Jimmy only played a single season for the Packers, and featured mostly on Special Teams... you really think that anymore can be said about his time in Green Bay?Ryecatcher773 (talk) 07:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked Punt 1979

If you watch the video at Cleveland.com, you can clearly see Laughlin (#5) and D'Andrea (#96) block the punt. If you continue to watch, at approximately 8:40-8:45 you can see D'Andrea's name on his jersey. He is also listed as a part of the roster at Fan Base. I hope this is enough of a citation to keep the proper name listed. I'm new at this and will readily admit I am related to Jim. However, I don't believe this violates WP:COI as this would be seen to relate more to D'Andrea than Jim. Please let me know if you still think I need more documentation. I may have newspapers from 1979 that list both Jim and D'Andrea.

Thank you

Addendum: Found this scan of an article at Newspapers.com. It also lists both Laughlin and D'Andrea as being the ones to block the punt.

Picture

When I next see Jim, I will see if I can get a picture for this page. Are there any recommendations for appropriate pictures for WP:BLP?
