message: A nerd who has never played a sport in his life gets to question the playing time of a NFL player?  Does he realize how special you have to be to be in the NFL?  Starting at least three years in high school and college.  This joke didn't play in high school or any other sport get him OUT.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.61.194 (talk) 22:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seriously 

message: It seems to me that John Clayton is mis-labeled by the title of this article as "sportscaster" while the description "sportswriter" seems more appropriate. He's spent a good chunk of his career as a newspaper writer and even with ESPN a good deal of his contribution comes as a writer (mostly for ESPN.com). I realize he does a fair amount of television and radio, but it seems that the writing underlies all of that. Please let me know what you think about this proposed change. — DeeJayK (talk) 17:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Was a source ever found for that? Because I kept seeing it get readded in the flurry of his death, yet even as everything calmed down I don’t see a source for it specifically. I would’ve thought someone would’ve placed it in the prose but there’s no reference note--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:04, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

message: I think it's dubious that he started at Pittsburgh Press when he was 17 and in high school.  I think it was mixed up with The St. Mary's Daily Press, where he said he launched his career at 18. I will remove it.—Bagumba (talk) 10:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pittsburgh Press 

message: His being a staff writer at Score! Pittsburgh looks like it was lifted from Wikipedia, where it had existed unsourced at least since September 2016. Sources from after that time are likely WP:CIRCULAR references that should not be used.—Bagumba (talk) 00:08, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
