Alright guys and gals, here's one I don't understand, ESPN has been doing coverage of the national spelling bee for at least two years. I don't see how this belongs on the network considering that most of these kids probably don't have a shot at being on the sports pages anytime soon. Worst thing about this as far as I'm concerned is it usually happens during baseball season, meaning valuable time that I could be wasting screaming at Yankees opponents or teams that I hate have to be wasted elsewhere because of a bunch of unibrowed, pencil necked, dweebs whose only excersize is running away from bullies and the closest they've come to swimming is getting a "swirly".
Now that I've vented, seriously, how many sports fans could there possibly be that would actually sit back and watch a national spelling bee, this also goes for the Magic tournaments and other offshoot things such as dog shows. Poker and Billiards I can understand (while it is heavily debated whether pool is a sport or game and poker is a game) since many sports fans love to play both.
