What, no page?

[edit]

I can't believe, there's no page here. Fran Tarkenton was an awesome player. I think him, Warren Moon, and Dante Culpepper, are the only Vikings QB's, really worth mention. C2 aaron 14:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Businessman or spammer?

[edit]

I knew that after leaving a very successful professional football career, Fran Tarkenton set himself up as a businessman and led seminars for other businessmen. Little did I know that one day I would receive an email from him. How did he know my email address? What could a legendary football hero have to say to me? How can I help Fran Tarkenton?

So I hurriedly and expectantly opened the email from this legend of a quarterback and found, to my dismay, typical spam offering me an opportunity to purchase a report that will reveal the hidden information behind seminars. This was not legendary football hero kind of spam; just your everyday, normal, annoying spam sent by a spambot to millions of unwitting email addresses stored on a CD and purchased from a greasy looking fellow in a back alley.

Thank YOU, Fran Tarkenton, for getting my hopes up and knocking them right back down like a linebacker who was just informed of indiscreet sexual relations between his mother and the opposing team's punter.

Thank YOU, Fran Tarkenton, for the offer to buy some truth from you. The world needs less hype and more truth, although the world could do without any more spammers.

Thank YOU, Fran Tarkenton, for helping me differentiate between the hype and truth about Fran Tarkenton. The hype is that you are a legend; the truth is that you are an annoying spammer.

...Wow-- nice spam, Mr. Anon, but I vote business man. Skiendog (talk) 23:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Businessman is My Vote

[edit]

Many celebrities endorse products. If your offer arrived after the "Can SPAM Act", then undoubtedly, you got yourself on a list, from which you can be removed. Endorsements are big-money, and, welcome to America, where someone can have multiple, profitable careers. Try using a SPAM blocker! (afc)

...I agree. Skiendog (talk) 23:30, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace?

[edit]

THe infobox says Blacksburg, VA, the article says Richmond, VA. Blacksburg's wikipedia entry lists him as a notable native.
