$100 for "Clueless"

 I don't know if being Alex Trebek is Aaron Rodgers' next career move. I mean, Alex didn't win the gig by throwing a seed down the seam into a skinny two-deep window, so that line on Rodgers' resume probably wouldn't be useful.

What I do know is he's been an exemplary guest host for "Jeopardy!" these last two weeks, and he didn't even have Davante Adams or Robert Tonyan hanging around to bail him out.  So maybe this is what life after football could look like for him.

One thing's for sure, though.

Like everyone else, he'll never match the exquisite mix of sorrow, pity and veiled disdain Alex used to achieve with two words: "Nooo, sorry."

Rodgers could have used this superpower the other day, when all three of the Jeopardy! contestants whiffed on a setup line so obvious it might as well have been prancing naked around the set. 

It was the $400 clue under the category "Title Waves," and it went like this: "In the 1960s these midwesterners earned 5 NFL championships trophies."

The collective response from the dunderheads: "Uhhhhh ..."

Like the rest of us, Rodgers was amazed he had to tell them the answer was "Who are the Green Bay Packers?"

I mean, Aaron Rodgers plays for the Green Bay Packers. Famously so. And even if they don't follow the NFL or sports in general, it's impossible to believe the contestants didn't put two and two together.

This is the part where the Blob always imagines it could kick Daily Double ass if it ever got on Jeopardy! That's not an isolated fantasy of mine, either. How many times have all of us sat at home just knowing we could send Matthew the schoolteacher from Cedar Rapids back home to Herbert Hoover Elementary?

Of course, this is nothing but hubris. Speaking for myself, I have no doubt that as soon as the cameras went on, I'd freeze like Jack Nicholson at the end of "The Shining." I'd be the one saying "Uhhhh ..." over the $400 answer, "This U.S, president is buried in Grant's Tomb."

And yet ...

The Green Bay Packers, people.

Come on.
