	I got all of the players that I knew. (Not too good with football players outside of Vikings)

	Awesome quiz, maybe make it five minutes instead of three. Also...Tim Biakabutuka

	Great quiz. I was really, really proud of my 19, though it took me about a year and a half to figure out Coles. My two all-time favorites: US volleyball gold medalist Bob Ctvrtlik, and Finnish curling silver medalist Markku Uusipaavalniemi (whose name I actually had to look up because I couldn't possibly spell it).

	If you are looking for more suggestions, how about Carl Yastrzemski, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Michael Olowokandi?

	Four in the AL West... Justin Duchsherer of the A's, Chris Jakubauskas and Matt Tuiasosopo of the Mariners and Jarrod Saltalamacchia of the Rangers.

	Awesome quiz, 5 globes. If we're all making suggestions though, I do have a couple... first, I'd remove Pettitte. Then, maybe an extra Samoan or two... famous ones like Rey Maualuga or Troy Polamalu. If you want to get harder, maybe guys like Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala, Brandon Manumaleuna, Oshiomogho Atogwe, or Mike Hoomanawanui. Or, on second thought, just scour the Rams roster.
