15. Eldrick "Tiger" "Cheetah" Woods
18. Jai-alai
25. Dennis Rodman...need I say more?

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

18. I'm sure Jai Alai is correct, but when I saw it I immediately thought of UofA softball. Play ball is announced before each home game as "Juegen pelota", and the same 2 Linda Ronstadt songs, both entirely in Spanish are played, one before the first batter and one before the first batter of the 2nd half of the 1st inning.

Just some misc. trivia, and there is no great meaning - it is just a 19 year tradition.

[rbny1]

24. I believe he was one of the first to jump from a plane with a parachute. Years later, D.B. Cooper jumped from a plane with a parachute and a bag of cash and may still be out there somewhere enjoying a life of wealth and leisure. Just thought I'd mention that since we're talking about parachutes.

some other Maria Theresa.

14..Rhymes with an important holiday.

21..This "X" refers to a movie label.

22..Sno-____

18. I'm sure Jai Alai is correct, but when I saw it I immediately thought of UofA softball.

Is that UofA Ariz or Ala or..?

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

22 - Sno Caps, thanks to the clue

and U of A is Arizona - a softball program comparable only to UCLA historically, but struggling (relatively) the last couple of years.

 

[pinotbear]

21. well, with the clue, one might guess either "Deep Throat", or perhaps "The Devil in Miss Jones".
