- It would've been easier to just say "I've looked and looked, and that is all the information I have found on his life outside of football.". I would've replied "Understandable, the more information on his personnel life was ony requested so the article seemed more like a true bio and not a summary of just his career."--WillC 04:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

- Well tackle is used in many sports and used as a plain term in common life. I wouldn't see it as jargon, as much as sack. It would be more of a neutral term for ones unfamiliar with football.
