SI.com (Sports Illustrated) writer James Quintong (http://\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/james_quintong/12/14/jeopardy.part1/index.html\") was a contestant on Jeopardy!. The link goes to the first of two stories on his experience; the second part will run Friday (12-16. and I'll link to it in a followup post.

And something not mentioned in the article, some of the materials given to James were actually hand-me-downs on betting strategies written by our very own Matt O.
