Talk:Leon Lett

Untitled

This article doesn't seem particularly neutral, with stuff like "People forget defensive linemen are not ball carriers and these were plays in which Lett found himself to suddenly be in possession of a ball. They also forget the fact that when a defensive lineman obtains a ball, it means a great defensive play has just taken place." sounding rather fanboy-ish. I'm not sure if they should just be deleted or rewritten. Shortspecialbus (talk) 19:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

But I guess its okay to defame a great defensive player and he was one of the great defensive players.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.174.77.67 (talk) 19:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

NFL films has made a few variations about Super Bowl XXVIII such as super bowl highlights broadcast on espn and in them the narrator stated about the game and Leon Lett "the undisputed key play in that game belonged to none other than Leon Lett..." and narrated the detail of the play film using colorful descriptions such as "sliced through the Buffalo line like a knife." The question of the descriptive language aside, the overall question being, are these game films a valid source and if so how does one mark it as a source?

I feel that it would only fair that an article about the person would credit the person with one of his key contributions during his playing days. We should be able to add something like:

Dallas won Super Bowl XXVIII for the "back to back" Super Bowl wins and a key play to win that Super Bowl, was made by Leon Lett. With the Cowboys trailing 13-6 in the third quarter, Lett, "sliced through the Buffalo line like a knife..." forcing a fumble while tackling running back Thurman Thomas in the backfield on the third play of the drive. Lett had stopped Buffalo's advance and turned the game's momentum back in favor of the Cowboys. Dallas safety James Washington recovered the ball and returned it 46 yards for a touchdown to tie the game, and the Cowboys won 30-13.

Degree

The article currently says that Leon "graduated with a degree in university studies". Is there really such a thing? If he concentrated in history and sociology, wouldn't he have earned a Bachelor of Arts or somesuch? PKT(alk) 23:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
