Of all the sports I have always seen the best looking women in the greatest numbers at hockey games... even in the bowels of the old Cleveland Arena. Last live game I attended was in San Diego for their Seagulls in the late 90's... was still true.

The Bengals game is coming up too fast this week to do a proper trivia on that subject. Thus I will do a somewhat quick hitter that won't rely on the Browns or their game.

1. Washington Redskins:

Began as the Boston Braves

4. Milwaukee Brewers:

24. Carolina Hurricane

That Devils franchise may be the original California Golden Seals franchise.

St. Louis Browns ... I don't know where they came from ... Boston?

Wizards/Bullets ... maybe they came form Rochester or Syracuse or something,

Hawks ... same answer.

Still got 4 teams to go.

Well done, Gip... especially for a short week.

2. Kansas City Chiefs: Dallas (as the Texans)

Check

4. Milwaukee Brewers: not sure, but the prior Milwaukee team, the Braves, moved to Atlanta and had come from Boston??? I remember having a Warren Spahn, Milwaukee Braves baseball card...

Maybe we can do some Milwaukee trivia......see Alice Cooper in Wayne's World for more info.

5. Washington Wizards: Baltimore (as the Bullets)? NO

6. San Antonio Spurs: Never followed the ABA...

7. New Jersey Devils: Denver (as the NHL Colorado Rockies)? NO

8. Colorado Avalanche: Quebec (as the WHA Nordiques) Check

10. St. Louis Rams: Cleveland (as the Rams) Check

11. Minnesota Twins: Washington, DC (as the Senators)? Check

12. Texas Rangers: want to say they were also Washington, DC and also the Senators??? Check

15. Arizona Coyotes: Winnipeg (as the WHA Jets)? Check

16. Winnepeg Jets: Atlanta? I know they had a team after the Flames who moved to Calgary... but I can't think of the 2nd Atlanta team's name...

Check

17. Chicago Bears: Decatur, IL (as the NFL Staleys... love that name) Check (named after a wrench company or something.

18. Arizona Cardinals: Chicago (as the Cardinals) Check

19. San Francisco Giants: NY Giants... not sure which borough... played in the Polo Grounds... Queens?

NY sufficient for check......the Polo Grounds were in Manhattan.

20. Los Angeles Dodgers: Brooklyn, NY Check

21. Houston Rockets: ashamed to say I do not know... few probably do.

22. LA Clippers... want to say Buffalo (as the NBA Braves? or Bisons?) I remember Ernie D and Bob McAdoo Check

23. Dallas Stars: Minnesota (as the NHL North Stars)... the AHL Cleveland Barons was a "farm team" for the North Stars and the Barons' "star" Goalie, Ernie Wakely, spent time with the parent team.

I am not sure that narrative is correct....but you got the question right. I thought there was a Barons NHL team that was folded into the North Stars.

The AHL Barons were a farm team....but I am not sure for who.

24. Carolina Hurricane: New England (as the WHA Whalers) later renamed Hartford Whalers.. I saw the three Howes (Gordy, Mark and Marty) play our Crusaders in Miletti's Richfield Coliseum while visiting my folks over Christmas one year.

25. Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore... it's a Gip-trick question...And you got it!! Check
