      I work for Yardbarker, so I can't decide if it's good or bad that I do these at work. Do you guys have any other ideas for quizzes?

    I had to stop trying to spell Dirk's last name and finish the rest of them off and then come back to keep trying. I eventually got it write. This reminds me that there are a lot of good players that never get this award.
