I'd try this game, but I didn't even know hockey still existed.

 

I can probably name more WNBA teams, and I've never sat and watched a WNBA game in my life.

58 seconds left for me after naming the cities with teams in each major sport. The last city I remembered was

Detroit

.

[CDBears1259]

103/122 on Pros

62/73 on Conferences

68/73 on mascots/names

[NCCubFan]

64 out of 73 on the conferences. I missed

Missouri and 8 Big East teams.

[Warpticon]

I couldn't get the bay..otherwise, nailed it. And I still don't know what hockey team that is.

I got 108/122. Took me longer than I'm proud of to get all the NFL and MLB teams. I missed 4 NBA teams and 10 NHL. Ick.

[CubmanPi]

I looked at the most commonly missed and commonly remembered teams, and no surprise that basketball and hockey filled the bottom 40, with the exception of the brewers, padres, and royals.

 

In the top 30, the only basketball or hockey team to make it (not counting florida panthers and new york rangers, who were only up there because their names are shared) was the Bulls.

 

I scored 95/122. Got all of baseball, missed the Bengals and Bills, and don't follow the NBA or NHL.

[Banedon]

I got 84 on the original game. Got all of MLB, missed the 49ers in the NFL...honestly I just ran out of time or I'd have done much better.

That kind of confirms something I've been saying for awhile: people like to say the NHL doesn't belong in the "Big Four," but the NBA is slipping itself. Really, it's more a series of several tiers:

 

NFL

MLB, college football

NBA, college basketball

NHL, golf, soccer

Other niche sports

 

I'm not sure where I'd put NASCAR in there, and I may be wildly wrong on a few placements, but the principle of tiers is sound, imo.

I'd say NASCAR goes in with NHL, golf and soccer only because of the large following it has in the south. I have no evidence to back myself up, however.

 

The rest of your list appears to be sound.

We're talking US only and not globally, right? If so, I'd probably go more along the lines of

 

NFL, MLB

NBA, College Football, College Basketball, PGA Golf when TIger is involved

NHL, NASCAR, World Cup Soccer, Olympics

MLS, MMA, AFL, Rodeo, Poker, PBA, WNBA, etc

I don't know that I'd put MLB on par with the NFL. I love baseball, but the NFL is just lapping other sports in interest right now, I think.

Maybe in Tennessee. :)

 

I put them on the same level because, for the most part, their seasons don't overlap, meaning the average sports fan can be completely dedicated to both MLB and NFL. Also, a lot of this tiering was in relation to its Olympic counterpart. MLB and NFL are pro sports that don't even have an Olympic counterpart they're so insignificant in comparison. NBA and PGA golf have Olympic counterparts, but certainly not important on the same level. NASCAR is a different beast altogether, and maybe it's more significant to the rest of the country than I'm thinking, but it's definitely not big around here.

You may have a point that MLB isn't as big here in Tennessee. We don't have an MLB team in the state and I think that hurts popularity.

 

As for NASCAR, it's comparable to the big 2 here in the south but probably not on the list in other areas - thus I think it's placed well in your list.

If we could keep it to just NBA, MLB, and NFL, I could probably get them all...

Haha, this is awesome. Missed one line, but otherwise got it very quickly.

I still say it's TWIST turned upside down, no matter what that quiz says.

[David]

i've always thought it was "flipped"

[David]

but i always did think he was saying "that this cab was weird"

 

i only found out a few years ago that he was saying "rare"

Nah, that's flipped. But I did always think it was "Yo Holmes, to Bel Air"

It is. That's wrong.

Can't believe I forgot the Phillies in the MLB. I don't really follow a lit of NBA/NFL/NHL, so the ones I got there are names I heard on TV and the ones I read about on NSBB.

[Derwood]

The Simpsons one threw me for a loop. I couldn't remember the first names of Mrs. Lovejoy, Mrs. Flanders, Mrs. Van Houten, or the old guy with the beard. I also totally blanked on Rainier Wolfcastle.
