Jeopardy! Taunts Cleveland Browns On Twitter
The game show's contestants avoid sports categories, as a rule, leading the show to make a joke at the hapless Browns' expense.
CLEVELAND, OH — The Browns are so bad that even game shows are taking pot shots at them. The long-running quiz show Jeopardy! compiled a video of its contestants botching fairly simple sports questions. Then, in a Tweet, Jeopardy! said, "Our contestants answered as many clues in this category as the @Browns had wins this season."
Ouch. In case you forgot (which you didn't), the Browns went winless this season, compiling a perfect 0-16 record.
The game show even tagged the Browns in the Tweet. As followers of Jeopardy! said in response, "That's savage."

Still, the video is an amusing 120 second watch. Contestants miss questions like, "Tom Landry perfected the shotgun formation with this team" and "By signaling for one of these, a returner can reel in a kick without fear of getting tackled."
The answers, respectively, are: the Dallas Cowboys and a fair catch. Don't tell the contestants though.
