message: GUYS?? This is ridiculous. NOWHERE in this article does it state that he is autistic. THAT IS THE ENTIRE REASON WHY THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE STORY. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.82.9.81 (talk • contribs) .

replies: text: They will get Chris Burke to play J-Mac and it will include scenes of J-Mac playing beer pong and missing every cup while he calls people names and acts like a douche. They will cut out the scene where the Spencerport coach tells his players not to defend the disabled boy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.155.227 (talk) 21:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Is Jason notable under WP:NOT#NEWS, where it says that people should not be included over one event? Just a question, I don't really know, and I'd love for someone to set me straight...Cheers, -talk- the_ed17 -contribs- 04:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NOT#NEWS says that an indivual is notable if "news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event". McElwain won an ESPY and was visited by President Bush, so news coverage has been gone beyond the game in February. --Mr.crabby  (Talk) 11:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the fact that they're making a movie about him suggests he is noteworthy enough to meet the criteria. Anson2995 (talk) 14:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Anon User 149.169.127.35 wrote "Whoever writes this says he's from Greece, N.Y., but that is wrong. Although, he went to a Greece schol, he is from Rochester. His postal address says Rochester, not Greece. Same as Athena/Wegmans...". First of all, many Rochester suburbs have a Rochester mailing address (see }. That doesn't change the fact that the town of Greece is not in the city of Rochester.  For confirmation that McElwain lived/lives in Greece, just look at his book.  The B&N page for the book includes the author bio from the jacket, which says: "He works at Wegmans in Rochester, New York, and lives in the neighboring town of Greece."   If someone ones to add a citation to the main article, it's here.   Anson2995 (talk) 01:59, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Why do I have to keep reverting people who call McElwain a "boy" or (now) an "adolescent"?  Isn't "man" the accepted term for any male over the age of 18?  Powers T 20:21, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
