	Guess hockey really is way off most people's radar, or how on earh could 30% of players be missing Rangers - 2 current teams?

	Cool quiz. Probably the best I've ever done on a sports quiz. Thank you for the Colts/Colt .45s bonus.

	The third column served to extend my confusion over the American sports franchise system. I just don't understand how there isn't more protest at a team being moved hundreds of miles away to a completely different city with different fans. It doesn't exactly encourage brand loyalty. The only time anything similar has happened in the UK to my knowledge - Wimbledon moving to Milton Keynes - there was a complete furore over it, and that was only about 60 miles...

	The "Where they are now" column with the St. Louis and Cleveland Browns should say that the Cleveland Browns became the Baltimore Ravens, but a new team also called the Cleveland Browns was later created.

	@cmkeller: The Browns technically didn't move to Baltimore. The franchise was inactive for the 1996-1998 seasons after which it was reactivated for the 1999 season. The history (including all four NFL championships) remained in Cleveland. The Baltimore Ravens were legally an expansion team (the NFL's 31st team), even though they were permitted to retain the players that had previously played in Cleveland.

	The St Louis Browns became the Baltimore Orioles, that's what it is talking about. And yes the Browns did move to Baltimore, they just had a clause that let cleveland keep the name and franchise records.

	Just FYI, the Ottawa Senators exist again. Great quiz, though.

	Great quiz..imaginative...I am a baseball/hockey/NASCAR guy and my lack of interest in the NFL and NBA was exposed here...I appreciate the lesson in the history of the other leagues...Humbled in Texas.

	The Colt .45s aren't defunct. They're the Astros now.

	The Colt 45's are not defunct, they are just the Astros with a AAA roster
