Jeopardy star James Holzhauer had an excellent response to Andrew Luck's retirement
For much of the summer, James Holzhauer captured the attention of fans as he went on a record-breaking run on Jeopardy. He looked unstoppable on his 32-day winning streak, breaking the $100,000 mark six times. And really, many thought he would cruise to Ken Jennings’ record of 74 wins.
That was until, shockingly, Holzhauer lost on Day 33.
In the months since, Jeopardy fanatics have theorized over the loss — something had to happen. Well, leave it to Andrew Luck’s retirement to have Holzhauer adding fuel to the fire.
After Saturday’s announcement, Holzhauer posted a tweet to comment on Luck’s inspirational ability to make the tough decision and walk away at the right time.
Imagine that …
Holzhauer often jokes about his defeat, and that’s what he’s doing here. But still, that tweet will do little to put aside the conspiracy theories that he lost on purpose because he missed his young daughter.
Jokes aside, Holzhauer’s take is spot on. Luck made the difficult move to do what was best for him and his health when the love for the game was gone.
