Draft kings

By now you've probably heard about Jeopardy's new stunt: the team tournament scheduled for February and March of next year.

But if you're gonna have teams, you gotta have a draft. We're into sports here, folks. So Jeopardy went on Facebook, and the six team captains drafted their squads from a pool of twelve past champs.

Much to my surprise Roger Craig didn't go #1 overall. That honor went to Alex Jacob, who will play on Buzzy Cohen's team. Roger didn't have to wait long, though. Austin Rogers snapped him up at #2 overall. Mr. Craig wasn't going to fall too far down the list.

The last draft pick was Jennifer Giles. So she'll probably do better than any of the higher picks. Isn't that the way it often happens with sports drafts?
