Comment: Would prefer this to be run on Sept. 8 (beginning of 2022 NFL season) or Sept. 11 (first Sunday of the season when most Week 1 NFL games will be played). If that's not possible, that's okay with me.

2 cents. The proposed hooks will divert the vast majority of hits to Feagles or Koch. My suggestion is: alt 2 ... that the National Football League record for career punting yards is more than 41 miles (65 kilometers)? (Feagles holds the record with 71,211 yards --> 41.08 miles/65.11 kilometers) IMO that's more likely to draw hits. Cbl62 (talk) 16:31, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do like that as an ALT2. Would go with that one if others think it's better than the ALT0 and ALT1. Soulbust (talk) 04:45, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
