I was thinking the "netminder" could be a fisherman (or -woman), which biased how I dealt with the top left corner: when I saw the third word was A, the biting comment became a DIs, and the Spanish "that" became ESe (one of the other two Spanish endings for said demonstrative pronoun), ultimately leaving me with seALIE and making me believe "sealie" might be a slang term for someone who works on a boat. Luckily it was the only questionable word I had when the site told me I wasn't done yet, and once I thoroughly considered my other options on the Spanish word, DIG and GOALIE fell into place.

I didn't have a problem with it, but the McDonald's name for the breakfast sandwich is McGriddles, always with an S, for reasons I couldn't tell you. Nothing official (menu, packaging, advertising) ever has it singularized.

After filling in the bottom four crosses, I had smuCKER for a second for the grocery store surname, but gave up on that because I doubted the pool wear would end with U. I was stuck on the top left for a good little bit, until I considered the possibility that EEP could fill in that B___S space, which got me to SPEEDO, then to TVSET and CROCKER, to VENEER, to TREETOADS and SEEDMONEY, which took care of TENREC for me and got me through just under the 20-minute wire.
