The JG

040721_jennings.jpg

ESPN.com has a great article on Ken Jennings (a.k.a., The Jeopardy Guy or The JG).

Here is an excerpt:

There's something comforting about seeing the JG's smiling, Stepford mug every night, and the way he shakes his head in disbelief as Trebek announces his absurd money total. (Of course, the number should be higher. Isn't this streak 10 times more impressive than someone rattling off 10 answers on Regis' Millionaire show?) Maybe he's boring; maybe he's unlikable. But like the truly great ones, he raises his game when it matters. Who else can you count on to do that these days?

Read the whole article for a good laugh. It's all so true.

The article was pretty funny. I've been watching like 5-10 minutes of Jeopardy (when I get a chance) since he started and it is pretty easy to get hooked into following his streak.
