ESPN Jeopardy

[Glenn's Take]

Pretty fun watch for sports fans.

Plenty woke I'm sure.

I can't believe Hannah Storm has been in sports media for decades and knows absolutely nothing about sports. I'm not sure how that happens.

She finished with -5,700 and if not for pop culture questions would have been worse than that.

That’s all ESPN is about so why not bring it to a thread discussing a show ESPN is airing….that cess pool of a network has been nothing BUT politics for a decade or more.

You waited almost a week, and couldn't help yourself. Shocking.

Sounds to me like the thread is about a game show, not whatever you're ranting on about lol.

I have no idea what you're referring to.

Probably something about the "ESPN" in the thread title.

I didn't know seeing 'ESPN' in a thread title would be so triggering.

It was a fun watch. Some of the scores were surprising low. I would expect people working in the sports business would know more about sports. Not to be the old guy (but I guess I will) that as I've long thought. The younger generation knows absolutely nothing about anything that happened before they were born. I could have told you a lot about the sports that occurred 50 years before I was born. You ask them who Bill Russell is and they have no clue.

Puzzling take, Glenn.

Had a conversation with a young whippersnapper some time ago that had never heard of Led Zepplin. I asked how that could be, and she answered that she always just listened to whatever song she picked on her streaming service. Growing up I had to listen to the radio and the oldies stations and shows with old music etc so I was exposed to everything. But that’s not the case anymore, people simply stream or choose everything they consume by choice. If a girl wanted to just listen to Taylor Swift for the next two months and only Taylor Swift she could easily and readily do that. It’s kind of fascinating really.

It’s why brain rot is so bad now.

Thanks for bringing culture to the thread

FIFY. Just because everything is political today does not mean woke is synonymous with politics. Woke is more akin to a fundamentalist religion. Politics caters to religious beliefs for votes. Nightwish, for example, is part of that religion and will go on the attack whenever he perceives a threat.
