Nationality[edit]

I can see that every time New England Patriots play in Super Bowl, Rob Ninkovich "becomes" Serb for a couple of days. Of course, without any citation of sources. Actually sources which cite his nationality as Croatian are left. Can somebody protect this page from vandalism? 188.252.152.81 (talk) 11:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, editor 188.252.152.81 is correct: multiple sources refer to Ninkovich's Croatian heritage, including the cited 2010 Boston Herald article (also available on HighBeam [1]) and Bill Belichick's lauding him as "a tough Croatian kid" [2][3]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:45, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this year it started to happen at AFC championship game, already. An improvement. 213.149.61.191 (talk) 01:06, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Touchdowns by Ninkovich[edit]

An anonymous editor has twice changed the number of TDs by Ninkovich from one to two. I've reverted the changes, because NFL.COM statistics (which are the cited reference, see here) claims only one. Looking at it more closely, it looks like Ninkovich made two TDs, one in 2011 week 10, and a second one in 2014 week 8. The above NFL.COM stats claim he has zero touchdowns in 2014.

Anyone have another source for statistics for Ninkovich? Or have any idea to get nfl.com to check its statistics? I'm pretty convinced the cited reference is wrong in this case, but without a better reference I can't change it. Tarl N. (discuss) 04:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bagumba points me here. The problem is that the NFL statistics cited only show TDs from interceptions, and the 2014 TD was from a fumble. Will fix the article and add the pro-football-reference pointer as a cite. Tarl N. (discuss) 16:00, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
