	Love the inclusion of George Best.

	I missed Mack Brown. Ironically, I'm a Longhorns fan.

	wheatonbrando:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 19:57 GMT	15 points
	I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, but I loved the irony of LBJ being included in one of the clues for a sports quiz and it not representing his highness Lebron James.

	I must have typed "Tony Falcon" a dozen times. I feel pretty smart right about now ...

	Sneuticles:	Jul 29th, 2010 at 21:21 GMT	1 point
	LOVED the inclusion of Seattle Slew, SHOCKED to see how many people have gotten it, and therefore slightly-less STUNNED that there aren't fifty comments here arguing whether or not Seattle Slew was an athlete, per se.
