I don't think a punter should hold the consecutive games record.... Real men play on the d-line.
Marshall would still hold the record if you counted playoff games, or preaseason games. He played more seasons than Feagles, but the NFL only played fourteen game seasons from 1961-1977, and only played 12 in his first season, 1960.
He still holds the record for consecutive starts by any player however with 270. Stylteralmaldo (talk) 21:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose since he also played Canadian football. —innotata 08:25, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He played Canadian football for one season out of a 21 year career. I wasn't even aware of the fact he had spent any time in the league, because he is not remembered for his time in Canadian football. To me, it seems undue to factor in his time in the CFL and give it equal weight with his time in the NFL, which lasted 20x longer. Lepricavark (talk) 13:50, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support He played 20 of 21 years in American football. 19 of those years were with the Minnesota Vikings in the US, who honored him by retiring his No. 70. His notability is not for his brief stint in Canadian football. Moreover, hardly anyone in the US is too familiar with the term gridiron football, so it's sensible to avoid the term for primarily American topics, when feasible. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople) aside, this is exactly the scenario where Wikipedia:Five pillars advises: "Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time."—Bagumba (talk) 10:55, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (sportspeople). I don't feel strongly about this case, but the guideline is directly on point and expressly states that a player who has played professionally in both the US and Canada should be designated as here. As for whether "gridiron football" or "American football" is a more commonly used term in the US, neither is really commonly used, as the game is simply known as "football" in the US. I suspect that most football fans in the US know that the sport is played on a field known as the "gridiron". In fairness, notice of this move request should also be provided at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canadian football. Cbl62 (talk) 13:33, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm a believer in majority when it comes situations like these. He played all but 1 season in the NFL.--Rockchalk717 16:34, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Much more recognizable disambiguation. "Gridiron football" isn't really even an umbrella term anyway.--Cúchullaint/c 14:19, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support He is much more well-known for his American football career. Lizard (talk) 15:18, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support – disambig. terms should be intuitive. The current one isn't. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:11, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

is that what happened in the famous wrong-way run? In 2018 pre-season, Kiko Alonso was spun around, and headed the wrong way (to the other team's sideline). Carlm0404 (talk) 22:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
