Watch these precious 'Jeopardy' contestants tank while trying to answer sports questions
The war between jocks and nerds never fully ended and it never should.
Take these tender little Jeopardy contestants, who struggled so hard last night to answer questions about the NFL and just ... oh god.
The contestants, who have to be versed in everything from ancient Greek mythology to rando Jupiter moons just to compete, decided to save the patently easy NFL category for last.
You can see why.
No one could identify who "Mean" Joe Greene was, even though he's a legendary Pittsburgh Steelers player. Bless their dork souls, these contestants didn't even try.
Shortly after, one contestant tried to identify NFL player Marcus Allen by answering that he plays for the Colorado Rockies. Never mind that the Colorado Rockies is a baseball team, not a football team, and Allen has no connection to the state.
I'll take "I've never identified harder in my life" for $1,000,000, please.
