Cardinals on Jeopardy

Cardinals on Jeopardy

With the news about Alex Trebek, I thought it would be a good time for this. I thought about it a couple years ago when the Palmer question came up. But I didn't think there would be much else. Then I saw they had this Jeopardy archive site, so I decided to search the Cardinals and see what came up: http://www.j-archive.com/. There was alot more than I expected.

The criteria: Any mention of the Cardinals, or any member of the Cardinals at the time the question was asked (So no Broncos Plummer or Rams Warner), or any career Cardinal like Pat Tillman. There might be some that I missed. I only searched so many key players and coaches.

The show first aired Sept 10, 1984. It took 1194 episodes before the Cardinals came up 5 years later. I broke it up into decades:

1980s: 1 question
1990s: 6 questions
2000s: 9 questions
2010s: 13 questions

Total Cardinals questions: 29. Most questions: Pat Tillman with 6. Larry and Warner had 1 each. Palmer had 2.

I'll try to add new ones as they come up, if the show continues.

So sad to see Trebek is going to pass. From all accounts, he seemed like a great guy.
