I added a couple of citations, and I added a couple of "citation needed" tags for some facts I was not able to verify. Maybe due to his frequent status of traveling between bad teams, good material on Chandler seems difficult to come by. I spent a good bit of time researching, but was not able to find anything to the effect that he's the oldest player to have scored on a 2-point conversion. More significantly, there's a problem with the statement that he's "started for an NFL-record eight teams". He played for the Rams twice, once in L.A. and once in St. Louis. Do we really consider that to be two different teams? Mark Royals and Karl Wilson have played for eight different teams, so I dispute whether it's accurate to include Chandler in that list. I propose to delete that statement, unless somebody can provide a citation that he legitimately holds that record.GuySperanza (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree. Yes the Rams changed cities, but they were still the same team. Or do we consider players that played for the Rams last year and this year to be on different teams since they changed locations again? Chandler played for 7 teams, not 8. 67.253.250.154 (talk) 16:41, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

– Is this person the primary topic over the other people listed at Christopher Chandler? If so, he's probably also the primary topic for "Christopher Chandler" and the disambiguation page should be moved to Christopher Chandler (disambiguation). If not, then he's probably not the primary topic for this title either, and should be moved to Chris Chandler (American football) with Chris Chandler pointing to the dismbiguation page. The current situation, in which the nickname has a primary topic but the full name doesn't, is highly unlikely to be ideal and seems to have emerged by historical accident rather than a deliberate decision. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:14, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, I guess that's fine, but it doesn't seem like the NFL player is usually called that (I searched Newspapers.com for "Christopher Chandler" but was not able to find any articles about the football player in the first five pages of results). BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:10, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
