Friday, August 20, 2021 - No STALEJOKE Here

Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

There was not a STALEJOKE to be found in today's grid. There might have been one at some point, but Will Shortz undoubtedly would've ULTIMATELY exercised his VETOPOWER to set things straight. There were lots of fun clues in today's puzzle, too many to list here, but we do have to give a shoutout to 48A, Superhero misidentification, ITSAPLANE, as well as acknowledge the two sporting sleights of hand, 3D, A's, but not B's or C's, TEAM, and 24A, Cowboys' headgear, HELMETS. Nice!!
It's Fun Fact Friday, and today we learn the inside story of Congo and Pierre Brassau. It's fascinating stuff, you won't want to miss, so download and listen up!
