"Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek is dealing with a torn Achilles tendon after chasing a burglar in his hotel. The burglar turned out to be no match for the 72-year-old game show host.

This is how Trebek explained -- in typical Jeopardy fashion -- why he was hobbling on crutches.

"I'm going to start today with an answer to a question that I suspect is on many of your minds right now. The answer is at 2:30 yesterday morning, chasing a burglar down the hall at my San Francisco hotel," Trebek told the audience at the National Geographic World Championship event he was hosting at Google headquarters in Mountain View.

I made up a story like that once for a black eye suffered during softball. Some people bought it.

"I tore your mother's tendon last night, Trebek!"

I think the part I did not need a visual in my head of was: Trebek was reported to have needed to put on underwear between getting out of bed and exiting his room to pursue the burglar (Per info from Thursday's "Today" Show story on the burglary).

Good thing it wasn't "The Rapists."

Not a visual anyone needs, but truth be told, we all need a little freeballin' every now and then.

In addition to claiming she's a prostitute, the woman also claims she doesn't have a Cousin Patty.
