Bud Lea
- ... that even though he read Bud Lea's articles "religiously", Vince Lombardi often made the sportswriter's job difficult whenever he was interviewed? Source: "While Lombardi religiously read Lea's coverage before starting his work day, he never made it easy on him at a time when the Milwaukee writers often had to interview the coach by telephone."

- the article was moved to main March 19, it is 4851 characters and it was nominated the same day so it qualifies for DYK. The article is neutral and has the correct inline citations. Two QPQs have been completed to assist with the backlog. The hook is interesting to an audience that knows American Football and might have enough to interest other readers. The hook is cited in the article at the end of the sentence. For promotors, the second part of the hook is supported by "Lea noted that Lombardi was the most challenging person he covered, often providing short answers or not answering at all" in the article. I do not find evidence of plagiarism and the article has a free pic of Bud Lea which could be used if a promotor wanted to use it. Bruxton (talk) 18:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
