[edit] Olbermann "controversy"
I fail to see how this qualifies as a controversy or even justifies a mention in the article. I listened to the interview and the question about the Delaware River was taken as a joke by both Swann and Patrick. I don't think even Olbermann took it that seriously. Even if it has been in the news for almost a month, it has really only become a major public issue recently. There's nothing about this incident that makes it worth having a whole section about it bigger than that of the one about Swann's NFL career. -Maximusveritas 16:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] High School
The first paragraph is a summary, the highlights of man's life and career. If there is something noteworthy about attending that high school, it's not readily apparent. Yet it doesn't seem to fit in any of the other sections of the article, either.
It's when I read the Heinz Foundation bio that I figured out what's wrong. The guy has a wife who is referred to Dr. Charlene Swann, and two kids. We have little here except his football and political career. His degree was in public relations, and he has a public relations firm. As a reader, I'm curious. Is Dr. Swann a childhood sweetheart, someone he met while in USC, a physician that was treating him? How old are his two boys?
I think this needs fleshed out - but I don't have the information to do it. Anyone?

- I don't think much of that info is publicly available. Swann's official bio doesn't even say anything about his wife, so I don't think he's all that willing to share that kind of info. I did a Google search on Charena Swann and found out that she is a psychotherapist with an LSW (Licensed Social Worker) qualification. I'm not sure why she is referred to as a doctor. - Maximusveritas 16:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

- The information is in newspaper articles, though, especially now that he is a major candidate. In practice, sports stars are generally accorded more privacy about their personal lives than politicians (which is virtually none). I expect more about his family life to be added, and I have already added a blurb about the family in the biography. Calwatch 20:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] By the number
What number did he wear? Worth including? Trekphiler 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
