That would be me. I couldn't remember if I'd submitted or just thought of doing it!
Thanks for clueing me in so I can definitely rule it out. Not surprised it was wrong -- wasn't anywhere near as fun & groany as I knew it should be.
Will keep on playing.....

I think you solved it before he went back and added asterisks.

If I published some of my past feedback, I might need to add even more asterisks.

I misread the prompt. I thought it said, " a sports team repeatedly illustrated in the grid. Despite that, I submitted a scattrershot PM of an answer that close enough for MikeyG to put me on the board.

Will there be any spoilers for those of us who don't know how it starts?

It was a quick revamp after I realized it might be too hard without them. (I'm nice...sometimes.)
