Nikil, I'm not working in firefox today so here goes the editor's feedback...

Great article! I tweaked your headline and teaser (I inserted the players' full names into the headline and your full name in the teaser). I also made some stylistic changes and separated your paragraphs. Also, if you could check over the font...it is coming up small on my computer. Make sure everything checks out to your liking and only keep what you like—keep up the good work!
