:04, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
