Comments

• Boston College, and finally to linebacker. --> Boston College, then finally to linebacker.
  • Done.
• "Boston Patritots" -- spelling
  • Fixed.
• "of negative-13° F" -- two negatives here
  • Removed the dash – is that correct?
• By participating, Capp became the only person from Maine ever to play in the Super Bowl. this should be clarified that "prior to a certain year"
  • I changed it to By participating, Capp became the only person from Maine ever to play in the Super Bowl, a distinction he still held by 2016 – does that work?
• References:
  • All are appropriate for what is being cited
  • All are consistently formatted
  • Spot checks: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 all check out
