Even if the Superbowl is the only football game you watch all year, you probably know what a fair catch or offsetting penalties are?
Jeopardy type minds wonder how most people are totally ignorant about the classics yet know every minute detail of most reality TV shows.
Absolutely no excuse for not knowing Tom Landry, I can see academic types not knowing the other four.
Overall though, I wholeheartedly agree that the typical Jeopardy contestant is woefully ignorant in regards to sports.
