Alex Trebek is Canadian but why does he allow “Jeopardy” contestants to embarass themselves at the expense of the coolest sport on Earth? The “Jeopardy” producers know they’re dealing with a collection of eggheads, bookworms and Sheldon types from “The Big Bang Theory”. So most sports questions are begging for the obvious answer and hence any question about hockey stats will have an answer of “Wayne Gretzky”.
Yes, “Jeopardy”, we get it: No one knows shit about the NHL in the U.S. Even if you give them the answer in the question, they still can’t answer it.

Glass-banging Fan Gets Knocked Down

Banging on the glass during a fight or a scrum adds to the aesthetic, but the idiots that jump out of their corporately owned seats and put palms to panes whenever there’s a player within five feet of their viewing window … well, there really isn’t enough overpriced arena beer with which to soak them.
Idiots that bang on the glass make you want to applaud the morons who yell SHOOT during the power play. The fan that took a tumble on that collision was OK, and hopefully was able to appreciate the concept of karma. This has been a Public Service Announcement on behalf of everyone else in and around your section.
