he does look like a goodfella - anon. --71.143.21.7 02:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Is it too much to ask for the number of Riley's wins? And "winningest" isn't a word except in a sportscast. Trekphiler 21:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
No, winningest is a word. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/winningest --74.129.250.67 20:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm the one who added the sentence about his hair. -Amit --67.22.216.150 06:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
You can see how many games he has won here, though the number will change as season progresses.
I have a question too, was he born in Rome, New York? Other sources say he was born in Schenectady, New York. -222.4.16.15 08:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
He was born in Rome, New York. I'm his son, so I'm not going to edit the page as that's against Wikipedia policy. Born in Rome, New York, raised in Schenectady, New York. Thalagyrt 19:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Doh, forgot about the editing thing... Just removed a small thing about golf. Anyway, yea, he very very rarely goes golfing, so saying that it's something he often enjoys is totally incorrect. Mrs. Riley never ever golfs, so I don't know where the wife golfing thing came from. Thalagyrt 00:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding my two recent edits: Sigma Nu and Height
Height's obvious...
Sigma Nu - he pledged during his freshman year, however he never actually joined. The frat was shut down that year on that campus due to an incident with them all pouring horse manure on a group of sorority girls. It wasn't until he became famous that they decided to make him a "member," however he isn't an actual brother and never joined. They use his name as advertisement, he's even listed in the book of all brothers despite not being one, and they send us mail regularly asking for donations, but he's by no means a member of the frat by choice, so I removed that bit of trivia. 76.109.244.184 (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] June 6th/20th
"As reported by many players of the Miami Heat after they won the 2006 NBA Finals, Riley told the team on June 8 (the day of the first Finals game against the Dallas Mavericks) that they would win the championship on June 20. This prediction ended up coming true after the team took the series in 6 games on the 20th."
He actually did say that to the team. He also packed only one suit for the last trip to Dallas. Also I don't know where people get the golf idea, that's something he doesn't do.
If any Wikipedia editors see this and want verification of my identity, my Wikipedia username is User:Thalagyrt, email is jriley ]at[ betaforce ]dot[ com - I just can't be bothered to sign in right now. No page but an editor should be able to find a way to reach me through there.
