	You need to make it so the teams with two word names can be entered without typing the city.

	eja82:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 17:59 GMT		-2 points
	The quiz needs to be consistent. Either require all of the teams to include the city name or none!

	awesnap:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 18:49 GMT		2 points
	I must have missed these. I thank you and took care of glitches.

	cutter15:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 20:02 GMT		5 points
	i dont understand how the mavs are ahead of the lakers...i'm sure it is based on winning percentage but it just doesn't make sense.

	@uchusky815, its based on winning percentage

	awesnap:	Dec 30th, 2009 at 22:54 GMT		5 points
	@uchusky815: Forbes ranking is about more than just the usual wins and losses. Teams were measured by equal parts on-field performance and financial valuation growth since 2000. Performance factors were overall winning percentage, playoff appearances and championships.

	gopack:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 00:46 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz. Maybe a little less time. I was able to just guess big 4 teams and got them all.

	Blaise:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 02:49 GMT		11 points
	The Orioles didn't really stand apart from the rest of the MLB bottom feeders. I would have rather seen the Royals or Nationals as the last place teams than the O's. It's tough to compete when your div. has the Yankees and Red Sox...

	Haunter:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 04:37 GMT		3 points
	As a Lakers fan, I'll take 2 years of mediocrity and 4 championships instead of being choke artists every year like the Mavericks.

	brewcrew09:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 06:06 GMT		12 points
	I understand Forbes has different criteria, and I understand the Eagles had a great decade, but I think the Steelers should make the list over them, with 2 Super Bowl titles in the decade.

	bronxbombers2:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 07:43 GMT		11 points
	Texans really haven't been terrible, just completely average... 8-8 is their record of choice. agreed Orioles aren't worthy of #2... the Nationals are just the epitome of suckage!

	Goldie:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 08:03 GMT		2 points
	@haunter 4 Titles and in the finals 6 out of 10 years.The Lakers should of been at the top of this list. Winning in the reg season is good but if you cant win it when it matters most it means nothing.

	@mainiac65: every single nfl team does what the patriots did, the pats were jsut stupid enough to get caught. how are the steelers not on this list. this is ridiculous. and why are the mavs #3???

	devourerofsouls:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 15:37 GMT		1 point
	based on winning % explains the presence of the eagles i never would have guessed since i figured it would be based on championships

	mybeaglebelle:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 16:30 GMT		4 points
	No Steelers?

	ArtVandaley:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 16:54 GMT		7 points
	The inclusion of the Texans is ridiculous. They were an expansion team. Where are the Nationals???

	GushingGyros:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 17:14 GMT		-2 points
	i hate the San Antonio Spurs.

	ObamaWhitesox:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 19:09 GMT		9 points
	And Forbes once again shows us they don't know Jack about sports.

	DonnyB:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT		13 points
	The Cleveland Browns protest their exclusion from this list.

	SOAR21:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 21:06 GMT		4 points
	The Clippers have the worst win percentage of any sport in the last decade.

	dsteele:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 21:58 GMT		7 points
	The Nationals, the Clippers, and the Royals all protest their absence from the Worst 5 list.

	qb13:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 23:01 GMT		-2 points
	eagles havent won a super bowl. nationals haven't had a year that didint suck. pats over colts? you gotta be kidding. mavericks have been to one nba finals.

	BillyMumphrey:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 00:00 GMT		1 point
	awesnap, you need to make it clearer that this is a combination of on/off field performance. It's a good quiz, but we need more info to know that it's $+wins.

	Matt8204:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 00:44 GMT		3 points
	Cool quiz but it should be made clear that this isn't just about on-field/court/ice performance. Team finances were also taken into account. The Celtics and Steelers both won championships in the 2000's while the Mavs and Eagles did not, yet they made the list.

	GoBlue:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 00:50 GMT		15 points
	Wooooooo! Go Lions! We're #1!!!!!!!

	Mike6800:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 03:11 GMT		5 points
	atta boy lions

	greatestever:	Jan 10th, 2010 at 03:38 GMT		1 point
	incase half of you forgot, the colts went on to pass the OLD patriots record for wins this decade so they obviously should be on top in terms of football teams...as per other items on the list i agree that tha mavs n eagles although consistent prob shouldnt have made it over teams like tha celtics and steelers who have both proven dominance through multiple decades

	eastfan9:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 04:59 GMT		2 points
	The Eagles made 8 playoff appearances, including a run of 4 straight NFC championship games. They also had a superbowl appearance. I think it justifies being on the list.

	wallyballz:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 12:47 GMT		0 points
	so I guess winning 2 Super Bowls in the last 4 years doesn't make you a top team.........

	fastdawg07:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 14:15 GMT		0 points
	Yeah, last 4 years. Last time I checked 4 years did not equal 10. Just sayin'. I'm not an Eagles fan, but I do agree they deserve to be on the list if not right outside of the top 10.

	TheReaver88:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 16:30 GMT		2 points
	F*** the Steelers. That's why they're not on this list.

	thegrimreaper:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 01:48 GMT		1 point
	forbes = value, people...stop getting so upset cuz ur team didn't make the list.

	jaspa:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 03:39 GMT		3 points
	The Pirates were without a doubt worse than the Orioles or Blue Jackets.

	jsjones1985:	Jan 12th, 2010 at 07:05 GMT		3 points
	not a fan of them but shouldnt the steelers be up there....but Chicago sports not making it...that sounds bout right...yes from chicago haha
