This week's puzzle is by Mike Shenk titled "OUT OF BOUNDS".

the answer to this week's contest crossword is an NFL player whose number was retired.

Good luck to all in getting the meta and the mug

On shore, as well. A fun meta, for sure.

Also ashore. Will say no more for fear of spoilering.

Ashore. Had to do more Googling than I generally like for a meta, but not nearly as much as for some of the recent MGWCCs, so it could've been worse. Football isn't my forte. Fun one though!

My two weeks of hanging with Isaac have finally come to an end. On shore. Does the tiki bar serve egg nog?

I'm definitely on shore, but I feel like I missed a shortcut...

On shore. We don't really follow football but this was a fun meta. Thanks Mike.

That was.....weird. But lots of fun. And I have a slight quibble with it that I'll talk about on Monday. But I'm on shore.

Quickly done, and brutally done. Had everything but one part of the meta for the longest time. Finally sussed it out.

Same as DBMiller; took way longer than it should have.
