Clue/Question: After he scored the winning touchdown, the wide receiver told his opponents – – –
Pre-Answer: Four Words (1-letter ‘ 2-letters) (5-letters) (3-letters) (5-letters)
Answer: I‘LL CATCH YOU LATTER
(I had a little trouble with this one! Not the clue words. I got all of them automatically. None of them were new, but five of the jumbles came up as new. We’ve definitely seen “yalsaw” before! The answer letter layout was an excellent jumble, that did a great job of hiding the answer . . . from me. I knew the first word had to be I’LL, but I thought the third word was THE. It wasn’t until I was trying to figure out the remaining letters, ACAORCULTY, that I saw YOU. So, when I added back the T,H, and E I saw LATER . . . and finally CATCH. I guess Jeff drew this one about a month ago, as he has the Cowboys in it. Nope. It’s Hot-Lanta! And, the Falcons are going to soar . . . and score at will tonight. I received a sign, around noon, that tells me that we might see overtime in SB-LI. It’d be rare, but it could happen. If it does happen . . . yalsaw it here first! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
Yes, clue words were quite easy! I did not have much trouble with the solution because I used the “verb” clue….grabbed=caught=catch! Falcons ahead 21-0! I think you are right!
Stunning Patriot comeback.
I had trouble with the answer as well. I got THE, but that was about it. The clue words went pretty quickly, and I was hoping to get the puzzle answer quickly as well, but I don’t normally have much time to do the Sunday Jumble. And with the SB on, it’s another thing going on to distract me.
And at the time I’m writing this, Hot-Lanta went to Cold-Lanta in the second half and now is known as the team that blew the largest lead in SB history in a loss.
Your sign about overtime was correct! As was my prediction of the winner. Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T! Go Blue!
Plptptptpt! Can’t stand either one of those SOBs! LOL! — YUR
PS. You still had the wrong losers, Jeff! LOL!
Everything REALLY started to go south right after Ryan’s “fumble”. And, other than Edelman’s freakishly lucky catch, The Pats really did nothing spectacular in their comeback. Just a very methodical, workman-like determination to persevere. I hate them, but I have to hand it to them at the same time. — YUR
Love, love, love the “yalsaw” it here first” comment!!! I was actually pulling for the Pats, the husb for the Falcons. Not sure why. He kept giving me reports of all the Falcon scoring, then it got very quiet. Woot!
When I speed through the Sunday jumbled words, I generally get hung upon the puzzler answer. I got I’LL and YOU immediately and culled out the remaining letters. There was CATCH! Had it.
Grand cartoon!
Take care! LL
