	GREAT idea. I would take one or two minutes off the clock, perhaps, but it's an excellent quiz regardless. You also did a great job of avoiding an issue with ties (i.e. having to type "Yankees" into the specific '60s box) by including the years. Well done!

	Yeah, loved it. Just a bit too much time but otherwise perfect. Great job.

	Thx for your comments, time down to 7 now ;)

	'Lakers' didn't work for Minneapolis Lakers

	Who the hell are the canton bulldogs? Good quiz tho.

	Lauro:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 17:06 GMT	3 points
	@Barzuniac: Maybe you spelled it wrong cause it works.

	sox_fan1468927:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 17:28 GMT	3 points
	As a Celtics fan, I really wish I was alive in the 60s.

	silly or not MMayes I hope you are right

	blackhawks is one word

	Lauro:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 23:03 GMT	7 points
	In 1986, while going through the team's records, someone discovered the team's original NHL contract, and found that the name "Blackhawks" was printed as a compound word as opposed to two separate words ("Black Hawks") which was the way most sources had been printing it for 60 years and as the team had always officially listed it. The name officially became "Chicago Blackhawks" from that point on.

	@dtro, canton bulldogs was one of many of the original NFL teams that folded. Jim Thorpe is probably the most famous player they had and lead them to their championships. Great quiz, got them all, only the MLB 1960s slowed me down

	ChipTaco:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 02:41 GMT	4 points
	Great idea for a quiz. Good time limit

	sox_fan1468927:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 17:43 GMT	4 points
	It's depressing when three of your least favorite teams (Yankees, Canadiens, and Lakers) have been extremely successful in 13 decades.

	RonMexico:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	3 points
	wow, pulled Canton Bulldogs out of my you-know-what

	ChrisP: I disagree, if you allow that you just name random successful teams and get a lot of answers. With this format you actually have to know WHEN they were successful.

	jcf5445:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 00:54 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz. The only thing I would suggest is to make it clear that the Ottawa Senators of the 1920s are not in any way connected to the Ottawa Senators of today.

	Try my new one about which team won the most championships in its league: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Lauro/champs

	bsd987:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 04:11 GMT	-3 points
	Every other sporcle quiz considers Super Bowl championships as occurring the year the Super Bowl occurs, not the year most of the season was played. I think you should alter this quiz to keep it in line with every other sporcle quiz.

	bsd987:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 04:15 GMT	2 points
	Also, you need to accept Senators without the asterisk. Right now you can only get it if you add in an asterisk. I got everyone except that one.

	Lauro:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 12:04 GMT	4 points
	Removed it.

	Lauro:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 12:09 GMT	4 points
	@bsd: I don´t know about the NFL seasons, but every list I find in the internet has the same dates as mine. I took it from this list: http://www.profootballhof.com/history/general/champions.aspx

	bsd987:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 15:29 GMT	0 points
	@Lauro - it's just sporcle style. The Super Bowl the 49ers won from the 1989 season was played in January 1990 and every other sporcle quiz treats the 49ers as winning that championship in 1990. Personally, I agree with the way you did it, but I'm just looking out for consistency.

	Great quiz. Missed Canton. This one should get published

	This is a great quiz, but it needs to be updated now to take into account the fact that the Yankees also have 2 WS titles in the 2000s.

	lucray1997:	Nov 28th, 2009 at 17:12 GMT	2 points
	Mello is right the Yankees won in 2000 and 2009

	jay cutler sucks...hard

	How often are the Browns an answer in a winning sports team quiz?

	RockSauce22:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 07:03 GMT	4 points
	@bsd987 that lsat comment u made about the super bowl is completely not true, so many quizzes have the super bowl year as the year of the nfl regular season... because that is how the nfl does it too

	rct:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 14:56 GMT	1 point
	Whither the Cincinnati Reds of the 70s? They even have a nickname!

	rct:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 15:04 GMT	2 points
	You know what? I'm an idiot and just realized the topic's name. But, however, technically speaking, the Bulldogs should be given credit for the Championship in 1924, as the Canton squad was merged with the Cleveland Bulldogs for a year.

	Hey can A's be accepted for Athletics please?

	chriskotx:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 20:12 GMT	3 points
	cool quiz. I like how you had multiple options for teams who won the same # of championships in a decade. I second J-Hobbs' request. The Athletics are more often called the A's.
