    I started off my New York Times crossword puzzle this morning, and lookie what 3-Down's clue is:

    3 R. F. K. Stadium Team

    It's eight letters, so NATIONALS doesn't fit.

    -G. Rex

    PS - Gee, even on a Sunday, you probably couldn't get a grid big enough for NEWYORKNEWJERSEYMETROSTARS. Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

    Unless they are about 10 years behind the times and it's REDSKINS.

    See, this is why cryptics are better, you'd have the secondary confirmation on

    MESSED CUE DIDN'T MEAN RFK STADIUM TEAM (8).

    And you know it would be United. Or you'd have

    SPANISH GENTLEMEN HAVE AT RFK STADIUM TEAM (8)

    and you'd know it was another team... Makes life so much easier.

    If you're giving the answer to today's crossword puzzle, don't we need an [R] in the thread title? ;)

    More publicity in the NYT, but not the crossword. From an article on some school in Seattle in today's paper. It's pretty obvious, but just in case, check out the shirt of the kid dead center:

    People bash DC United marketing and MLS marketing in general. Here it is obvious that DC United marketing has a product placing person who know what she/he is doing.

    Gunnersaurus sent me a copy of the puzzle and I believe if 1 across is StDenis then DCUnited does fit for 3 down.

    See for yourself.

    That teacher is NOT setting a good example. She should be taking off her shirt too.

    I did the puzzle this morning on my way home through the Frankfurt Airport. Combination business trip/recon for next month.

    DCU is the answer. :)
