I was slow on the uptake with some of the longer answers. Also, how long ago as this puzzle written? SAN DIEGO CHARGER has been dated for a while now. The premise of a PURSE containing four items is a bit strange. All I know is this theme has me imagining all the things it left out. If this were 'Family Feud' and we were doing 'Things Found In a PURSE' I have to imagine the most popular answers list would look a little different, and might include, among other things: wallet, credit cards, lipstick, lip gloss, tampons, snacks, phone. They're fine, they're certainly PURSE items, but 'change' strikes me as odd (ROSANNE CASH might've been a better answer there, in that it's a broader, more inclusive term-seems like carrying around 'change' (like, the metal kind, which I assume is what was meant) is probably increasingly rare. Also, it's a pretty arbitrary assortment of PURSE things. One of those 'last words'-type themes you see all the time, with nothing special to recommend it, i.e. Not a lot of fun to move through just sloggy. Not hard, but choppy and odd, w/ alt spellings like SLUE and weird partials like AGOAT and insane parsings like THE space O, plus a very segmented grid and no answers longer than seven letters outside the themers. Just couldn't move through the grid easily at all. I'm a bit tired and I've had a drink, but even so, I don't think that accounts for how slow I was today.
