The crossing I was worried about is SAHIB/BENNETT, the 26D clue can help if you don’t get the cryptic clue which is BENT wrapped around (“holding”) a NET.
Lots of fun! I agree with the other commenters - the cluing is terrific; I particularly liked the clue for AVERAGE JOE. I was slowed somewhat by reading the clue for PAMPERED as "Spoiled, like chicken" instead of "children". (In my defense, I'm waiting on new glasses!)
