Wordplay (2006): Mike Mussina Solves Crossword Puzzles

The clip mike mussina solves crossword puzzles from Wordplay (2006)

Hey, Merl, this is Will. Are you there?
I think this is probably a Tuesday rather than a Monday.
Uh, but that's perfectly fine.
And you know, if you'd, uh, um, want to send me a few clues that are slightly harder...
so I can run this on a Tuesday, that's great.
But really, this is just, uh it's just great work.
And, uh, so the answer is yes. Turn off your plans to do another puzzle.
And, uh, I'll talk to you later. Bye-bye.
Uh, this is a Merl Reagle, and he's very, very good.
He's one of the very best constructors. But this is a waste of his talent.
He should be a Friday and Saturday guy 'cause he's really so clever.
Using Reagle on Tuesday is like using Barry Bonds in Little League.
His on-base percentage now is better than. 560.
Little will argue now that he's the game's best player.
Three balls, two strikes and one out.
Here's the pitch from Mussina. Swung on and missed! Strike three!
Mussina strikes out Bonds.
Pitching is probably more than 50% mental and the rest being physical.
I think I first started doing 'em in college.
The school paper actually had a puzzle in it.
And that's how we got started working on 'em.
And, uh, at the beginning, obviously, uh, I knew very little, and it was hard for me to do.
And you just have to keep doing 'em. And it's been now 15-plus years.
And now, uh, I try to do one as often as I can.
A brilliant performance by Mike Mussina.
A complete-game shutout. Yankees win 5-0.
Well, every time I go out on the mound, I want to finish the game.
It only happens occasionally, and those games are really special.
Puzzles can be the same way. You can go through it to a certain point...
and then you bring in help from behind you to help close it out.
Those days are fun too. Sometimes we'll sit down as a group...
