This is fascinating! Certainly one of the better articles and hooks I've seen in a while. The hook sources all check out and are in the article, and there's a QPQ. It's a new enough GA, as well. I think this might be one of the more viewed DYKs in the month this gets posted. Perhaps this would be best run on an NFL Sunday...

Thanks
Raymie for the kind words. I like your idea; would the closer of this DYK please utilize this hook on a Sunday that the Packers play (Oct 6, Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 3 or Nov 10 would all work). « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 15:30, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
