    I figured Terrell Davis would be in there. No such luck. Still, 13 out of 20 isn't too bad.

          Um, could you CC me on those messages? Or maybe we could just add Harvey Bars to the athlete notifications, so I can be notified anytime, day or night, when you post? That would bring so much joy to my sad, pathetic life.

          teehee

          Make this s*** happen. I've been asking for a 'Verified Athlete' tag from YB for a long time now and I keep getting the same 'JV high school basketball does not count" replies back from the suits.
          I also can still ollie like 12 inches off the ground on a skateboard as long as its not in any kind of motion whatsoever. I'd like to see Frank Shamrock pull that off.

    Totally forgot my man Riggo. And I knew it was somebody else from Dallas but didn't think of Dorsett. I can take 14. I didn't know Tiki snuck up in there. I was proud for remembering Ricky Waters, he was very underrated.

  • CItalia

    CItalia said June 04, 2009

    I agree with you philly fan this quiz is anal about speling. They want the first name too and you need to know there are two "Ts" in Ricky Watters. Argh. I would have had 100 percent if it wasnt for that and spending 30 seconds on spelling ladainian right. 19 OUT OF 20 for me.
