Yesterday, was the 2019 Scripps National Spelling Bee and they had not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven but eight winners. How did that happen? After 20 rounds, nine hours and spelling 152 words correctly, they ran out of words to challenge the Octochamps: Erin Howard; Rishik Gandhasri; Abhijay Kodali; Shruthika Padhy; Rohan Raja; Saketh Sundar; Sohum Sukhatankar; and Christopher Serrao.
I might not be that smart because I was eliminated from a spelling bee due to the word imbecile; but isn’t there a book with an endless amount of words they could use to get some more. You know, like a dictionary? I guess not.
It was a costly decision because it cost them $400,000, $50,000 per kid. You better believe there are going to be changes to next year’s competition. As exciting as it is to watch, it ain’t cheap to have that many winners.
BTW the Octochamps were on Good Morning America today and they were all happy to share the win. I wonder if they would have felt the same if they had to share the $50,000 grand prize. What are they going to do with their winnings? Save it for college, of course. They are smart kids. Unlike me who would have thrown a massive party with the money. Which is why I was taken down by imbecile. That and my teachers hated me!

I went to the University of Miami and we won a lot of national championships while I was there; but nothing as titillating as what Auburn won yesterday. They were crowned the champs of the Sex Tournament. I guess I went to the wrong school.
Or did I? Someone at CBS 42 in Birmingham, was so excited about the win, that they hit the X instead of the C on the keyboard. Which means they actually won the SEC tournament instead. Major let down for everyone including us.
Although, I am sure a lot of players were slam dunking after the game. You know, playing their own sex tournaments.
I don’t watch car races, but I do watch their crashes. Therefore, I enjoyed the 21 car crash that happened today at the Daytona 500 as the cars were rounding their third turn.
If Paul Menard did not try to take out Matt DiBenedetto, then he would have finished the race instead of being finished with 20 other cars with 10 laps to go.
Thankfully, only the racer’s egos were hurt and nothing else.
On Sunday, Julian Edelman was named MVP of the Super Bowl and all we saw was his beard. Today, on Ellen, she talks to The Patriots player about that big bushy thing. He reveals to her that the coach told him to put everything away at the beginning of the season. Therefore, he put his razor away and has not shaved in 9 months.
That is when Ellen DeGeneres told him that she will donate $10,000 to the Boys & Girls Club in his name if he lets her shave off that furry mess. Not only did he agree to do it, he matched her donation.
Then off the went to do it and off it went. When she was done, the MVP scored a touchdown in the looks department. Who knew such a good looking man was under all of that hair? I want to play baseball with the football player if you know what I mean!
Seriously though, I respect him so much for not only doing it but also for matching her donation without even being asked to do it. That show that he is as good of a person as he is a player.
