“Jeopardy!” guest host and Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, reacts to the game show contestants’ inability to answer a question about his team.
Mike Richards, the former 'Jeopardy!' producer who was famously fired after one day as the TV game show's new host, is speaking out about his experience and revealing that he thinks Aaron Rodgers was the most prepared to replace the late Alex Trebek. Richards was tapped to host 'Jeopardy!' following the death of longtime, beloved host Trebek in 2020 from pancreatic cancer. However, he quickly lost the job after hateful comments he'd made years earlier resurfaced.

NFL Salary Cap , Rises $30.6 Million.
On Feb. 23, the NFL announced that its
2024 season salary cap will be $255.4 million per team, a record high, ESPN reports.
That is 13.6% more than last year's
cap and the largest single-year jump
since a cap was introduced in 1994.
The change could have a significant effect on the free agent market which opens in March.
That's because most teams were using salary cap projections between $240 million and $245 million
as budget guidelines for the new season.
For example, three teams that were
originally projected to exceed the cap,
the 49ers, Packers and Seahawks, should
now fall below the cap, ESPN reports. .

Part of the reason why the NFL was able to increase the cap so much is that the league has finally paid all player benefits that
were deferred amid COVID in 2020.
"An extraordinary increase in media revenue" also contributed to the increase, the NFL said.
Between 2013 and 2020, the salary
cap was increased by approximately
$10 million to $12 million each year.

It dropped by almost $17 million

But in 2022, it rose to $208.2 million,
and in 2023, it jumped to $224.8 million
