'Jeopardy!' Landed a Haymaker On Ryan Leaf

Even in the middle of one of the most historic tournaments in Jeopardy! history, Alex Trebek and his producers still found a moment to trash on Ryan Leaf's career.

The clue: "In 1998, football fans debated who was the NCAA's best quarterback: Peyton Manning or this Washington State University Cougar. Their pro careers went opposite ways."

The question was asked during Thursday's airing of Jeopardy!'s "The Greatest of All-Time" tournament, in which the top three all-time earners in the show's history are facing off. 32-time champion James Holzhauer, 74-time winner Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter are competing in a best-of-seven format for a grand prize of $1 million.
