No Cheating by looking in the papers or internet
My friend gave me these questions today, it gets you totally thinking
1. Of the 4 Major sports (NFL,NHL,NBA,MLB)
There are only 8 teams that do not end in the letter "s"
Try and get them
Took me about 2 hours to get all 8
2. There are only 7 cities that have all 4 sports, has to be the same city name (Boston/NewEngland don't count).
I'll give the first one
New York
Giants/Jets
Rangers/Islanders
Mets/Yanks
Knicks
I only got 6, the last one I had to cheat.

MLB: Boston Red Sox
MLB: Chicago White Sox
NHL: Colorado Avalanche
NHL: Minnesota Wild
NHL: Tampa Bay Lightning
NBA: Utah Jazz
NBA: Miami Heat
NBA: Orlando Magic
Took about 20 minutes. Couldn't remember the final team.
For the teams, I'll only give one qualifier, even if they have more
1)New York [given]
----
2)Chicago: Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs
3)Atlanta: Falcons, Thrashers, Hawks, Braves
4)Philadelphia: Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, Phillies
5)Detroit: Lions, Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers
6)Washington DC: Redskins, Capitals, Wizards, Nationals
The seventh one is tough. At first I even thought "Hey, there are 4 "Minnesota [x]" teams, but the Minnesota NHL team plays in St. Paul, NOT Minneapolis - the other 3 play in Minneapolis.
I can't find the 7th city, then, for the life of me.

You were right on the seventh one
I couldn't get that one either

I just hope the 7th team I listed wasn't the 7th your friend had in mind...otherwise, as I pointed out, there are only 6.
If others can't find a 7th, I think that's OK.

I am pretty sure #7 is the one you listed because the rule was it had to be the same city/team name not the actual location

I am pretty sure #7 is the one you listed because the rule was it had to be the same city/team name not the actual location
I just assumed it was the inverse of the Boston/Patriots rule.

New one
Of the big 4, there are 16 teams that city name/team name start with the same letter
Chicago Cubs is one ... what are the other 15?
Took me about 30 mins to get 14, had to cheat to get the last 2
