This "mid-week level" sports-themed puzzle is a sequel to Start Spreading the News; in fact, the two puzzles share an answer key!  The main difference is that a few of the clues have been changed to reflect the outcome hinted in the photo at the right.  After completing the puzzle (spoiler), you may learn more by clicking here, and also enjoy watching this short video.

Sabina Brukner and Michael Hanko, neither of whom is much into sports, both test solved this puzzle and found it to their respective likings. A final reading by sports buff Martin Herbach sharpened a few of the clues.
