Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"A little sports trivia..."
I found this trivia game to be interesting with some tricky answers sandwiched around some rather easy ones. See how you do.

Combine the two clues to create the name of a famous athlete, coach or figure. Most of these sports figures are now retired but there's a couple that are still active and some date back quite a few decades.

For example: "Bond, ____ Bond" and "Deserving" = James Worthy. First and last name required.

Gonna ask you for a clarification for the surname in 20. It's not spelled as Perry.

Was surprised to find that I got a lot of them in first shot. Some names I don't recognize though.

Here are some more:

13. Herb Brooks
22. Frank Thomas (was about to leave this blank and gave it one more try!)
23. Gary Player (didn't know the birthplace but knew the city existed and it fit)
26. David Justice
