Article:Some Sports Trivia To End The Week

From my blog, Stupid Sideline Reporters.

''I know doing sports trivia that isn't timed on the internet isn't exactly great because you're just a search away. At least try and answer these really easy questions in the comments without looking them up. If you look it up using another window, you will be forced to watch the Spurs for 10 hours on a continuous loop. You have been warned.''

Some questions will be multiple choice, others will not. Ready? GO!
