Apropos of absolutely nothing, I remember a joke going around when I was in grade school back in the 1960s, which was that Johnny Unitas was going to open up a chain of restaurants called "Unitas Steaks of America". soulpatch
Of only slightly more relevance, shouldn't something in the article mention his number 19? I don't know what team that started with or who retired it, etc., or I'd add it myself. But it will certainly help when I get around to my article on slang poker hand names (A-9, or aces and nines, is called a "Johnny Unitas"). --LDC

[edit] Johnny Unitas
I believe Johnny Unitas, deserves a lot more, respect than that. It's disrespectful to, even joke about someone who, did a lot of stuff, that you could probably never do. And, just because, someone names a poker hand after him, doesn't mean, it should be discussed, under a Johnny Unitas, talk page. C2 aaron 14:21, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
- Dude, you don't, happen to be, a fire and brimstone, southern, preacher? Because, your misuse, of, commas, and, the resulting, rhythm, to your speech, cause you to, sound, quite frankly, like you're informing me, about, the evils, of sin. --Action Jackson IV 05:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- How is it even disrespectful? Johnny Unitas was a good guy and a good football player, not a deity on earth. His name may be spoken. Get over it.4.158.198.72 (talk) 21:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unitas was a breed apart
Once, while playing a game, Unitas broke his nose. To stop the bleeding he shoved mud up his nostril. He played the entire game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.213.113.57 (talk) 22:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Stats Removal
They were removed per WP:EL. Jmfangio ► Talk 20:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

A direct quote from WP:EL - "Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic; information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics,..." Please explain how this is any different. This is a problem throughout the WP:NFL project. Jmfangio ► Talk 06:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 1960-1967 seasons
I don't understand why the information that was added for this time period in Unitas' career was removed (as well as the details added to the 1957-59 seasons). Between 1960 and 1967, Unitas had some of his best seasons in the league (including MVP seasons in 1964 and 1967) and yet there was nothing about this in the main article prior to the additions I added. Please explain before deleting again. Thanks -- Sb26554 03:20, 12 March 2008
[edit] Age when his father died
The AP obituary lists his age as 4. Other sources, including an ESPN sportscentury feature and what's possibly a letter from his own wife give his age as 5. Is it possible that the AP story contains the real mistake? Are there other reliable sources that give the age of 4? --Onorem♠Dil 22:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
