hijacks are interesting. i think everyone on the internet has done it to some degree at some time.

just not in as pointlessly clunky a manner as this.

And on top of that, he couldn't possibly be more wrong. Despite missing the Ike question, the kid was obviously brilliant..

how brilliant would he have been if the little guy was right ? I guess, not too brilliant huh ? Me and wifey were rooting for the kid. I knew he would bet big on the Daily double. The little guy bet enough to win, if Leonard ddin't answer correctly. he did the math. This is strictly a betting strategy mistake. He thought he already had it won, but he didn't.

Obviously brilliant enough to be in position to win.

kind of like a jockey who misjudges the finish, and is fist pumping and waving to the crowd, and almost gets beat cause he was showboating.

you still didn't answer the question. what if the little guy was right ? then what? what would the headlines have said ?
