	Some of these are damn hard. Wouldnt of gotten Umberger or Dumont in a million years. Fun quiz though.

	@mlbnflwhiz - Id rather keep the quiz with players people have heard of , not 3rd string RB's..besides DJ Ware's name is Danny..I wanted to add guys like CJ Spiller and TJ Houshmandzadeh but they only have 1 name as well.

	Wow, I got DJ Augustin but missed Burnett lol. I think the only ones that I actually knew without just randomly thinking of guys with initials were Redick and Drew though.

	BJ Upton's name is Melvin Emanuel Upton, BJ stands for Boss-man Jr because his dad (The Boss-man) used to work for an MLB team and he would visit the clubhouse. That would be a good one to add to really throw people

	ABarrett1124:	Feb 17th, 2011 at 22:18 GMT		2 points
	@pgrossma...thats funny you mention Upton cause I was going to add him but didnt cause I figured BJ was more of a nickname rather then initials..it for sure would of threw people off.

	CC and AJ were the only ones I got without thinking. Ive actually heard CC reffered to as Carsten Charles on a few Yankee broadcasts. The rest of them were real tricky though. Especially the ones that arent the exact initials.

	CelticsBruins080:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 03:52 GMT		4 points
	AJ Green is gonna be a good one preetty soon

	cac12698:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 04:17 GMT		3 points

	deluca171:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 04:55 GMT		4 points
	when ppl type in something like cc sabathia, that full name should be accepted. Just would make things alot easier

	amwoods13:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 05:09 GMT		1 point
	I figured OJ would be Atogwe, didn't think of Mayo.

	nowaybrah76:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 05:20 GMT		3 points
	its hard but the answers weren't too "out there" so I think it was a fair quiz.

	gopaladins:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 05:43 GMT		3 points
	"DA points" for some golf love (darren andrew)? jj hardy?

	chriskotx:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 06:05 GMT		-2 points
	I've heard of 3, maybe 4, of these people.

	actwentysix:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 07:28 GMT		4 points
	Of the 5 NBA players on your list, there's JJ, JJ, DJ, OJ, and CJ, and yet only OJ actually has a J as a second name.

	gttrsnp:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 10:31 GMT		1 point
	i spent about half this quiz wondering why it wouldnt accept JC Navarro (which it rightfully shouldnt have as it states big 4 sports)

	jaysee:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 12:56 GMT		2 points
	J.T. Snow and J.J. Hardy like this quiz.

	jvdawgs:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 14:03 GMT		2 points
	nice quiz. but jj hardy jt snow and dj williams should be included and maybe even tj ford

	rk559:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 14:08 GMT		-1 points
	Sabathia actually goes by "CC", not C.C., fwiw

	SportsQuizer:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 15:03 GMT		1 point
	add J.R Smith

	ABarrett1124:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 17:52 GMT		3 points
	For Smith , his name is Earl so J.R is a nickname so that doesnt work , for Hardy , I already had JJ Putz so didnt wanna have 2 JJ's. And for Snow I didnt include him cause he isnt active.

	getzlafisgod:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 01:23 GMT		2 points
	john paul losman

	jmwhitestripes12:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 01:38 GMT		2 points
	could use jj barea

	cuatrodosocho:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 04:17 GMT		2 points
	If you do decide to include "non-active" players, though... F.P. Santangelo would like a word.

	teh_DR:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 05:14 GMT		2 points
	Cool quiz. Not all obvious, which is surprising if you've only ever heard these athletes only called by their "initials" name.

	vikingsfan28:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 17:29 GMT		1 point
	Wait isnt hickson jj?

	mlbnflwhiz:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 22:36 GMT		2 points
	interesting how many guys go by nicknames that arent initials like ware and spiller and housh

	midlifecrisis:	Feb 21st, 2011 at 20:58 GMT		0 points
	Am I missing something or shouldn't there be OJ Simpson on the list?

	fcogcommish:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 23:10 GMT		1 point
	Actually, I found a few of these rather deceiving. For instance, JJ Redick are the initials he is known by (the name of the quiz) and it does not relate to his middle name. Wikipedia notes his twin sisters kept repeating his first initial and that's how he got the nickname. Having said that, there are some really great names in here and a few obscure ones.

	dt022:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 23:24 GMT		1 point
	You should add JP Losman... he is Jonathan Paul.

	Five sporcle globes for including RA Dickey!

	Seldini:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 13:18 GMT		2 points
	Lol this quiz wrecked me. I kept trying PK Sam, a practice squad player from the Patriots from about 6 years ago, epic fail.
