I’m going on the record here: not a fan of this show. At. All. It’s quite possibly the most idiotic of the screaming talking heads sports shows. But, hey, credit where credit is due: the title is just screaming (get it?) to be made in a puzzle.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
*Most* idiotic? But Jim Rome isn’t even on it…
hArdcoreporn – not part of the theme ?????
IMO, including “Mel” in the OTT clue was TMI. “One of four athletes honored in 2006 by a 39 cent stamp” (http://www.stamps.net/Archive-13.htm) would have been much better but would probably bumped the puzzle up to hard. However, I really like the work that you are doing with OTT clues. Because of you, Mel Ott, may become the first person to have his entire life story told in crossword puzzle clues.
I guess you exercised cruciverbalistic license with the theme. The “HORN” is the one that is around the rest of the answer not vice versa as the theme implies. A theme description like “Torn Horn” would have be more accurate but would have disallowed the rant.
How about a theme “Cloven Hoof” for next Halloween?
The titillating clue in this XWP was SUZYQ with that stunning last 4-letter combi. GLT. She might have been in 52A. 19A Dontcha think it’s about time to ditch this name? ForensicTV or HoarderCentral would be more apropos. 53D Lemme guess – this P was constructed 4 days ago. The events in this political race are so mercurial. The SQPDL answers, I don’t think I’ve ever seen in any P.
Love the clue for the Metallica/Lou Reed collaboration. I tried to listen one of the tunes–just terrible.
Fun puzzle, though not a very pretty grid. Can’t wait for Monday.
