Editing OK?: Yes

OK - let's see what comes up here, whether the jersey is bright red like I saw it in my CS2 or if it's more like what I saw in the original post...

And what I did was duplicate layer, select bottom layer (click off the eye on the top one) and brighten it up in a levels layer, pretty significantly. Merge those 2 bottom layers, then click on the top one and bring the eye back to see it. Make your eraser tool really small and soft, and erase the eyes, all over, at 15%. Then erase the iris and pupil of each eye again, at about 10%, but not the whites. Flatten that. Then I did a contrast bump, just a little, and a little USM. Not a major difference from yours, but the eyes are a little lighter.
