Disclose Notes: Writer credit from Shaun Clancy, confirmed from Ed Silverman's payroll stubs for the work done. Paid $9.00 for the story (May 14, 2014) [as "Pigskin Puzzlers"].
The paycheck stub says it was for the "second cover" for this issue, which probably refers to the back cover which is a house ad for Bill Stern's Sports Book.
