No, this is a disgraceful exposure of someone who has fallen on hard times. Why would any of you think this to be appropriate for DYK??? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:00, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
I'm not at home in this part of Wikipedia, and am possibly not entitled to an opinion here, but I must protest too. Are the negative virtues ticked above all a DYK needs? Article not too old, not too short, not copyvio, etc? The article is sad — some BLPs are, because life sometimes is — I'm not complaining about the article — but putting it on DYK? And with that cold-hearted hook? Now imagine it was you, or a friend or relative of yours. Well? Is the hook still "interesting"? Bishonen | talk 23:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC).

- Write something better please. It's clear that the current hook is grim and unworthy, and in your position, you should know better. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:43, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Per the discussion at WT:DYK, we finally have an agreed-upon hook for this nomination, as follows:
- ALT6: ... that Jackie Wallace told the coach of the Los Angeles Rams to "kiss his ass" for failing to field him in Super Bowl XIV, his final NFL game?
So we just need somebody to verify it. Epicgenius? Gatoclass (talk) 16:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
