Ok - I bought a copy of a fantasy football mag recently and something occurred to me while I was looking at some of the listings at certain positions. If you are going to offer a guess or provide and answer to the question, please refrain from any cheating by looking things up.

Question 1... What FIRST name is most common among the top 120 RB's

Question 2... What FIRST name is most common among the top 120 WR's?


The correct answer for each question occurs SEVEN times on each list.

Bonus Q... on the RB top 120 list... which first name appears FOUR times?

I will post the answer in an hour or confirm the right answer if I see it posted before then. One answer per poster. Multiple guesses will be ignored. I will judge your first answer.

I am having trouble sorting thru the numerous posts. There is a tangible excitement to this trivia that was unanticipated. The response has been nothing short of spectacular. (I am going to bed and hopefully remember to check this thread when I get up on Sat. AM)

add Mike Wallace and Mike Williams (TB) to the WR (maybe Mike Williams from Sea too?)

Nice job Chrishhansen...

How about first name for QB's? The most popular FIRST name for QB's shows up SIX times in the top 60.

aka.. Rod Smart. Rod was not an award winning name in this trivia.. but he Hate me is certainly notable. Again...

(a higher ratio than Mike for RBs and WR's which was top 120)

Yep.. Matt it is. 6 Matt's or Matthew's in the top 60 QB's. Good job 5team !

Kind of odd how Mike is so popular at other positions whereas Matt is even more popular at QB

QB Matts:

Matt Schaub, Ryan, Stafford, Cassell, Hasselbeck, Flynn, Leinart


Oh snap that's seven. I didn't count Leinart the first time. (for good reason) That guy skews any stat he is a part of
