If you think the sports questions on Jeopardy are tough, you've never seen Stump the Schwab on ESPN. I'd go entire episodes lucky to get a couple of questions right, and I usually mop up sports categories on Jeopardy.

A lot of sports "trivia" is just boring. Good trivia has a hook, where if you don't know the answer you feel like you learned something interesting. Lazy sports trivia writers just default to "who won the batting title in 1963?"

You're not going to find a whole lot in their brains but sports, sports, and more sports.

That's different from boring! For an in-depth exploration of the difference I recommend "Braniac," by obscure author Ken Jennings.

Speaking of trivia, I'm hoping I won't get in trouble if I ask if anyone here has a Learned League referral they might be willing to throw my way. I keep hearing about it, would really like to give it a shot.

Basically, everyone’s local affiliate listed episodes are still airing this week, like you would for a Best-of-7 sports finals, but didn’t include a TBA/TBD/If Needed/Whatever element in there. Since Ken wrapped it up in four, they’re all just showing reruns of filler.

I was at a BBQ restaurant with my wife and in-laws when the replay of my episode aired, and half of the TVs were tuned to Jeopardy. It was weird as hell.

Why the gently caress would i ever want to see it Yeah I have friends ask me for the link to mine still and I’m just like “yeah here sure it was great being on tv and Alex is great okay let’s talk about something different” It’s such a trip to study and practice and look forward to something for so long and then be the third best player on the stage by a mile (me, not necessarily any of y’all) and then have it indelibly etched in television history If you told 20 year old me I’d be on jeopardy I’d imagine I had it constantly playing on loop on ten TVs but instead I don’t even want to think about anything tangentially related to it

I'd imagine the thread about Jeopardy would attract any goon that's been on (since you're gonna be a hardcore fan of the show if you ever got on).
