What the fuck difference does it make if Wiki is saying it? Fact is, Gates playing basketball in college is common knowledge . Just because you choose not to believe Wiki or any other source does not make it invalid.
Think for a moment how stupid you all are being. Gates been in the league for about 6 years now and has earned numerous Pro Bowl and All-Pro status and is easily considered the best TE in the game, and yet you guys just think he came out of nowhere. I mean it's ridiculous to think that in his SECOND YEAR, he earned First Team All-Pro honors and in doing so beat out both Witten and Gonzales, that there would be no mention of his background as to how he was an UFDA---like Romo, and then inquiries as to whether he played football in college and findinjg out that he didn't.
Gates playing basketball in college is not a big deal. Him not playing football in college and then walking on to a team as a UFDA and in his second year being a first team all-pro, is.
