Molly Brown?[edit]

Though I'm sure she's a fine person, it's unclear what Torain's non-wikified purported classmate's name adds. Dadofsam (talk) 01:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake I found[edit]

From the article: He resided in the Montara Neighborhood before moving to Shawnee Mission during his high school years

Nobody moves to Shawnee Mission; there is no such place. There is a Shawnee Mission School District, a Shawnee Mission postoffice, and the old Shawnee Indian Mission. In the past, the term Shawnee Mission was sometimes hyphenated, indicating the cities of Shawnee and Mission. Trust me, there is no such place, and no one lives there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.70.157.191 (talk) 23:21, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture Mistake[edit]

The picture is of fellow NFL player DeAngelo Hall, not Torain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:85:4600:22E:A81B:1D26:66E8:310 (talk) 17:35, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
