My family has proudly resisted having cable TV for a number of years now. Not a moral decision as much as a financial one. Honestly, there are times when its challenging (UK basketball season is tough...this year was tough for lots of reasons...) But here is a reason NOT to have cable TV. I just heard with some level of amusement that ESPN 2, "The Deuce" as its called by those in-the-know, is covering the Spelling Bee. Come on, Curling is a lame enough sport. But the Spelling Bee?
I can just imagine some of the words that might come up on ESPN's version:
S-T-E-R-O-I-D
O-V-E-R-P-A-I-D
U-N-D-E-R-A-C-H-I-E-V-E
Feel free to add your own words to the list.

Shut up!! I love both the spelling bee and curling. Now, I'm no fan of professional sports and the thugs posing as athletes, but I won't stand by while potshots are hurled at curlers and spelling-bee'ers.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen the documentary, "Spellbound?" Good stuff.
