On Fridays in the Wall Street Journal, for example, there’s a box under the grid with a final mission. Wall Street Journal crossword, 9 April 2021 A small echo of a clue from two weeks ago, where I had clued IDS as. The Women’s World Cup is approaching soon, starting on July 20. Just some NBA history from a longtime fan for you. Kemp was traded to the Cavaliers in 1997, Payton was traded to the Bucks in 2003, and the Sonics moved the franchise to Oklahoma City in 2008. That made this Bulls fan happy, but I had expected the Sonics would be competitive for many years to come and maybe return to the Finals. Those Sonics teams ran into some shocking first-round upsets (in 1994 against the Nuggets and 1995 against the Lakers) and then lost in the 1996 NBA Finals to the Bulls. Kemp and Gary Payton were the leaders of some really good Seattle SuperSonics teams in the 1990s in fact, they were my go-to duo when I played “NBA Jam,” even more so than my hometown Chicago Bulls.

I spent a while debating with myself whether I should clue this as the 2004 film in California wine country with Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh, but I chose a more generic path this time. I really wanted this show to be a crossword puzzle reality competition hosted by Stella Zawistowski, since that’s the same name as Stella’s puzzle blog and her new book. A great sports play for the former, a great theater play for the latter. 6D is ESPY and 90D is OBIE, both clued as.My wife thought of it when I was struggling to think of a clue and it made me laugh. My favorite clue today, and credit where due - I didn’t come up with it. I’d always assumed it was something like “doobity-doo,” but since the first two syllables of “doompadee-doo” rhyme with Oompa and Loompa, in retrospect it seems, well, obvious.
