	Wide receiver.

	RSFan04:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 04:30 GMT		2 points
	Please accept "right defender" and "left defender"

	Designated Hitter. Even though they don't play defense, technically it is a position that has to be filled in the lineup.

	woowoo682:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT		8 points
	I before E, except after C.

	Brian:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 05:09 GMT		4 points
	Accept left/right tackle and left/right guard for Offensive Guard and Offensive Tackle.

	DSherman:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 05:12 GMT		23 points
	Blocking tight end is something a Tight End would do on a play. Teams don't designate one of their tight ends as blockers and another as a receiving one. And to Blackalicious up there, it's not except, it's accept. And a fullback is a different position than a running back. Lorenzo Neal, fullback, LaDanian Tomlinson, running back. It would be more correct if he put fullback and halfback though.

	Alright I made a several changes. If anything else needs to be changed lemme know.

	fatbeard:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 05:28 GMT		5 points
	Be consistent with answers. If you're looking for "first base" instead of "first baseman", you should accept "left defense" for "left defenseman". Although hockey defenders, are so rarely referred to as left and right, you might wanna just accept "defense"

	statephone:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 05:41 GMT		4 points
	kind of cool that three sports have a center and they do such different things.

	Craig:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 06:03 GMT		14 points
	I would not list holder as a position. Nobody is on the roster as a "holder", it's just something they do on top of their normal position.

	kraffcook:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 06:27 GMT		24 points
	Nose guard?? You mean Nose tackle? And should accept Inside Linebacker for Middle Linebacker, since that's what it is in 3-4 defensive schemes.

	conradmcmasters:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 06:49 GMT		4 points
	Only because there is outside LB and middle LB, I think inside LB should be included as well.

	Devil5231:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 07:09 GMT		7 points
	You ignored the DH comment when you made changes. I can see not counting it because it's only effective in the American League, but at the very least throw it in as a bonus answer. And probably just include it, it's still a position. Fun quiz though

	nose guard is actually nose tackle. halfback should work for runningback. split end should work for wide reciever. strongside linebacker, weakside linebacker, sam linebacker or will linebacker should work for outside linebacker. mike linebacker or inside linebacker should work for middle linebacker.

	swellwrench:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 11:21 GMT		5 points
	Nose guard is a position, but only on five-linemen sets, and he's really just a type of defensive tackle anyway. And yeah, inside linebacker definitely needs to be accepted - in 3-4 schemes there's really no "middle linebacker." Also, for the baseball positions it should probably be First BaseMAN, Second BaseMAN, etc, and also Left FieldER, Right FieldER, etc. (although the answers you have now should still be accepted). And fullback is one word.

	bigthree4life:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 12:25 GMT		-3 points
	should accept place holder for holder because there not called holders

	You definitely need to accept nose tackle for nose guard. You also need to add designated hitter.

	MRD:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 13:19 GMT		2 points
	I'm not sure if you know how to add alternative answers. If you want to accept left defense as an additional answer to left defenseman, just put the answer in your data as left defenseman/left defense.

	Jono_:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 14:25 GMT		6 points
	you need to accept "defence" for "defense". canadian spelling, but equally valid.

	prezuiwf:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 17:01 GMT		11 points
	You can't just accept "guard"? I know some people call it an "offensive guard" but there's no reason to since there's no such thing as "defensive guard." You wouldn't call someone an "offensive quarterback."

	prezuiwf:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 17:02 GMT		13 points
	Oh also, if you're going to have "fullback" in there, the other answer should be "halfback," or even "tailback" or "slotback," since a fullback is just a kind of running back.

	A running back can be either a fullback or halfback/tailback. It is MUCH more correct to accept Halfback rather than Runningback.

	nittanybluehen:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 20:54 GMT		-1 points
	easy

	rck5:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 00:01 GMT		3 points
	If you accept "holder", you should also add in "gunner". Several teams have guys who only work on kick coverage.

	paddy26:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 00:22 GMT		1 point
	If you're gonna say "left defenseman" you should say "left fielder". I know thats a little picky. Besides that great quiz.

	gmen10:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 02:52 GMT		2 points
	nose guard is a nose tackle, which is a defensive tackle in a 3-4 scheme. its like accepting inside linebacker for middle linebacker. they aren't two different positions so you should just take nose guard out of this.

	nwaldrip:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 05:42 GMT		0 points
	accept kick off returner and snapper

	fly_by_night13:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 01:09 GMT		3 points
	Good quiz. Everybody is ripping on you for what you messed up on but I'm going to give credit where credit is due. Good quiz.

	Karmacode:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 10:18 GMT		1 point
	Just barely got them all after deciding to try "Right and Left Defender"

	ef232623:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 13:38 GMT		0 points
	This is basically a good quiz--I'm surprised I haven't seen one like it, at least. I think you should definitely accept "DH" for designated hitter, since that's a common acronym. I don't know much about football, but it seems like that might need some cleaning up based on the above comments.

	^technically, DH is still a "position". So yes, it counts
