Puzzle Description:

A lot of you may not know of him.He played in the N.F.L. from 1979 to 1986.He was a 2 time Super Bowl winner,quarterbacking the L.A. Raiders to Superbowl victories in 1981 & 84. I believe he was a Heisman Trophy winner as well.He is Jim Plunkett,known for the long bomb usually thrown to Fred Biletnikoff,who was famous for putting stickem on his hands. Sorry everyone i just couldn't get it solvable by logic alone.I tried ,honestly i did.

He's my favorite quarterback,and the Raiders are my favorite team,even though they suck now they use to be great at one time.

Edge logic in row 40 lets us dot R40C1-R40C3. Focusing on where the 10 clue can start (on the left) in row 40, we can use edge logic to eliminate places that the 10 clue cannot be (although we cannot dot these places). The 10 clue can be in columns 28-40. So R40C31-R40C27 will be filled in. The rest solves with line logic.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

this turned out really well. I really like how you drew the quarterback.

Thx Gator.

Thx Sarah,he was a little hard to do.The Raiders symbol is impossible unless you do it by itself or on a very big grid with the quarterback.Does anyone remember this guy?

Gator, do you mean R40C31-R40C37 will be filled in? Thanks for helping me get unstuck.

Aldege, this was great fun to solve.

I enjoyed this puzzle :D I solved it relatively easily using edge logic.
