Last night Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Lakers to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Including the Thunder, there are nine teams in the four major American sports (NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB) with nicknames that don’t end with ‘S.’ How many can you name in three minutes?

Note: Two readers suggested this quiz back in 2009—Bill Smith and Christi Larkins. At that time Mr. Smith was an up-and-comer in the athletic department of the University of Arkansas. I don’t know Ms. Larkins’ claim to fame, but I’m glad she’s sharing her quizzes with us. If either of you see this, say hello!

Quiz: Horses That Almost Won the Triple Crown
by Jason English - May 20, 2012 - 10:30 AM

Since Affirmed completed the Triple Crown in 1978, 12 horses have won both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. The first 11 failed to win the Belmont. I’ll Have Another will attempt to break that streak on June 9th.

If you’re looking for a horse racing wager before the Belmont, challenge a friend to see who can name more of the 11 Derby/Preakness winners who preceded I’ll Have Another.
