Got a confirmation with a submission that was partly a guess. I'll come back later to figure out the rest of the story.
Edited: Got the rest of the story. Bonne idee, Pierre.

Off the couch. Pretty much fell off. I'm sure there is more to the mechanism than I saw. Will be interested to see. Thanks, Peter!

I’m off the couch! Good one!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Off the couch. Great way to start the week.
Although do have an issue with the answer to 1A.....
- wrong team
- it's a stretch to say that they play football. (btw, true for the other team too....they can't even lose to get a better draft pick, smh).

OTC. I made a correct guess based on circumstantial evidence. Now to figure out the path that I should have taken! I may have posted before, but as a former math teacher, I consider myself lucky that I did not have to show my work!
OHHH! There it is.
Nice one!!
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

OTC
but no idea why.
I'm guessing some genre I know nothing about!
Thanks, Peter -- always fun to do a puzzle anyway -- and get a boost when Crosshare tells me I'm correct.

I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.
