QUESTIONABLE
64A LADALMATIAN "Tennis player's canine" should probably be NADALMATION since I got the "handle" clue wrong a couple of puzzles ago. It should probably be ANSA. Which makes the tennis player Raoul Nadal. Aha. Thanks, Google.

CORRECTIONS
Thanks, Howard for this: "99A should be "N": sculptor (and furniture designer) Isamu Noguchi, actresses EriN Gray and EriN Moran."
And here's a correction from Smartiepants1: 20A "Wild speech" should be RANT, giving you ENS for 6D "Printer's spaces".

QUOTE: "BETTING IS PRETTY MUCH LIKE LIQUOR. YOU CAN MAKE IT ILLEGAL, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UNPOPULAR."

QUESTIONABLE
89A OGLALA? and 89D OYS ?

CORRECTIONS
After checking on Google: 102A   _______ avis should be: RARA rara avis n., pl. ra·ra a·vis·es or ra·rae a·ves (râr'ē ā'vēz). "A rare or unique person or thing," and 93D French river should be: GARONNE

Noted by "smartiepants1": "63A "Islamic Prayer Leader" should be IMAM, which then gives you IMRE for 63D "Nagy of Hungary," and 66A "Kernel's Coat" is TESTA, which gives you PORTE for 46A "___-cochere (sheltered entrance)".
