It was a head butt. A minor one, but on replays it was absolutely clear Vertongen was head butted - there's a moment where you see his head jerk back slightly before the all out flop. Zolzuya deserved a red card, plainly, and Vertongen should've gotten a yellow.

The song category was all but sewn up by Frozen's Let It Go up until recently…but Happy from Despicable Me 2 has been EVERYWHERE for the last few weeks, and it just may sneak in. It may just depend on when folks voted...

He's VERY happy. He says 'Mais non' quietly, then the ball bounces in and he flips out - hard to make out what he's yelling "C'est (something) ici!" or "It's (something) here!" and I think he yells Goal as well. And possibly some stroke inspired guttural noises.

I hate when people butt in like that.

I would love to hear some contemporary pieces written or transposed for it (like by John Adams). Very, very interesting instrument.

He is truly one of the most bonkers, incomprehensible, hilariously nonsensical announcers in the history of announcing. There's a tumblr dedicated to him, but it looks like the most recent entries are 2012…If you want a good chuckle it's still worth a read. http://rayhudsonquotes.tumblr.com

I somehow lucked into seeing it (I have no clue when any event is going to show). Amazing save. Saw her interview with Costas too, and I couldn't believe she was only 18 - she's got a very composed wry, dry wit. It was very cute when Bob showed her her family at home going bonkers at the win. She said something like

If you're rich enough to own a Rolls, and you're drunk…take a damn cab. Or hire yourself a driver.

I can't stop laughing at that.

Well, considering he has about 1 1/2 moves (which are, without a doubt, devastatingly effective), that's not too bad a - look out, he's cutting left from the right flank again!

No shit. I am so pissed.

Fox Fucking Sports 2 and Fox Fucking Sports Plus aren't in the Chicago area on Comcast so I can't watch Bayern destroy the Gooners.

I prefer his croissant to his roll.

The EMP is an odd duck - it truly is ugly from afar, basically a multi-colored turd (and I'm generally a Gehry fan), but close up, walking around it, it's really beautiful.

When I was into comic books (85-95 or so) I loved American Flagg. Great art, great satire.

He truly is the cream of the crop.

Git 'er done! (I think we have more crimes to comedy to answer for than Russia…hickory dickory dock…)

There is no specific way Jeopardy is meant to be played. There are 5 answers of differing values and however many categories. You are allowed to pick ANY of the available answers. Period. It's just nobody ever does. It's not a glitch or a hack or cheating or anything. It's just different.

Congrats to you for winning once, but what does "etiquette" have to do with game shows? I don't believe I've ever read anything in Miss Manners or Emily Post regarding the 'proper' way to play Jeopardy.

I love modern architecture, but I've been in the Himmelhaus in Venice and did not like it. A very uncomfortable space that felt poorly laid out. Everything was cramped, and for being a beach area home it was cold and lacking in charm. It LOOKS interesting, but I would hate to live there.
