Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 3, Day 3
Announcements here as needed.
Announcement #1 -- R3D4 will be delayed, and I don't know for how long. Doctors want to take some pictures of my gall bladder in the morning, and I don't know how long it will take or when (or if) they'll let me come home afterwards. And even if tomorrow goes off without a hitch, further delays are possible in the next week or so.
However it turns out, and however long it takes, I am committed to completing the full regular season and the TOC. Whenever it gets posted, the next "official" day of the SHC will be counted as R3D4. In the mean time, feel free to play amongst yourselves.
Thank you for your patience.

Re: Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 3, Day 3
ATHLETES OF THE 80s
2: A Boston Celtics scout called Len Bias “the best player I've seen since” this North Carolinian, then in his second season with the Chicago Bulls.
4: The last starting pitcher to be named league MVP, this Boston Red Sox pitcher won the first of his seven Cy Young Awards in 1986.
6: This 1983 NFL MVP, who in college changed his name to rhyme with an award he wanted to win, broke his leg on Monday Night Football in 1985.
8: One of the two NHL players who scored 199 or more points in a season during the 1980s who later went to on to own a team.
10: Now the US team doctor, he won gold in every speed skating event contested at the 1980 Winter Olympics.
OPERA
3: This Rossini title character planned to kill Gessler with the second arrow had the first arrow missed its target.
6: The title character in this Mozart opera, the sequel to The Barber of Seville, is the personal valet to Count Almaviva.
9: As this Verdi opera opens, the title character professes his love for two married women.
12: Prior to the events of this Strauss opera, Dr. Falke had been abandoned by Eisenstein in the center of town, drunk and dressed as a bat.
15: In “The Elixir of Love” by this composer of "Lucia de Lammermoor," the title substance turns out to be nothing more potent than regular wine.
