... that "Cave Man Kenny" was a "fast-charging, hard-hitting" "ubiquitous" "obstreperous iron man"? Source: nickname, obstreperous iron man, fast-charging, hard-hitting
- ALT1: ... that Cave Man Kenny was a fast-charging, hard-hitting ubiquitous obstreperous iron man? Source: same, without the quotes
- ALT2: ... that Ken Moore had "dependable shoulders"? Source: "much dependence will be placed on his dependable shoulders"
- ALT3: ... that "Cave Man Kenny" had "dependable shoulders"? Source: same, but with the nickname
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Buccaneers–Packers rivalry
- Comment: Combining several newspaper descriptions of him and his nickname for ALT0 and ALT1. ALT2 is another newspaper quote while ALT3 is the same with his nickname. Each is probably a good quirky hook. Preference for ALT0/ALT1 but ALT2/ALT3 would be okay as well.

Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:08, 7 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ken Moore (American football); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Even better, ALT0 could be ALT4 ... that "Cave Man Kenny" was a "fast-charging, hard-hitting" "ubiquitous" "obstreperous iron man" with "dependable shoulders"? / ALT5 ... that Cave Man Kenny was a fast-charging, hard-hitting ubiquitous obstreperous iron man with dependable shoulders? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I like ALT5! Zanahary (talk) 01:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The hook and article both look good to me, I guess we'll leave it up to the promoter to decide whether the quotation marks are used or not. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added Midwest Football League (1935–1940) players cat.
Added many other cats.
No date for the picture I presume?
- Added c. 1937.
  - How'd you get 1937? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:31, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - The newspaper I clipped it from was in 1937.
      - That doesn't necessarily mean that's when the pic was taken. I just removed the date. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Early life and college career" remove career. I've been removing that recently when it's combined with the early life section. It's a little wordy.
- Removed.
What are "All-Opponent teams"?
- Some teams back then would make 'All-Opponent' teams, which was a like an All-America except the players were from teams they had played against in the season. Any suggestions on how to clarify?
  - A note with a ref of some sort would be good. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:31, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - Added a note. Does that work @WikiOriginal-9:? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:56, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No details on when he served in the Navy I guess?
- None found.

That's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 13:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
