	this is a great idea, but doesn't have to be a minefield. would be much better if you could keep going with a wrong answer

	BCSwede:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 14:47 GMT		5 points
	Agreed. I like the concept but it's a bit frustrating.

	Pistol:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 15:14 GMT		4 points
	I didn't mind it being a minefield but the time limit is unnecessary. I ran out of time rather than getting an answer wrong (and I only got 13) which defeats the point of a minefield quiz. Please make the time limit longer.

	Murf1013:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 20:30 GMT		14 points
	I'm sure I'll get voted down for this but when discussing the Super Bowl it's almost always the "season" and not the actual date that is important. For example: nobody talks about the '86 Bears. They talk about the '85 Bears, even though they technically won the championship in '86. Another example: The only undefeated Super Bowl champs are the "blank?" The answer here is of course the '72 Dolphins, even though they finished off their 17-0 season with a win in SB VII which occurred during '73.

	Murf1013:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 20:35 GMT		3 points
	Sorry but I just had to add one (two?) additional point(s) here. How many Super Bowls did the Steelers win in the 70's? 4, even though the '79 championship game was technically played in 1980. The same exact thing can be said of the Niners in the 80's. Nobody says the Niners won 3 Super Bowls in the 80's and 2 in the 90's, even though Super Bowl XXIV was technically in 1990. People say they won 4 Super Bowls in the 80's and 1 in the 90's.

	murf, your argument has validity for the nba and nhl as well, seeing as how their seasons also span 2 separate years. but the reason it's not as obvious is because their championships are usually credited to the year the team won it (i.e., as a new york ranger's fan, i refer to them as the '94 stanley cup champs). in the nfl, however, the fact that they win specifically numbered superbowls makes it a bit more awkward to call a team the champions of a specific year. be that as it may though, the quiz is simply asking for the years the listed teams won or lost their respective championships - and it's not that difficult to figure out the year the corresponding superbowls took place.

	NS7:	Nov 22nd, 2011 at 23:17 GMT		2 points
	yes but the NBA and NHL always name their seasons spanning two years, for example the 1995-96 season or 2001-02 season. The NFL always says the 2000 season, 1997 season, etc., even though the season always extends into February. That's where the confusion lies with the Superbowl winner.

	Well you know the one with 3 teams has to be 2005. And it really, REALLY helps to be a Boston fan for this quiz lol.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 01:11 GMT		1 point
	I have tried this about a dozen times and keep getting tripped up on the Giants or Cardinals. It doesn't help that both the baseball and football Giants had runs in the early and late part of the decade.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 01:13 GMT		1 point
	This is frustrating because I know every answer, but keep making mistakes because I'm rushing. I agree with some others that the time limit is a little cruel, given the minefield style. It's not really the Sporcle way. On the other hand, it makes for an interesting, challenging quiz.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 01:23 GMT		1 point
	OK, I found a mistake that could be part of the source of my frustration. The lakers are listed twice for 2008. They should only be in the losers with the Rays, Penguins and Patriots. The winner that year was the Celtics.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 01:34 GMT		2 points
	And as other have said, I would personally consider the year to correspond to the NFL regular season year, not the year the Super Bowl was played. Yes, you can do the math, but given that this quiz is on a strict time limit, and a minefield, it should be about spitting out information, not reasoning it out. Off the top of my head, the Patriots Super Bowl years are ('85, '96) '01, '03, '04, and '08. My ability to rattle those off is supposed to help me, not hurt me by making me more likely to put in wrong answers.

	NJDevils015:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 02:24 GMT		3 points
	Murf is correct, the NFL champion for a particular year goes by the year the season took place. That should be corrected. Other than that, this is a great fun quiz. I like that it is a minefield or else it would be too easy.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 03:06 GMT		1 point
	Of course I make a mistake while proving my off the cuff knowledge of Super Bowl years. That should be '07 for the last Pats Super Bowl, not '08. I blame the quiz for screwing with me.

	mneh:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 13:29 GMT		2 points
	People can argue about the NFL years, but the main issue is that in 2010, the Lakers WON and the Celtics LOST. If you're going to make a quiz that blows up when the player makes a mistake, you have an extra duty NOT TO PUT MISTAKES IN IT.

	jimmydoom:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 22:11 GMT		3 points
	again though, the quiz is asking for the year of the 2000's that the teams won/lost in the championship final, NOT the season year(s). time limit notwithstanding, all the teams combined should be more than enough of a clue so that you don't have to scramble to do math (as if quickly increasing the year by one is such a brain buster).

	popcultureref:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 23:10 GMT		1 point
	In the year 2000, you the Stars in both categories as 'winners' and 'losers.'

	LaCosaNostra:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 05:04 GMT		1 point
	Easiest way to complete this quiz is to look for the MLB team first. baseball is the only sport who's season spans over only one calendar year.

	minefield is stupid its so frustrating

	jachildress:	Feb 28th, 2013 at 17:17 GMT		1 point
	I agree with everyone who has said the NFL season is named for the year in which the vast majority of the games are played, i.e. the 2012 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. That said, it's not difficult to figure out the year the quiz is looking for by simply adding a year to the NFL champ, especially when you get 3 additional hints from other sports that have clearly defined championship seasons.

	2001 sure was a rough year for the NY/Philly area

	Canes20:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 03:49 GMT		1 point
	Get rid of the minefield and it would be a good quiz
