CARTOON ANSWER: THE QUARTERBACK’S PERFORMANCE WAS IMPROVING WITH – – –
AI DCE GA NY AS PSH = EACH PASSING DAY
Good Morning, Everyone! 🏈 DAY BY DAY….PLAY BY PLAY....🏈
Super Bowl Sunday! …And we’ve got ourselves a FOOTBALL Themed Puzzle!
I’ll be back….OK. Made 8 o’clock Mass and RAN BACK to TACKLE today’s puzzle…
🎶 I find that DAY by DAY, you’re making all my dreams come true..
So come what may, I want you to know…I’m yours alone, and I’m in love to this DAY…As we go through the years…DAY by DAY…🎶 “Day By Day” – Frank Sinatra 1946 https://tinyurl.com/yag2g8vc
🏈 It’s hard to remain PLACID if you’re a Football fan,
Today’s the day we party across our entire land.
Large screen TV’s, and every single phone and/or DEVICE,
Is tuned into the Super Bowl…it’s Footballs’ greatest vice.
We root with ABSURD passion, whether our team’s there or not
We bet on every single thing…for everything a pot…
Commercials make debuts and SPLASH our consciousness with thought,
The money involved mind-boggling…but still the slots are bought.
But if we’re seeing Jared Goff, there’s something quite amiss…
Sean McVay has the GOATEE, but the body? What is this?
The man is lean, and quite handsome, so I must NOTIFY
You guys out there…can I be wrong and 16’s not our guy?
The bottom line, a Quarterback is who is on display…
And he, we know aims going longer with EACH PASSING DAY🏈
Two of today’s words called for a second PASS: DEVICE and GOATEE…but upon COMPLETION…all the Early Birds SCORED well…
Today we’re out on a FOOTBALL Field. We see a man who kind of resembles Bill Belichick, the Coach of the New England Patriots, who are playing in today’s Super Bowl, being interviewed by a female Reporter. She’s asking about the QUARTERBACK and the “Big Game“. But then we see the Quarterback, who’s wearing #16, and PASSING the pigskin… JARED GOFF, the Quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, who are also playing today, wears #16. And those are LA Ram emblems showing on the jerseys…So..maybe the woman’s interviewing Stan Kroenke, the owner of the Rams, and it’s Sean McVay we see saying “Nice throw” to Goff? A little confusing, no? Is it just me? Am I the only one out here in the END ZONE with this? Well, whatever…We still can see our way DOWNFIELD to get to our solution…The Quarterback’s performance improved with…EACH PASSING DAY! Good one, David…You’ve SCORED once again!
Eye candy…There’s a 513 on the Football that’s waiting to be PASSED next to Goff. But what’s it stand for? Total SEASON POINTS for the Rams? No, that was 527. Goff’s Total Season PASSING YARDS? No, wasn’t that 483? I just don’t know…So I’m WIDE OPEN to suggestion…And I’m PICKING the Football, but I need an ASSIST…So, There you have it, Folks, Done! Have a great Super Bowl Sunday, Everyone! And PASS those Hot Wings! 🏈🙋🏻

Hi all – The only word I had to pause on today was GOATEE because the double letter trick failed on it and also on SPLASH. It seemed like the first word was probably EACH, and then when the cartoon showed (and didn’t use the word) PASSING, it was obvious.
Have a Super Sunday, everyone!
With all due respect to the other fine quarterbacks including Brady and Goff, and since they mentioned GOAT, as in “Greatest Of All Time”, it seems appropriate to me that the QB is wearing Joe Montana’s number 16, the man who won EVERY Super Bowl his team got him to, throwing eleven touchdowns with NO interceptions and was the first to win three SB MVP’s (which should have been four.) Yes, I’m biased, but I got to see every one of his games on our local TV.
“The judges had to NOTIFY the US Olympic committee that the bobsledder was disqualified at Lake PLACID for making the ABSURD decision to mount a hot air DEVICE on his sled to keep his GOATEE dry, causing a giant SPLASH in the water puddle that collected at the bottom of the run – a move that seems more ridiculous with EACH PASSING DAY.”
Uh…Yes, biased! 😉 Major 👏🏻👏🏻Kudos on your sentence! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anything on the 513? It just might be a college team…Have a good one, G…And enjoy the game. 🏈🙋🏻
Since Brady has been dubbed Goat,goatee was a given. Device and notify gave me reason to pause.Have a Super day on SB Sunday.
LOL! Funny segue on the GOATEE. Super day to you too, Prof! Enjoy the game! 🏈🙋🏻
It was so ABSURD that the normally PLACID school district created a SPLASH when the school board had to NOTIFY the principal to shave his GOATEE as it was seen as an unwanted DEVICE to attract attention.
👏🏻👏🏻 Major Kudos, Chuck. I like it…And you got a great take on it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Here’s to a good day, and enjoy the game! 🏈🙋🏻
Chuck: A different angle…🙋🏻
° With EACH PASSING DAY, he sat musing, stroking his GOATEE, and feeling ABSURD about having to NOTIFY his normally PLACID customers that the SPLASH boards they ordered were discontinued, and he kept trying to come up with some sort of distracting DEVICE…
Goatee got my goat this morning. Had to put the paper down and come back to it after a time out. Was able to get the cartoon answer without difficulty. I’m not a big pro football fan but family members are. My son-in-law went to Serra High School – Brady’s place and have cousins who went to Marin Catholic – Goff’s Alma Mater so will have folks rooting for different teams. Like Steve, I’m still a big Joe Montana fan. He has a home in my neighborhood and occasionally see him at our local Safeway. He’s one cool fellow.
As Wayne Walker used to say, “As cool as the other side of the pillow.” Wow, that’s the best name-drop I’ve heard lately! (Better than my wife seeing Tennessee Ernie Ford at her market.) I wonder if the Safeway plays special “songs from the ceiling” when he’s there, like “You’ve Got to Be A Football Hero…” 😂😂
I was wondering if you don’t mean Stuart Scott as the coiner of that phrase, Steve.
Could be, but I’ve never heard Stuart Scott. I heard Wayne Walker use it when he was the sports director at KPIX in SF and covering the Niners during their run in the 80’s.
How totally neat that your wife got to see Tennessee Ernie Ford. Was that in Oakland? I just loved “Sixteen Tons”. I am sorry that we lost Wayne Walker. He was suchg a good sportscaster. Actually, I don’t think Safeway makes any kind of a fuss when he’s there. One of the clerks told me that he just likes to blend in with the crowd – just a regular shopper like the rest of us – except for all those Super Bowl Rings and awards. Have a Super Sunday, Steve.
You too Betty! No, that was quite long ago when she lived in Woodside on the peninsula. Next time you spot Joe, take a peek in his cart and tell us all what he’s buying! 😂
Hey Betty…Love the Goat reference! Hope you’re enjoying the game! Have a great night! 👍🏻🙋🏻
