	I typed in "Over the Hill Gang" and didn't get it. Do you require the hyphens? That should be removed.

	Nothing said by Chris Berman should be allowed in a proper quiz.

	How about "The Electric Company" for the early 70's Bills' O-line? Love that one. Of course the source of the nickname is a murderer... so I can see not using it too.

	Too many obscure nicknames. Is Lie Downs really a "popular" nickname if only 0.7% guessed that answer? You left off many more widely used nicknames, such as The Iggles, San Diego Superchargers, Gang Green, Cheeseheads, etc.
