3rd Annual SportsNation Spelling Bee


Spelling Bee
"Why couldn't Ricky Williams just study business like everyone else!"
Everyone, listen up. The 78th Annual Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee is off and running in Washington, D.C. In honor of the bright young minds taking part in the bee, we proudly present the 3rd Annual SportsNation Spelling Bee.

Below you will find 10 names from the sports world that give our editors the yips. Pick the correct spelling and see how many you get right.

You will then be forwarded to the second half of our Spelling Bee, featuring 10 non-sports words. Good luck.

SportsNation results from 2004:
7-of-10 on Part 1
8-of-10 on Part 2
Total Score = 15

Be sure and tune in on Thursday (10 a.m. to noon ET and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN) for coverage of the 78th Annual Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee.
