Rabbit Keen
- ... that a rabbit once played for the Philadelphia Eagles? Source: Pro-Football-Reference.com - Keen was nicknamed "Rabbit"
- ALT1:
... that the Philadelphia Eagles once signed a rabbit? Source: same - Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Fletcher Loyer
- Comment: Hoping I can get this to the April Fool's Day queue. I've been waiting for this since August! We could even get more sillier by putting File:Oryctolagus cuniculus Rcdo.jpg as a photo (with it saying ... that a rabbit (rabbit pictured) once played...), although that might be too silly :)

Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Rabbit Keen; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article is new enough, long enough, and the nominator has completed a QPQ. Earwig does not alert, but BeanieFan11 uses many newspapers in their articles. The article is both new enough (3/25/23) and long enough (5717 characters). ALT0 is interesting, cited, and in the article; and the hook might only work as an April Fools hook since it is an Egg. ALT1 does not work since (from my reading) he was only named Rabbit once he got to the pros, therefore they did not sign a rabbit. The article has the correct inline citations throughout and is neutral. Good work. Bruxton (talk) 16:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Possible April Fools hook. Bruxton (talk) 16:23, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Yes, that's what I was hoping for. BTW, what do you think of my image suggestion? Too silly? :) BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- No image slot available. And the image may be a bridge too far. Bruxton (talk) 16:28, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ok. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:30, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Would you be open to a mashup for April Fool's Day? We have a hook that has been proposed for a very long time that needs a mashup partner, and I'm wondering if Rabbit is the one. So basically, it would look something like:
- ALT1: ... that a rabbit played for the Philadelphia Eagles – "as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame."?
- If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm not entirely sure it's fair on the mashee to be honest. Plus football-baseball is kind of odd. But since you were asking about April Fool's and we have one slot left, I thought I would ask. Cielquiparle (talk) 21:58, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle: I'd be fine with that. Though maybe remove the quotes (... that a rabbit played for the Philadelphia Eagles – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame?) BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:14, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
