All-Time Sports Champions Quiz

Excellent quiz, but you should also have a note for "Most overall NFL Championships" in there, because that would include the Packers. Though the Packers, with 4 Super Bowl wins, trail the Steelers, Cowboys, and 49ers in that department alone, they won 9 NFL Championships. Those cannot be forgotten, just because the NFL and AFL merged and started playing Super Bowls, we should remember that the NFL team that has the most total championships is the Packers with 13...4 Super Bowl wins, and 9 NFL titles before the Super Bowl was played.

Unfortunately, there's no clean way to equate pro football championships from prior to the advent of the Super Bowl. The first four Super Bowls were matchups between different LEAGUES - the NFL and the AFL, which later merged to form the new NFL. If you award a championship to NFL teams prior to the merge, you also need to award a championship to AFL teams (and, for that matter, any other pro league that merged with the NFL - the Browns won four AAFC championships prior to merging with the NFL). Also, what do you do with the four *league champions* who LOST the Super Bowl (2 from the AFL and 2 from the NFL) during the first four years of its existence?

What you do then is pick the league that survived. The NFL is the only league that exists and if you look at league history, it still gives credit to the champions from 1920-1965 who won the NFL. Sadly, the AAFC titles (mostly won by the Browns) and the AFL titles are meaningless because, for all intents and purposes, those leagues folded. They are as relevant now as XFL titles. The NFL credits the Packers as having won 13 championships, so it really isn't as cloudy an issue as you think.

Why the Libertadores cup and intercontinental (now world club) cup aren't included in soccer?

Superbowls are all that matter. This is except of course to fans that need the championships to elevate their teams, i.e. Browns, Lions. Only four teams have not played in the Superbowl and they are included in the four. Superbowls matter and championships prior to this really don't!

Since the league is still the NFL, and still has that history in its record books, the championships DO matter. I'd even understand people discounting all champions prior to 1931, because before that year there was no actual title game. The team with the best record was named champion at the end of the season. But since 1931, two teams competed for the championship. Ignoring the entire history of the NFL prior to the 1966 season is prejudicial to the teams that have been around that whole time. By the way, I'm not a Packers fan, but a New York Giants fan...the team that had by FAR the worst record in NFL championship game history.

The creator of the quiz "shouldn't" or "needn't" add anything. The questions are the questions. Answer them as they appear and quit whining. Super Bowls ARE all that matters as skilly says but not for the reasons he/she thinks. They are all that matters in this case because THAT is the question that was asked on this quiz.

not really a "whining" comment but if "Manchester" is acceptable for 'manchester United" when there are 2 clubs from Manchester then why isn't "Madrid" acceptable for "Real Madrid"...i got them anyway I'm just wondering is all.

well there is just atletico madrid even though they're not as good as real madrid.

You need to add another team to the BCS question since Alabama has now won two.

Gymnast Larysa Latynina of Russia won only nine *gold* medals, which is what the question is asking for.

Should update for Roger Federer!! Won Wimbledon yesterday now has 17 titles :)

Lance Armstrong needs changing as he's been stripped off his titles.

I agree. Tour de france question is now wrong, Armstong has been removed from the records and there are now 4 racers listed as most times winner with 5 wins each.
