Actually sad. The kid is 15 and in 8th grade obviously something isn't right with him but he's still probably smarter than a lot of us. Who did win?

My first reaction as well- seemed to me like he could easily be one of those weirdos that shoot up schools.

Florida takes an L because a kid was excited about doing something positive like competing in a spelling bee?
Yeah ok. Terrible thread. Just terrible

While we're assembled, I just want to share what I think is the GOAT Scripps Spelling Bee moment

I'm just teasing
Props to the winners. I wish my parents enrolled me in something like this as a child. 30k cash towards college tuition is way better than 30k in student loan debt

I laughed so hard when I watched this on ESPN - poor kid, man. Not only did he get the word wrong, but that awkward self-assured response

Right... because spelling is the only part of a spelling bee...
I had glimpses of it while I was at the gym. My first reaction was, why is a spelling bee on ESPN. I know they've had it for years, but how much of ESPN's demographic would actually care about a spelling bee? Also, it surprises me that some of these kids would rather just sit there and let the clock expire when they don't know how to spell a word. I don't know the rules, but is there a benefit for not attempting over spelling it wrong?
