[edit] Trimming

I am going to trim this article in order to keep the size down and add two subpages. Quadzilla99 15:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Correction I made three subpages. Quadzilla99 20:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sentences/statements removed in lieu of a source

"After the game John Mara expressed his sincere gratitude by stating simply "God bless Abe Cohen." " Google results with the phrase in quotes yields zero results that aren't derived from Wikipedia. Quadzilla99 15:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

The Giants of New York, Barry Gottehrer, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, NY, 1963 p. 123: Abe Cohen did not go unrecognized. Along with Morgan, Strong, and Danowski, the little tailor had saved the day and brought New York its first National Football League playoff championship. Len Grant summed it up best when he said, "God bless Abe Cohen." Revmoran 23:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Great work, it's back in with the appropriate source. Quadzilla99 10:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

I made a few edits, but very little had to be done. This is an exceptional piece of work, easily a good article. Might need a strong copyedit due to the sheer quantity of text. Well done; I threw in the {{ArticleHistory}} because I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this article. PhoenixTwo 02:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
