The Best Sports Day of the Year!!!


Some call it Super Bowl Sunday. Others like the Kentucky Derby. But they all pale in comparison to the National Spelling Bee!!!

Think about it. When else do some many home schooled kids get released in public? What other event sees players faint while they are in the heat of competition? Where else could you see the comedy stylings of Samir Patel?!?

Speaking of Patel, this heavyweight got knocked out early. But now he's challenging and trying to work his way back in. (Update: He was denied!!!!) Oh the drama! I'm so glad this event is now on network television. I heart you ABC!

It is also very confusing. It's the National Spelling Bee, but there are competitors from places like Canada and Jamaica. I guess it's spelling and not vocabulary that really matters.
