Nice teaser, though I just can't shake the image of a football player playing tennis!
Good one! Keep them coming.
Yup, I know potch. That's the way I did it but I thought it mind need some proper explanation to it.

Kind of easy if you think about it in a different way
WOAH! Jake has this listed as his favorite. (out of two) lol congrats PM!
I added up all of the peeps that played the sports and divided it by 2.

Easy and fun.
All it takes is a 3x5 square grid and it's easier then anybody would believe.
