	Good quiz. Could have added a few more moves; another Devils move, another Kings move, Chiefs, Hawks, Yankees, Warriors, Sixers, Spurs, etc...

	drewster0987:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 05:08 GMT	-4 points
	correct me if i am wrong, but the oklahoma city thunder move should be 2008 right? i don't think that move happened twice..

	vendorsfan1:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 05:35 GMT	12 points
	I don't think the year listed is the year of the move. It's just an arbitrary year when the team was in its previous location.

	caramba:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 05:57 GMT	3 points
	@JRicoC: Yeah, I know there are a lot more. 1981 San Diego Clippers (LA), 1962 Cincinnati Royals (Houston - Oscar Robertson's team!), 1968 Cleveland Barons (Oakland), tons of real oldies - why don't you try making a sequel?

	SomeCallMeTim:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 06:00 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz. Love the way you did this. Wouldn't change a thing. Definitely recommending!

	mrprocrastinator:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 07:37 GMT	3 points
	Loved it. Could do a partner/sequel focusing on nickname instead of city changes.

	scaryice:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 09:16 GMT	6 points
	Cleveland & Baltimore aren't considered the same franchise. I'd suggest replacing that answer with something else.

	AdmiralMaxtreme:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 11:45 GMT	7 points
	scaryice is right. The Baltimore Ravens are considered to be a new franchise that was started in 1996, and the Browns are considered to be a franchise that ceased operations in 1996 and resumed play in 1999.

	Were the Rams in Anaheim in 1980?

	Illini13:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 12:35 GMT	-1 points
	Minnesota and Quebec aren't cities...just as a point of technicality

	kinga3:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 13:07 GMT	1 point
	good quiz, it mustve been confusing with two cardinals teams in st. louis

	biskit67:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 13:17 GMT	3 points
	One of the best sports quizzes on here. There are a few cities that have had multiple teams bail out. I find it interesting that more people knew the Braves were in Boston than Milwaukee. Also that the Grizzlies moved only a few years ago, but they are 11th on the list.

	wallyballz:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 14:33 GMT	3 points
	@ Cocky, I thought so, too. They moved there "to get as far away from black people as possible"- Ice Cube ( had nothing to do with lost revenue from the NFL blacking out TV games for not selling out the 100K seat stadium in LA).

	caramba:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 14:34 GMT	7 points
	@Illini13: Quebec (City) is a city, capital of the province of Quebec. Yes, Minnesota isn't a city, but "location name" is just awkward. The game accepts Minneapolis and Bloomington as well.

	cjmulrain:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	3 points
	@ kinga: probably not anymore confusing than two Giants teams in New York.

	yippeeyappee:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 15:21 GMT	5 points
	@cjmulrain: Or two teams called Rough Riders in the same nine team league. (CFL)

	caramba:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 15:25 GMT	4 points
	@cocky: I never knew that! I have changed teh year so that it is no longer ambiguous!

	mjs58:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 17:12 GMT	1 point
	@ scaryice: didn't Art Modell move the Browns to Baltimore? Isn't that why Cleveland hates Modell along with Elway, Jordan, and now LeBron?

	DJ_Donkeypunch:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT	4 points
	It looks like Kansas City has had a hard time holding on to franchises.

	amkirby10:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 18:14 GMT	2 points
	washington nationals in 2001: montreal (as the expos)

	torerodrizzle:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT	3 points
	I didn't even know the Devils were in Kansas City before their brief stint as the original Colorado Rockies.

	caramba:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 18:43 GMT	4 points
	@amkirby10: It's already there, as 1978. Is there a reason to be 2001 instead? In fact, I am going to change it to a better year (worse for Expos fans).

	caramba:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	2 points
	For a different twist on the same subject, godpaul26 created this one a couple of weeks ago: http://www.sporcle.com/games/godpaul26/arewethereyetcoach

	TheLastWaltz:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 21:36 GMT	2 points
	great quiz, but what about the 76ers?

	sabresfan:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 21:55 GMT	2 points
	Baltimore is considered an expansion franchise, and thus technically the Ravens did not play anywhere in 1990 because they did not exist.

	friction:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT	3 points
	sabresfan and scaryice That's just lawyer talk - a team that ends up with the owner, coaches and all players is a relocated franchise no matter what they say to throw out the lawsuits.

	ricestillfumbled:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 01:44 GMT	1 point
	i dont care what the nfl ruled...the cleveland browns from the early nineties moved and changed names, no ifs, ands or buts about it

	dbloomy:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 16:24 GMT	3 points
	Most excellent quiz, caramba. I like the randomized answers!

	Morbo:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 20:45 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz. Might've been fun to have a trick question about the Raiders, too, like where were they in 1979?

	caramba:	Jul 14th, 2010 at 20:54 GMT	2 points
	@Morbo: Thought of that and I also thought of Toronto Maple Leafs in 1968. But people don't like to be tricked...

	sobdennis:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 00:41 GMT	2 points
	I couldn't spell Winnipeg for the life of me or I would have gotten them all. BTW, The Cincinnati Royals did not become the Houston team. They became the Kansas City and then Sacramento Kings. Before that they were in Rochester. As you already have in the quiz, the team that became the Houston Rockets began in San Diego.

	cocky:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 01:53 GMT	2 points
	@wallyballz...I know you meant Ice Cube's quote as a joke, but that is a reason the Senators moved to Minnesota. The owner actually said that.

	mitchconn:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT	2 points
	@torerodrizzle: Yup The Devils started as the KC Scouts in 1974. became the Colorado Rockies in 1976 and became the Devils in 1982.

	dham85:	Jul 30th, 2010 at 00:27 GMT	2 points
	Baltimore is NOT an expansion team. The Browns are the expansion team that just took the name of their old team in the same city. When the Browns moved to Baltimore the stayed the same franchise just renamed themselves as the Ravens!
