Oh my, Aaron Rodgers will host an episode of Jeopardy.

Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers received the chance to serve as the guest host for an upcoming episode of Jeopardy!.

The series is rotating through hosts following the death of longtime star Alex Trebek, and the nine-time Pro Bowler said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show he was given a slot for an edition that will hit the airwaves "pretty soon."

Dan Patrick did sports jeopardy and he detailed how the regular how is done. 5 shows a day or 10 sports. 5 sets of 10 days gets you 250 shows which is roughly 365 - 52 weekends. They shoot every other month basically.

I read elsewhere that Wheel does 10 straight days right after or before Jeopardy with the same camera and tech crew.

But I like him - took a lot of heat as a Packer fan back in '05 for supporting that pick. But most of the other Packer fans came around to my side by 2010

I am a little less enthusiastic about Jordan Love, but I am going to give Packer management the benefit of the doubt because the A-Rod era (like the Brett Favre era) won't last forever. If they can improve Jordan Love's throwing mechanics so that he is more accurate, I think Jordan could be a steal.

He talked about it extensively in his book, and how he worked hard to keep it in check.
