Never heard of Bartolo "Big Sexy" Colon?

What about The Fearsom Foursom

What about the jets awesome defensive line 1982. “The New York “Sack Exchange

@@daltontannery3243 And the Cowboys were the Doomsday Defense. But I agree, the Purple People Eaters was the best. It was a song back in the 50s and the Vikings' uniforms were purple, so it seemed fitting. And they were great - four pro bowlers and one Hall of Famer.

@@JewandGreek i forgot all about that song........Merlin Olson had absolutely no rhythm 😂😂😂😂

I remember watching this and laughing uncontrollably at "If one of you buzzes in and gets this....I...will die...."

Haha I sense the sarcasm 😂.

Same I never knew about the Purple People Eaters

turn fair to a lot and you'll get there

Who the fuck is Tom Landry?

@@SpreadingtheMuseI don’t know I have never heard of him.

@@SpreadingtheMuseLegendary Cowboys Coach he coached Roger Staubach

Probably not. A lot of contestants don’t know sports. You should study that before you get on Jeopardy!

@@fable9159agreed! Even if both of those contestants aren’t sports fans, at least do some studying on sports because games shows will have questions about sports all the time.

If you did say read option, I think they would’ve accepted it.

Taking pride in ignorance? I wish I could say that's a first

@@thammar1990 I know a lot about important things. Football isn't.

Do you want a cookie

@@Whatever-fe7xn most likely a brat and a beer

They had to. It was the last category in that round.

I got 4/5 and my dad is a vikings fan. He looked at me with such disappointment since i didn’t know the last one

Football never has, and never will, be any cornerstone of Jeopardy. This is show about science and history and culture for people who actually read a book once in a while. Bear in mind, there's a clip around here of famous football coaches reacting to this video...and THEN being asked the Final Jeopardy question. They all got it wrong.

@@SpreadingtheMuse sports, entertainment, and pop culture almost always have a category on jeopardy. And sports is very much "culture".

@@thammar1990 "pop culture" and sports are two different categories. Whereas movies and books are frequently asked questions, specific sports categories like this one are far rarer. The kind of person who could name a starting line-up from forty years ago are also, for better or worse, the same people who likely havent read a book in too long a time. [There's a clip somewhere of famous NFL coaches laughing at this clip...and then being asked the Final Jeopardy question from the same show. They all got it wrong.]

What a shit take and generalization. I've watch football religiously since I was a kid, played in high school. Also has great grades in high school and I happen to read every day and am always looking to expand my knowledge. I know many other fans of the sport who are the same. Loving football doesn't mean you aren't intelligent, just as not loving football doesn't make you smarter or more enlightened.

Not everyone is a fan of football

I'm a full American and dont give a damn about football.

The vast majority of contestants are US citizens, or at least residents. Sometimes there are a few Canadians, but I don't know if any of these three are.

I remember this. I love BBQ, beer, and I don't like football. Al. All.

I enjoy my beer and BBQ sitting in a backyard (or better yet, at a cabin on a lake). I don't feel a bit deprived not having TV on at those times.

I have a daughter who is about to become a doctor, and a special ed professional for a wife, who both not only love football, but also know the rules. Sorry, just bragging. Fins up! 🐬👆🏻

@@jeffnaslund Those are reasons to be proud of. I agree. However, even if they didn't know the rules and weren´t interested in football, it's not a reason to laugh at them. I can sincerely admit that I didn´t know a single answer to these questions, but I have a university degree in two different natural sciences. I love soccer (btw. for us football = soccer) and ice hockey, those are our national sports. I even practice sports myself. Nevertheless, I can't stand American football. For me it's extremely boring sport and quarterback is a dude that catches a ball from few meters and throws it to someone else - nothing spectacular. However, that's only my personal opinion and I respect people that like it. There are millions of people around the world that don't like ice hockey or even don't know what it is, but it's not worth contempt or laugh. Everyone has some strengths and some weaknesses, that's what makes the world nice and interesting. :)

@@refgenesis just chill a bit, there Sparky. It's extremely rare for all 3 Jeopardy contestants to not be able to get a single clue in a whole category so that is noteworthy. Nobody is making fun of them for that, the interest is mainly in the category - something so perfectly American that most would assume everyone has been exposed to/knows something about. The fact that they didn't is actually funny but still nobody is making fun of them, it's just really odd.

Please. You realize there are people out there trying to cure cancer? And you're worried about dorky football trivia? Give me the cancer cure over overgrown man-children playing a kids game any day.

@@BezmenovDisciple Damn right. Your point is? ;) Who the fuck do you think is trying to cure cancer? The geeks, or the beer-swilling knuckle-draggers who watch lunkhead 'sports?'

@@BezmenovDisciple Ooops, the best SW collections I've seen are owned by engineers and PhDs. So sorry, you're a newb ;) I suppose the closest you've ever been to an actual scientist is accidentally selling mcnuggets to one. Don't worry, the world needs Mcjobs too ;)

Knowing about 18th century Austrian composers is SOOOO much more important than the NFL...or is it?

@@SpreadingtheMuse Because having casual knowledge of 19th century Spanish impressionists or whatever is SOOO important in today's job market.
