[edit] Muay Thai quote

"To understand the power of the Thai boxing round kick, Chai Sirisute [president and founder of the Thai Boxing Association of the U.S.A., a legend in Thailand], at 135 pounds, registered a kick at 250 psi on a Dallas Cowboy's placekickers' gauge. To break human bones takes a strike impacting at 160 psi. His star pupil [at the time of the article], All-Pro Defensive Lineman Randy White, measured 400 psi on the same gauge after two months of Thai boxing training. Thai boxers have been knownto break a hip or thigh bone with a single round kick."

[edit] Major Rewrite

Article was largely unreferenced. I did a major rewrite, and referenced everything I could. Feel free to add more info as relevent and referenced. --Jayron32 07:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Post football?

The guy has been retired for almost two decades. What has he been doing since? Jacob1207 01:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• I did much of the rewrite, and the references I had didn't mention much. The football books I have only talked about his football life, and all of the web-based bios I found on him did much the same. Saw him on TV doing an interview during the ACC Championship game pregame show, but there was nothing of substance. He was signing autographs and rehashing his Maryland glory days. If ANYONE has references to his pre- or post- football personal life, it would REALLY improve this article a BUNCH. --Jayron32 03:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Well there are several cowboys books outthere that mention White alot, you can use that as refs. Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Failed

I'm a fan of Randy White, and it's a decent article but I'm failing this for several reasons.

Half the article is list, some of it can be expanded to prose, can be expanded more especially that there has been books written about the Cowboys in the 1970s and trivia sections aren't recomended, see WP:AVTRIV.

Fails 1a, needs a copyedit, some weasel words around like The move was a natural fit and those quotes are unsourced.

Can a free image be found?
