	This really needed Mark Grudzielanek and Doug Mientkiewicz and Wally Szczerbiak And I have no idea if I spelled those right.

	Could include Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi, he kills me on some NFL quizzes

	The only reason I knew who you were talking about on a couple was that I'm a Bears fan living in Ohio. On a few of these it's hard enough to know what the player's last name is. That said, well done. It tests both your ability to spell the hard names and your overall knowledge of the sports in question. 5/5.

	Also, if I may add a suggestion: Finnish hockey names can get tricky. Say... Antero Niittymaki, for instance. :) However, in the same token I bet there's more people who've heard of Massaquoi than Niittymaki. My guess is that's the reason your hockey players are of the more well-known variety rather than the "ridiculously difficult to spell" variety. Still, a great quiz nonetheless.

	No Doubt Mike Krzyzewski, Doug Mientkiewicz and Carl Yastrzemski are the hardest to spell cause they sound nothing like the way they are spelled lol...but there is no way in HELL I would have ever gotten "Szczerbiak" right, I always thought it was "Sczerbiak". That is one tricky name. I thought Ovechkin, Nowitzki and Olajuwon were pretty easy though as well as Yzerman.

	@cautrodosocho: Yeah, I tried to shy away from hockey, some of those names can be rididulous! At least the common sports fan should be able to take an educated stab at Lemieux and Ovechkin. Thank you for the kind words!

	@Hooby: I've got something that will fit your bill.

	might want to include a phonetic pronunciation or something for casual fans - I got knew all the MLB and NHL ones, but I got none of the NFL and only the really easy NBA ones just because I don't know enough about the teams, but I realized I had heard of some of them afterwards

	Amazingly 18/20! Coach K and AJ killed me. I really thought the Devin was Hester, that made me laugh

	nice quiz, you should add Ted Kluszewski.

	19/20, and if I had ever heard of the Bears guy I may have had a chance.

	zms30:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 23:36 GMT		1 point
	I got 19 also, I heard of the Bears guy, and probably tried 8 spellings and still didn't get it. Fun quiz

	Maybe throw in Ted Kowalczyk, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay basketball coach.

	Who the hell is that Bears guy? Never heard of him. Good quiz though.

	You can't call this the Toughest Sports Names to Spell quiz, then "shy away" from hockey players...
