Lame: What is sports shaming of "Jeopardy!" contestants?

It happens every few months. We sports fans and journalists get to make fun of how "Jeopardy!" contestants don't know the question to an obvious sports answer.

The latest clip came from a trio of celebrities on the "Power Players Week" episode that aired Tuesday. Three news media types, CNN's Anderson Cooper, CBS's Lara Logan and MSNBC's Michael Steele, who all whiffed in not knowing Cam Newton was the Carolina Panther who was the first rookie to pass for over 4,000 yards in a season.

It's May in the NFL, and it's Cam and the NFL, so it's natural it became a sports story everywhere, from Sporting News to ESPN.
