I'm not saying you're wrong about the Yotes, by the way. lol. they'd put up a really strong argument among sports fans in that category... if people even remembered to include them


and where do we put the BJs, by the way? Too new to include?

Here we go. god, i love Sporcle as a time killer when work is slow

Of course this isn't exact, but it does cover millions of users globally. The stats and numbers should be given, but you may need to sign up. its free. You can take the quiz without signing up, its just if you wanna see where you stand against others, you need to do so.


*NOTE**

when taking this quiz, duplicate answers will be spread across leagues. So if there is a popular one in one sport (eg baseball) it will also fill in another (football). This will expalin the top NHL answer! So think of names that are used in more than one league!!

Also, it takes the answers immediately when written and doesnt count punctuation nor spaces. That will explain the #1 baseball answer. I wonder if you can guess what it will be from that hint

what if all the success the eagles had when pederson came in was cause of Chip?

I think the issue is frank reich left. The offense hasn’t been the same. From a roster perspective, maybe chip comes into play.

I don’t know if I can rate a Major Four franchise worse then the Jets right now. And I’m a Jets fan.

Top to bottom. It’s a mess. About to rebuild for a 4th time since 2013 when they draft Lawrence next year and cut Darnold.

It's about what it's always about, talent. They have a poor secondary and linebackers. They don't have a legitimate top wide receiver. Yet they had to draft a QB with a 2nd round pick. Had to sign Hargrave when they were already set at DT. I'm beginning to believe that Roseman is a flash in the pan who got lucky one year and what they really need is a new GM.

no doubt their receiving corps(e) is among the most pathetic units I've ever seen. other than TEs, that is.

Thanks Bill! Do you think we need to add some toughness up front? Similar to how the Stars have Benn or the Lightning acquiring Barclay Goodrow this season. I know there is a difference in talent between the two players mentioned but it just seems to me we’ve been lacking a bit of toughness up front since we dealt Simmonds.

I say yes, most definitely. Matt Martin would fill the role nicely, but odds are he’s staying with the Isles or signing with the Rags. There’s simply no deterrent on this current Flyers’ roster. We’ve witnessed throughout these playoffs that physical teams wear teams down.

I agree with this, but the team also looks dysfunctional which is coaching. They are just a mediocre team top to bottom and I’m not confident they have the right people in place to get them out of it, starting with Roseman.

They have maybe 2 players who he drafted in the last several years that make any difference on the field. It’s bad.

I told you why...

Teams with names in multiple leagues get filled in regardless of their city affiliation. Guess common names.

So the Panthers are up there because of Carolina, no doubt.

Appreciate you taking the quiz, tho

It’s just somethin fun. Certainly not serious. I follow all 4 religiously, and I only got like 65% in the time given. I paid too much attention to teams I thought would be at the top of certain leagues. Learned my lesson when I saw the answers.

Also, this site is nerdy as hell. Not everyone knows sports, especially American sports considering the massive European following here. If you love top 10 lists, especially in geography, it’s a good time killer.

I’m admittedly kinda nerdy at stuff like that.

It becomes More apparent each week (imo) since the SB that Doug P had the luckiest year coaching and also was not the smarts. His play calling is flat out atrocious these days. Some of the play calling when it’s 3rd and short is just maddening. The lack of creativity is laughable.

I agree it's not coaching or play calling. It's talent. On offense it's Ertz, Goedert and Sanders. They're in the process of ruining a franchise QB. Wentz decision making is poor right now and it's all due to feeling he has to force things to try and make some plays. It leads to bad throws and holding on to the ball to try and make something happen.
