Thursday, January 18, 2024 - I before E, except after C, albeit science tells us that there might be exceptions 🙄

We'd like to say that the Michnovicz brothers have done it again, but since this is their debut NYTimes crossword all we can say is that they've done it! -- written a thought provoking puzzle that will test your spelling props like they've never been tested before (or at least since yesterday's puzzle). We cover most of the hot shot clues inside, but one we missed was 34D, Hot shot?, ESPRESSO; another, the very classy 59A, Jeremiad, RANT; and, perhaps the best of the bunch, 39A, Something that a ram and a Ram have in common, HORN 😀.Show note imagery: the Heisman Trophy, won back-to-back by running back Archie Griffin.We love feedback!
