 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article expansion is new enough and expansion is more than 5X.  The hook is interesting and sourced reliably to ESPN.  However, all of the citations are bar url's.  Per DYK rules, bare url's are not acceptable.  So citations have to be formatted properly. Cbl62 (talk) 21:20, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * The citation is now formatted properly, let me know if anything else needs fixing! Carwile2 (talk) 23:44, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Carwile -- The majority of the article's citations are still bare url's. See Supplemental DYK Rule D3: "References in the article must not be bare URLs such as http://example.com or  – according to Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 29. Many bare-URL references can be automatically completed with Reflinks."  These need to be fixed before this could be promoted. Cbl62 (talk) 16:02, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
