	wow, you really went with a broad range of sports there...

	TexasHolders:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		-3 points
	I was thinking it was Patrick Roy, but thought the pronunciation had to be the same in both names.

	frostynyc:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 18:34 GMT		8 points
	for michael owen, at least say former Liverpool star striker, who missed the 2006 and 2010 World Cups due to injury

	Like Beanz said, Michael Owen is not a "star" striker, at least not for Man U...they only have one star striker, and it's been the same guy for awhile

	He WAS a star striker

	kaulbach:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 21:45 GMT		4 points
	i think the question is misleading because it implies that had he not been injured he would have been selected for the World Cup squad. This is not the case.

	pete32782:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 22:55 GMT		11 points
	@TexasHolders so what, you were trying to come up with an actor with the first name Brodeur? Sawchuck?

@BroNamath: You're right, but there's no corresponding actor with the first name of Berbatov.

	Aww, a sports and entertainment quiz that has no 'sports entertainment.' :(

	bed005:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 00:20 GMT		2 points
	When I saw the Man U question I tried Wayne Rooney Mara before I read the second part of the clue. Unfortunately she didn't star in Zoolander.

	CraigBerger:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 00:36 GMT		3 points
	Why'd you have to put a soccer player in there? I could have had a perfect score!

	EmYanks2001:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 01:46 GMT		-1 points
	could't get any of them.... a few cases i knew 1 but not the other... reggie jackson, hank aaron..

	NY_MOB:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 03:34 GMT		3 points
	Yep, that's the big challege in this type of quiz. I seemed to know one of the two people on almost every question but I got less than half of the answers right. Love a good challange!

	hawksdd:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 03:55 GMT		6 points
	can you please accept "LeDouche James Franco," or some other variation of that?

	beatlesfan:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 04:10 GMT		-4 points
	how about " john wayne rooney"?

	mb625:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 05:34 GMT		4 points
	I could do the sports part, but unfortunately for me the other part was my undoing

	zoolander threw me off because i was thinking ben stiller

	And then there are some of us who knew all the entertainment answers but sadly only 7 of the sports side.

	dlutz77539:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 21:57 GMT		0 points
	Fun quiz...really requires a wide variety of knowledge.

	dlutz77539:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 21:59 GMT		-1 points
	...and if Michael Owen isn't a star player, how come I've heard of him when I don't follow the English Premier League?

	brez002:	Feb 8th, 2011 at 01:29 GMT		-1 points
	Am I the only one who could've used a little more time? Then again I was only half concentrating cause I was watching tv while playing. Good quiz though.

	perashaman:	Feb 8th, 2011 at 05:19 GMT		2 points
	@Brez - I wasalso thinking that there should be more time. 6 minutes might be sufficient. Interesting quiz, but definitely needed just a bit more on the clock.

	I know it's a technicality, but Owen Wilson was nominated for Best Writing, Original Screenplay.

	Clever quiz, much harder than I expected, had no idea Pierce Brosnan was Irish, I kept trying to think of someone on the Celtics with the last name Sean, even though I knew Connery wasn't Irish

	Joe Louis Armstrong was 137 years old and was the greatest trumpeter who ever lived.

	Despite his name being most closely associated with reconstructive elbow surgery, Tommy John was also a 288 game winner w/ a 3.34 lifetime ERA. You could also add White Sox to his list of teams as he spent 7 years in Chicago.

	won't take any answers. sucked

	Fun. I couldn't think of a cowboy/actor named Waa

	EuphoniAl:	Apr 4th, 2012 at 12:39 GMT		1 point
	How about some instructions for those of us who have never played one of these before? Didn't know the first, but for the second I typed John, Tommy John, Elton John, Tommy John Elton John, Tommy and Elton John, and then finally hit "Give Up" just to see what you wanted!

	Bustin5Knots:	Mar 2nd, 2013 at 23:36 GMT		1 point
	EuphoniAl, before & afters are pretty well-known, not just with sporcle. And Elton John wasn't in the Beatles.

	Owen Wilson not oscar nominated
