	Hi, I made this quiz...The Bills and the Sabres may have a Buffalo as their logo, but the TEAM NAMES are not animals. The Bills are named for Buffalo Bill, the person, not the animal, even though the city might be. And a sabre is a sword. And I will add the Mavericks....the team name was actually inspired by the James Garner TV show Maverick (Garner was a member of the team's original ownership group), so I thought it referred to a cowboy or something, but it defined as an "unbranded range animal." Oops.

	And I also corrected the spelling for Cincinnati. Thanks for pointing that one out, since I somehow missed it.

	And in case some people were wondering why the Nashville Predators are in this quiz, this is from their entry on Wikipedia: On September 25, 1997, owner Craig Leipold and team president Jack Diller held a press conference where they unveiled the franchise's new logo, a saber-toothed cat (Smilodon floridanus).The logo was a reference to a partial "Smilodon" skeleton found beneath downtown Nashville in 1971, during construction of the First American National Bank building, now the Regions Center (Nashville).

	It's the Tampa Bay Rays, not Devil Rays anymore. Just letting you know.

	Yeah, I know it's not Devil Rays anymore, but I couldn't figure out how to make a bouns answer, and I wanted to include it since that was their original name.
