	Nice quiz! I'm not a boxing fan really at all, but I somehow managed to dredge up Trevor Berbick's name...

	Very good quiz - a nice mix of several different sports. WHY do I always forget Stan Musial during baseball quizzes????

	How lazy do you have to be to want to put in two letter abbreviations for basketball positions? Maybe make "centre" acceptable for "center". Non-Americans play these things too. ;-)

	You need to put in some alternative names for the modern pentathlon events as you just have the general names for the events, but the specific events are not accepted as answers.

	Very good quiz.

	What % of people only got 'shooting' because they were going for 'shooting guard.' I'm guessing 9 out of every 10 who got it.

	^ That's quite possible. I wasn't thrilled with the fact that I was giving away an answer like that, but there isn't much of a way around it. Still, I'm sure you guys will accept the freebie. haha

	technically Browns/Lions/Texans are undefeated in the superbowl as well ;)

	Greg Norman wasn't in the last 5 golfers who were #1. Tom Lehman was #1 for one week in 1997 after Norman. Then it was Tiger for most of the rest of the time except for brief stints by Els, Duval and Singh.

	Ciolf:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 15:59 GMT		4 points
	No, Norman was ranked #1 for the last 3 months of 1997. Tiger took over in January '98, at which point, as you said, there were sporadic periods where Els, Duval, and Singh took over.

	My problem with this quiz is that it's not really "fivesomes" for many of the categories. Many of these are just the top 5 of a long list (most hits, NBA leading scorers, World Cup hosts, etc.) rather than categories that only have 5 items (fighters who beat Ali, pentathlon, undefeated Super Bowl teams, etc.). I feel these types of quizzes should refer to the latter.

	Ciolf:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 20:39 GMT		0 points
	I understand that, mulv, and to be honest, I was trying to stay away from top 5's as much as I could. As it turned out, most of the stats I looked at either had 4 names or 6 names, or it had an extremely unknown name on the list, or its sporting relevance was somewhat minimal (e.g., Philadelphia's Big 5 colleges). So in the end, a few Top 5's got in there, but all in all, I don't think it's a massive detriment to the quiz. YMMV.

	I must have missed at least 7 answers due to misspellings. Ugh.

	i thought the bills were undefeated in super bowls...

	YMMV?

	Ciolf:	Sep 15th, 2010 at 23:28 GMT		2 points
	Your Mileage May Vary. It's basically saying "that's how I see things, but to each his own." In a lot less space. :)

	Fun quiz, love the diversity

	You misspelled 7 answers on here? This has to be about the easiest sports quiz I've ever seen as far as spelling goes. What couldn't you spell? Rose? Center? Williams? Jordan? UCLA? 49ers? Seriously, there's one tough name on the tennis list, and a couple that I guess could be tricky if you've never followed hockey, but every other answer on this quiz, if you've followed sports enough to know the answers, you certainly should be able to spell them.

	@indyjeff - you mean Graf, right?

	I don't even know what the NEXTEL/Sprint Cup is. Thanks goodness for my 'always type Johnson/Smith/Jones/Williams' policy.
