any NFL players that are just 5'10?

hey are there any current NFL players that are under 6 foot tall? 5'10 or 5'11? Any QBs? What's the shortest current quarterback, and shortest ever?Troyster87 (talk) 08:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shortest ever may be Doug Flutie who is 5'10". Dismas|^(talk) 08:58, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to believe this ad for growth supplements, Joe Theisman is barely 6' and Sonny Jurgensen is "even shorter than that". According to our own article on Eddie LeBaron, he is 5'7" and is the shortest quarterback to ever be in the ProBowl, although that statement doesn't have a source. Also, he hasn't played since the 60s, so he's not current... Google has a number of other hits for "shortest quarterback". Dismas|^(talk) 10:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Drew Brees and Troy Smith are both listed as 6 feet even, but I doubt that's actually the case. Tomdobb (talk) 13:21, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers), a frequent all-pro and probably one of the better wide-outs in the league is listed at 5' 9". As with nearly every pro athlete, he's probably shorter than this. If you watch Panthers games, he is about a full head shorter than most of his teammates. The top of his helmet comes up to the chin of several of his offensive linemen. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 13:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Smith's teammate DeAngelo Williams is also listed at 5'9"... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 13:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hall of Famer Darrell Green was only 5'9", but is still considered one of the best defensive backs to ever play the game. He retired in 2002. --Xuxl (talk) 17:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Darren Sproles is who you're looking for. The article goes as far as to claim he is currently shortest in the NFL at 5'6./Coffeeshivers (talk) 20:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sinorice Moss is under 6 feet.--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 02:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, cory ross, who was in the league as of the 2007-2008 season with the Baltimore Ravens, is 5'6". He is currently a free agent. The Reader who Writes (talk) 03:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is odd. I type cory ross into the search bar, and there is an article, but I link to it and the article doesn't exist. Anyone know how to fix that? Thanks The Reader who Writes (talk) 03:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seems to work if you capitalize Cory Ross properly. I think your problem is that even though the search bar checks for capitalization automatically, an actual link doesn't. (Which makes sense, because there are articles that have identical names, except for the capitalization.) -- Captain Disdain (talk) 07:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Michèle Rosier (French film maker) the same person as Michèle Rosier (fashion designer?)

Is Michèle Rosier, the fashion designer, journalist, founder in 1963 of the fashion brand V de V, and daughter of the journalists Pierre Lazareff (1907-1972) and Hélène Gordon-Lazareff(1909-1988), definitely the same person as the French film director and screenwriter with the same name b. 1930?

If she IS the same person, then I need to give her a separate entry of her own. If they are definitely two separate people, then I can probably leave my Michele as part of the V de V (fashion brand) entry. Thanking you very much in advance. Mabalu (talk) 13:23, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you have that last paragraph backwards ? StuRat (talk) 13:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, probably. It IS a rather dreadfully put together paragraph... sorry about that. Anyway, I'd appreciate knowing whether the two Rosiers are one and the the same, or two different people with one name in common. Mabalu (talk) 13:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find much information about Rosiers, but it seems the two are the same person. A press release for Ah! La Libido [1] and allocine.com say (in the exact same words) that she was a journalist and clothes designer before becoming a film director. --Maltelauridsbrigge (talk) 16:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you star!! That's good enough for me, they MUST be the same person then. Thank you so much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mabalu (talk • contribs) 17:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's "Adelante" by Sash!. Fribbler (talk) 18:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Band name?

I forgot the name of a Irish, Welsh or Scotch band of around 4-5 grown men and a 15-year-old who auditioned to get in. The tend to sing slow a capella songs. I visited the article page here on Wikipedia, but I have nothing to jog my mind to whittle down the pages to search. Has anyone got an idea? - Mgm|^(talk) 20:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it Celtic Thunder? --LarryMac | Talk 20:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. Thanks for the speedy response. I'll put that in my reading pile so I won't lose the link again. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:15, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Woo hoo! I didn't have a clue, but I searched "celtic a cappella 15 audition" and one of the snippets on the second page of results led me to the name. :-) --LarryMac | Talk 20:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
