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 &#124; talk 23:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC).
 * "Disgraceful exposure"? Have you read this? – Muboshgu (talk) 00:26, 17 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)
 * There is absolutely nothing wrong with this hook. No BLP violation, nothing inappropriate at all. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:37, 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?


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg So we just need somebody to verify it. ? Gatoclass (talk) 16:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
