The New York Times Peter King-Themed Crossword Puzzle Commemorative Peter King-Themed Crossword Puzzle
Over the weekend, we were flooded with emails, texts, telegrams, and letters sent via Pony Express that made us aware of Sunday’s New York Times crossword puzzle, which was built around Peter King’s request in his column — the one that is occasionally about football — that he be in a New York Times crossword puzzle. Sigh.
As it just so happens, your weekly King eviscerator Drew Magary is unavailable today, so this PK-themed crossword puzzle will have to satisfy you until Drew’s MMQB breakdown drops tomorrow. We’ll post the answers in a few hours.

10. Land baron
12. Johnny Damon lookalike
13. Criminally melted candy
16. Extraneous urban asset
17. The perfect save
18. Alarming new fashion trend
19. Disturbing trend on I-95
DOWN
1. No room at the Inn?
2. Led NFL in smiles during 2008 season
4. Unknowable science
6. Crime committed by film companies
7. Favre?
8. Chain restaurant with coffee-flavored water
9. Ohio home of Toone P. Wiggins
11. Two wonderful?
14. Moniker for SI scribe Banks

Concrete Cyanide = too long for this crossword puzzle

Is Drew getting liposuction on his chin(s)?
October 26th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Drew is unavailable today? Getting his lapband tightened or loosened?

Too many football related clues. Needs more nutmeg and Jeter.

*head on desk*
This guy is so full of himself, he wants a NYT crossword puzzle reference? Sh*t, Presidents and Kings have not been mentioned, and yet this pompous horsefuckee gets one?

Also, I recall that movie from a few years ago that showed Bill Clinton and Jon Stewart doing crosswrod puzzles. Shame that those guys are going to have to mingle with His Loftiness

Awful as it was to give PK his own NYT crossword, I did notice some of the other answers in that puzzle. They included:
Bigmouths
Definer (of clutch I imagine)
Ate
Dunces
Fattest
Scum
Coincidence? Possibly a big underhanded FU from the NYT to PK? We can only wonder.

Drew’s in Minnesota to personally beat up Brad Childress into submission.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Drew’s hunting yesterday’s refs. Lofty mission.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:44 am
I’m having a hard time coming up with 11 and 9 letter words for Favre.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Drew can go fuck himself. He finally saw the bullshit that Favre put us Packers fans through in recent years. Oh, we’re driving down the field for a potential game winning score? Interception.

Sexy Monday?

What the???
King, Dungy, and some other loser think that tripping call on Harrison was blatantly wrong? GTFO! he went low and he missed, and his legs cut out number 92’s legs. that’s Tripping 101 yo! and considering he had a free road to Favre, I think it’s a perfect call, not like the weird pass interference on the steelers that was on the other side of the field and had no bearing on the play…..
The refs suck. Always have and always will. and Childress sucks more, which I think was the deciding suckage for the game. Woot!
October 26th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Awwwwww Drew is too busy bawling his eyes out. Now that his team’s Faustian bargain to acquire an impetuous, egomanical and turn-over prone mercenary to NOT LOSE GAMES has (predictably) blown up in his team’s stupid faces, he is only left with his shame and tiny penis to try and piece together whatever shreds of dignity may remain. Boo fucking hoo, Vikings. Remember Super Bowl IX? No? Neither do I, but the Steelers beat the Vikings then, too.

Drew’s taking care of his kids. Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with the Steelers.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:59 am
@Natrone Means Business: awesome handle.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:16 am
To recap:
1. Comment from someone named SteelerPride.
2. Obnoxiously wrong about an obviously bad call that went his team’s way.
3. Comment ended in “Woot!”
Can we lock this cat in a cage with Daniel Steele and let the best man win?
October 26th, 2009 at 11:22 am
I know way too many of these.

‘Nuff said. Hope they’re doing OK Drew.

this is a bit off subject, but did you guys notice that miles saustin looks like the retarded kid on the stargate movie
October 26th, 2009 at 11:49 am
You left out 26 Across:
FATTEST
October 26th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I’m pathetic. So far, I have just 4 filled out. I swear I read the PK shit every week, but am coming up blank on most of these…. which makes me as qualified to write a football column for SI as Peter King.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I got 9 on a quick scan of the clues. I’ll try again after I finish this here tasty sammich!

BONUS: Add up all those ACROSS and DOWN numbers to get the weight of King’s daughter.

16 Across: Favorite Sexual Position?
Answer: The Sweaty Land Baron. Hold the ankles, receiever does the wheelbarrow.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I had “The Sanchize” for 12 across before realizing that didn’t fit with the rest of the answers. It still hasn’t caught on like PK would like.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Is it sad that I just spent my entire lunch break finishing this damned thing?
\No, it’s the most amazing experience of my life.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Sexy Friday didn’t make one of the answers? Horseshit.
October 26th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I can only effectively do this puzzle during new epsiodes of House. I prefer to space it out so as not to be distracted from the maddening genius of Hugh Laurie.
October 26th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
One of the best games of the week and they assign Winter’s crew to the game? They’re the worst crew working games. Still can’t believe they got Rice’s sideline catch right…
October 26th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
as much as i hate favre, even i have to admit that this one time, the interception wasn’t his fault….i still got a good laugh about it when i saw it happen. favre’s TAINT record will never be broken
