ESPN has all those channels and lots of time to fill. So I guess you gotta put something on.

It's either the spelling bee or perhaps they could rerun the same Sportscenter a few more times a day.

Personally I like watching it. If you get a chance check out the movie "Spellbound". Might give you a different perspective.

Ive seen them do it, they had the coverage of that really crazy girl who won it about 8 years ago, you would know her if you saw it, she sort of put modern day spelling bee back on the map in my opinion. She was wierd.
