thread_title: subpar writing

message: The prior claim that Williams' jaw was wired shut during Super Bowl XXII, which has now propagated to other websites and even a slideshow caption this week at washingtonpost.com, is false.  Photos from the February 8, 1988, issue of Sports Illustrated clearly depict him with his mouth wide open.  (See especially page 28; the issue is viewable at sportsillustrated.cnn.com.)  (Many will recall that Williams famously recorded the first-ever post-SuperBowl "I'm going to Disney World" commercial, again with a clearly open mouth. )
According to the entry on the 1978 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams did break his jaw during his rookie season, requiring it to be wired shut; this was ten years earlier than Super Bowl XXII.
While William's jaw was not wired shut during the Super Bowl, he did have a complete root canal procedure on the day prior to the big game.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gramfam (talk • contribs) 22:15, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
