I don't think it's really a VFD candidate either. It was started by an anon as a single sentence stub, then the same anon changed the sentence to an external link, so I rewrote and wikified the original sentence. I think it's fine as a starter stub and doesn't need deleting. Exploding Boy 18:15, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

I seem to recall McGrath completely kicking ass on Jeopardy a few years back (~2001 or so?) Does anyone have info on this? it would make a good addition to the entry...

Yeah, that's why I came to look at this article! I remember happening upon it while channel surfing. I think he had thousands of dollars and everybody else was near broke. He got the most obscure questions too... 199.246.40.54 ( talk) 18:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
