Sports Trivia!

Post by Scott »

A girl from Boston, asked me a sports trivia question today. I got four out of the five and she was impressed. Here is the question:

Name five professional teams that does not end in the letter 'S'. For example, Cowboys, Ravens or Orioles, but without ending in the letter 'S'. You can choose from the mainstream sports like the NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA.

I wanted to know if there were really only five teams or if there are more. Good luck! I got four out of five in about 10 minutes. I gave up on the last one.

Good Job! Ummm, you didn't get the hint in the question? The girl was from Boston so that would have given you the Red Sox, then most people would immediately think of the White Sox.

So there are more then five, that's seven so far.

White Sox
Red Sox
Avalanche
Magic
Heat
Jazz
Wild

Let's see how many more we can come up with.
