A bit of a rant...

If you are a football fan, I hope you have a bit of understanding that the world does not revolve around that sport...nor baseball, nor basketball.
They are entertainment.

They are not my choice of entertainment.  If you can understand that many people like to watch regular shows on TV, and don't want the infringement of a non-favorite uninteresting show that bumps their favorites...can you grasp that concept?

Why would a major network put the choices of players for football teams, not even a game, on instead of Jeopardy?

It has happened before, and I thought it was a decision of a local station.  Now it seems it was the network all across the country.

Why would I be upset about this?

Jeopardy has been having 16 straight winning games by one young man, that's why.  He's won over a million dollars, and I've watched all but one of the shows.  It's amazing.

And tonight the picks of players for the NFL was on, while the Jeopardy show was happening. (I know it's taped, and I may get it on YouTube TV tomorrow.)  I am just astounded.  And I could always wake up again at 2:30 am in the morning to see the same show.  The last time that it was bumped was during the championships...the final night even.  This is a show that is enduring, and has millions of fans.

And now that Alex Trebek has pancreatic cancer, I want to see as many shows as I can while he is healthy enough to do them.
