• ... that after accepting the job of team physician for the Green Bay Packers in 1962, Dr. E. S. Brusky was not paid a salary for at least the first 9 years of his tenure with the team? Source: "Brusky wasn't paid beyond expenses for almost 10 years"

Moved to mainspace by Gonzo fan2007 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/E. S. Brusky; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article newly moved to mainspace, is long enough and with proper references. It was a short but interesting read. I'd say the "He was hired after another doctor, Mason LeTellier, gave a recommendation to Packers head coach Vince Lombardi while they were golfing" part also would've been an interesting hook, but the current one is fine as well and checks out with the ref. One minor thing to note is that the death date is given in the lead but nowhere to be seen in the article body (despite there being sources that confirm it).

  • Thanks Styyx, I added his death to the body of the article. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

@Styyx and Gonzo fan2007: I see the hook fact in the article and the citations. The reference claims unpaid almost ten years. Brusky wasn't paid beyond expenses for al most 10 years. I think we are safe to say at least 9. Bruxton (talk) 15:13, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
