Adam Bartel wrote a good blog about the Spelling Bee that was covered on ESPN which caused me to wonder if any of the geeks and home schooled bozo's even knew what ESPN stood for let alone a ton of the other acronyms.

I think next year, since ESPN is a sports channel they should have an Acronym event for all of those kids to see if they know what things like;

ESPN

ERA

RBI

LPGA

PGA

NFL

NBA

MLB

YAC

TD

INT

You get the picture.

Otherwise move the event to some Lifetime channel because spelling a word isn't a sport and most of those kids probably haven't talked to the opposite sex unless they were dancing around in their Barney outfits for a post Bee celebration.
