so does that mean you'll be at the Thanksgiving game? And what jersey/ hat will you wear. Since you don't know me that was a joke not a swipe at who you will be rooting for.

Steve,

Glad you liked the edits, I didn't do any of them though! ha I logged on to check it out and it had already been edited by two different people (I think Mosang Miles is the one that changed the headline); Anytime you got something you need looked at, just shoot me a message or e-mail and I'll be glad to get to it.

Steve,

To answer you question. What I removed in all those cases was the double spacing. When writing in AP or B/R style, you only use one space after a period.

Also, the first names were removed because in AP style, you only use a person's last name once they have been referenced once. If you added them back, that's cool too, it's ultimately your article, but those are the changes I'm required to make.

You have great writing ability though and the article had very few changes needed, other than the spacing. Keep the articles coming man!
