Not content to win $2.5 million from Jeopardy, Ken Kennings has a website and blog where he has quite a few unkind things to say about the show and Alex Trebek.
His site’s at www.ken-jennings.com but he’s apparently not willing to use any of that $2.5 million to buy good hosting. The site’s delivering a “This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota” error today.
When Ken’s website is working, SDMB veterans will quickly realize he swiped the navigation concept from the SDMB. Even if we’ve not used the big brain for a few years, it’s ours!
When I hear “sore winner,” I think it means he was rude to the losing contestants. Plenty of people who watch Jeopardy complain about Trebek, so I guess it’s no surprise that Ken might not love him either. Perhaps Ken is costing himself a shot at future tournament appearances, however.
Nah. The ratings draw of bringing back the Super-Champ will outweigh any personal pique felt by Trebek. Does he even have that much control over the show?

Ken was just joking, I think. He was having a little fun. And it made me laugh. After all, a man who says this obviously doesn’t have hard feelings about the show:
