More Information Needed[edit]

As this article is going to grow as Mr. Tate does, it will need additional information from his early life. Such as "Tate was born in Hendersonville, Tennessee to "?parent's name"" More information about his High School career, relationship (cousins, uncles, etc) to other athletes or persons tagged on Wiki would greatly contribute to this article. Anyone with a photograph that meets the Wiki requirements should also upload it to the article.

Anyone with information about awards (such as the recent nomination for the Maxwell Award) should also edit this page with that information.

Finally, there is only one sentence about him being drafted by the Cleveland Indians. More information about if he signed or continued with the University of ND should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morning277 (talk • contribs) 20:19, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Was able to find more information about him being drafted out of high school. Cleaned up the "baseball career" section. Still need to get a photograph. Don't have time to stalk him at the University (just kidding). Morning277 (talk) 02:33, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe that anyone thinks the Top-Pot incident was real. Coach Carroll is notorious for this sort of creative marketing. (See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36OoE2a9wfs) In 2005, he threw a dummy of LenDale White off a building on Halloween. He has Snoop Dogg and Will Ferrell regularly play pranks on football players. He had police officers come into Heritage Hall and pretend to arrest a player!!!

Hello? Golden Tate was never cited or charged. How come? I mean-- how did he even get in the donut shop in the first place?? That's breaking & entering and at least a police report. There is no police report anywhere, and NBNC is at least smart enough to figure it out. Obamafan70 (talk) 19:46, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. C'mon. you'd have to be an idiot to think this was for real. TopPot just signed a huge contract with SEA166.82.131.42 (talk) 20:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 25 September 2012[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The last sentence which states: Further review and replays showed that the pass was actually intercepted by Green Bay Safety M. D. Jennings. According to whom? Where is the source? Sdelliott (talk) 17:11, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed that sentence for now as I interpret your comment above as a good-faith challenge to uncited BLP material. However, I have no objection to re-insertion of that statement or a similar one if it is appropriately sourced. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 19:00, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a minor COI with this article as I have a relationship with NDU. However, I would say that the entire section should be removed due to Undue Weight. This is a biography of a living person and should not be used by those who are upset about what took place at a single game during a single season. Especially on a biography page. He was one of the player's involved in the play; however, the information is better suited for Here or [List of 2012 NFL replacement officials]. I would also advise a close watch on the page as there will be plenty of SPA accounts attempting to lengthen the entry that is already there. --UsedEdgesII (talk) 19:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is where it actually belongs. --UsedEdgesII (talk) 20:13, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Legal issues[edit]

I edited this as the way it was written before made it seem like he and his friend intentionally broke into a business. But the reference shows it seems like it was a mistake as a door inside the building he lived in, and the shop was located in, was left unlocked. Also not sure if its really relevant to be included or fitting to call it a "Legal issue". I did not remove as I believe my edit made it more neutral and maybe others want to keep it. If other editors do want to keep it maybe change the subject line from Legal issue to something else? ContentEditman (talk) 00:01, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
