	Any quiz like this which doesn't count pre-merger NFL titles is deeply flawed.

	johnlk:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 03:45 GMT	7 points
	Also "winningest" doesn't normally mean "won the most championships".

	deej:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT	4 points
	I did like the quiz, but the fact that the worst-guessed answer was 81%, it is probably too easy. I'd try to think of a way to make it slightly more challenging.

	whoweareedmonds:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 05:50 GMT	-1 points
	the New Jersey Giants have also won 3 (super bowl) titles

	feste26:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 06:42 GMT	0 points
	If the Giants wanted to associate themselves with the state they played in, they would call themselves that.

	TheBigE1980:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 12:01 GMT	4 points
	From the title, I thought this would be a quiz on total wins as a franchise, not titles.

	BigSwitz98:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 15:37 GMT	6 points
	I guess the quiz creator doesn't want to account for the whole history of a team. The Packers have more than 3 NFL titles, and the Bears have more titles than the Bulls.

	ClutchMcB:	Jun 26th, 2010 at 17:06 GMT	-2 points
	Waaaaay too easy! I got distracted and still finished in less than a minute.

Comment below threshold: show it

	The Lakers have 11 titles in LA. They won five while playing in Minneapolis. Weak quiz for ignoring pre-Super Bowl NFL.

	The Giants have won three Super Bowls, and should be listed under New Jersey as well. All three were won after moving to East Rutherford. Considering the Devils won all three of their Cups in the very same city of East Rutherford, counting them but not the Giants makes no sense whatsoever.

	PWT3:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 02:30 GMT	3 points
	agree with the first poster and anyone else who repeated what he said. the bears, not the bulls, have the most championships in illinois.

	ncr1119:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 04:54 GMT	6 points
	quiz now fixed to include pre-merger NFL teams

	wbourland:	Aug 13th, 2010 at 03:49 GMT	24 points
	When did the Titans win the Super Bowl? And when was the 2nd win?

	wbourland:	Aug 13th, 2010 at 03:50 GMT	23 points
	Unless, of course, you mean the Oilers' two championships... which were in Houston...

	amwoods13:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 05:57 GMT	13 points
	Titans? They've got zero championships. Giants - 7 championships in New Jersey? Only the last 3.

	alexinman:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 06:27 GMT	9 points
	If you're going to count the five pre-LA lakers titles for minnesota, you probably shouldn't count oilers titles for tennessee or any championships the giants won before they moved to giants stadium for NJ.

	adamnvillani:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 08:07 GMT	10 points
	Yeah, only count the titles actually won in the state. The quiz is inconsistent here... you didn't assign the Sonics' championship to Oklahoma, for example, but somehow you've counted all of the Giants' championships as being in New Jersey.

	adamnvillani:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 08:08 GMT	7 points
	Or, to be precise, championships won while the team was based in that state.

	BCal:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 16:26 GMT	4 points
	The Baltimore Colts won NFL championships in 1958, 1959, and the Super Bowl in 1970. If you're including old NFL championships, you should include the Colts tied with the Orioles as part of Maryland.

	cocky:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 16:48 GMT	7 points
	The Titans' titles were in Houston and were also in the AFL, not the NFL. Alos, the Browns won some of their titles in the AAFL. I nice idea for a quiz, but terribly flawed.

	GiantsJoe2110:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 19:44 GMT	9 points
	The Titans have won 0 championships since moving to Tennessee not 2 and the Giants have won 3 since moving to New Jersey not 7. Since you specified that only championships within a state count, then you should lower those.

	mitchconn:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 22:30 GMT	7 points
	Oilers should have worked for Titans...except that those were won in Texas, so it shouldn't be here.

	vamsi:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT	4 points
	yeah, nice in theory but need to work on accuracy.

	coyotesfan2342:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 18:12 GMT	2 points
	I think it's pretty dumb to include pre-merger championships, that's like saying in MLB all the AL and NL championships teams have won "championships" too, or the Eastern and Western conference champions in the NBA, the NFL "champion" didn't play the AFL "champion", so how can you count that as a true championship? It's just whiny Packers, Bears, and Browns fans that want to believe their team is better than what they really are.

	cjmulrain:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 21:51 GMT	4 points
	inconsistent - if you're gonna split the Lakers titles between California and Minnesota, you should do the same for the Giants between New York (4, wouldn't make the list obviously) and New Jersey (3, still would make the list, but tied with the Devils)

	Jellodead:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 22:06 GMT	4 points
	The quiz is flawed. The quiz rules state "Only titles won in the state count toward the total". Titans have never won a championship while in Tennessee. won two AFL Championships in Houston. 60 and 61.

	jacksparrow34313:	Oct 25th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT	5 points
	Ya if you're going to split the Lakers titles between LA and Minny (which I agree with), you also gotta only count the Giants titles won after playing in NJ, and you definitely shouldn't count Titans AFC titles won in Houston. I was going crazy trying to remember what team from Tennessee ever won ONE title, let alone 2...turns out I was right, none ever did.

	Rommey:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 01:41 GMT	1 point
	The Giants only have six championships that I can tell: 1934, 1938, 1956, 1986, 1990, and 2007.

	coyotesfan2342:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 02:38 GMT	0 points
	Actually Rommey the Giants have only won 3 championships, 1986, 1990, and 2007.

	cjmulrain:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 15:19 GMT	2 points
	The Giants won the NFL Championship in 1927, 1934, 1938, and 1956, all while playing in New York. They won the Super Bowl in 1986, 1990, and 2007, all while playing in New Jersey.

	cocky:	Oct 26th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	2 points
	I can undertsand not counting champs from the NFL and AFL 1960-1966 since they did not play a Super Bowl then. But why discount titles won prior to 1960 when there wasn't another league?

	BiloxiSean:	Oct 28th, 2010 at 20:20 GMT	2 points
	You should really split the New York Giants championships from when they played in New York and the New Jersey ones. (BTW if the redskins win a Super Bowl, does DC or Maryland get the credit?)You should also count ABA championships too.

	rom78:	Oct 29th, 2010 at 02:47 GMT	2 points
	ummm when did the titans win 2 championships??? The oilers won 2 afl championships, but houston isnt in tennessee

	CactusZ:	Oct 29th, 2010 at 07:47 GMT	-1 points
	It might just be me, but who cares about NFL and AFL titles (except fans of teams that have never won a Super Bowl)? Anything before 1967 really doesn't mean crap.

	Lindsay:	Oct 30th, 2010 at 23:44 GMT	1 point
	I don't understand the arguments that frequently come up about not counting pre-merger NFL titles. That would be akin to not counting any NHL titles before the merger with the WHA or any pre-ABA merger NBA titles. The NFL has had a rich and storied history for 90 years, and just because the league reorganized its playoff/championship structure in 1967 doesn't take away from what the teams did in the first 4+ decades of the NFL's existence.

	zeke:	Nov 5th, 2010 at 19:56 GMT	1 point
	Counting pre-Super Bowl NFL championships is the same as counting pre-World Series MLB championships when the NL pennant went to the top MLB team. Either count pre-SB and pre-WS winners both, or neither
