	Since I couldn't find an official list with every sport, the actual source was me spending several hours going through the cover archives at SI.com and looking at each one. For the first ten years it was around, SI was also an outdoor magazine, so you will have to think a little out of the box for this one.

	Maybe accept more variant answers? Example: I tried both MMA and Mixed Martial Arts, neither worked but you have the answer as Fighting (UFC), which, by definition, is a league, which you said not to type. I also tried judo and tae kwon do, but didnt get "martial arts". How is Pentathalon separate from Track and Field? Skiing gets us alpine and jet skiing, but not water skiing? I didnt try it because I figured all possible skiings had already come up. I actually like the quiz, but seems like a few things need sharpening up.

	Bobsleigh wasn't accepted for bobsledding. Pentathlon is way way different from track and field. Are you getting confused with decathlon or heptathlon ?

	This is pretty awesome. I couldn't even begin to fathom what kind of sports would have to be included to get up to 52, and what was even more surprising was how many I guessed that were not on here. I tried just about every fringe activity that has ever appeared on the ESPN family of networks: Poker, Scrabble, Spelling Bee, Dodgeball, BaseKetball, Hot Dog Eating Contest (or competitive eating), and yet I can't imagine I would have ever come up with dog show, bridge, cheerleading, hot air ballooning (twice?), bullfighting, or flying. What does flying even mean anyway, something like Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier, or is there some sort of offbeat sport dedicated to the pursuit of human flight? I may have seen that in the X-Games last year.

	If you consider Swimsuit issues as "Swimming", it would have been way over the top. And about flying; there are plane races too, or gliding, hang-gliding etc. can be put there too.

	I will add as many alternates as I can, just keep suggesting them. The ones suggested above have been added. I tried to think of several the first time, but I ma sure I missed some. With the Fighting cover, I had a hard time narrowing that one down. fighting is a very general term, and yet UFC is a league, so they are both accepted. Flying and Gliding are two very different things, so Gliding will not be added, and in this case, flying is referring to airplanes. Finally, the one cover which features a pentathalon athlete clearly says pentathalon, not decathalon or any other variants, and since it is so different than track and field, it will stay. Thanks for the advice, and keep them coming! I put a ton of time into this one, so please rate it high!

	I tried yachting and sailing (thinking Americas Cup)but didn't get credit for boating. Could you please add this? Nice work.
