King James Version

by George Barany

This Sunday-sized sports themed tribute was released shortly after a nationally televised event on the night of Father's Day 2014 (pictorial hint to the right). After completing the puzzle (spoiler), learn more about the some of the issues that it celebrates by clicking here, here, here, and here. Also, click here to enjoy a graphic that clearly illustrates 41- and 85-Across, which is a snarky rejoinder to this oft-cited bromide.

Click here (two pages) or here (one page, for those with good eyesight) to view or download the puzzle in PDF format; here to download it as a puz file; here to download it as an ipuz file [requires the free Puzzazz app to solve]; here to solve the puzzle interactively (thanks to Jim Horne); here for the solution. We thank Martin Ashwood-Smith, Steve Bachman, Todd Gross, Brent Hartzell, Martin Herbach, Ellen Ross, and Alex Vratsanos for test solving the puzzle in fast-breaking fashion.
