Clue/Question:  She hinted that her daughter should clean her room, but her daughter didn’t . . .

Answer:  PICK UP ON IT

(Some really great jumbling of the clue words!  No new words, but we have seen SCINEK as a jumble for “sicken” before!  And, probably as before, this was the one clue word that gave me trouble.  The answer letter layout was masterful.  No giveaway there, at all.  Nice little pun.  I don’t think it was all that difficult for most of you to get.  Especially, with Jeff’s great, illustrative cartoon!  Ain’t parenthood a hoot?!?!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The conversation about their careers showed that Montana and Namath were not . . .

Answer:  AVERAGE JOES

(Nice send up to the Super Bowl, guys!  Good likeness of Lucas Oil Stadium, too.  Both of these Joes are pretty iconic.  Namath, maybe a little more for his charisma and chutzpa, and Montana, for his overall success and likability.  I’ll be rooting for the Giants this evening.  The Pats have been tabbed the favorites, but there seems to be more people pulling for the Giants.  Giants fans can’t be too confident, though, because Bill Belichick is as crafty a coach as there has ever been, and Brady is probably as tough as he is talented.  In addition to those two individuals New England’s talented tight ends have also proven to be major game changers. Giants fans hope that Gronkowski won’t be a big factor today.  Hopefully, it’s a competitive match.  No one likes a lopsided, runaway game.

None of today’s clue words are new to the ralis95 database.  I didn’t struggle with any of them, though the jumbling was great.  Also, the answer letter layout did not give anything away.  Not all that tough, but fun!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
