I am participating in the ESPN Spelling Bee at ESPN Zone in Times Square tonight at 7 p.m. so come root me on!

I will be asked to spell the names of sports figures (coaches, players, broadcasters, etc), alive or deceased. They may ask me to spell either the first name or last name. I fully expect to get bumped in the first round but who knows, it's luck of the draw if I remember my 3rd grade spelling bee correctly.

Want to battle against me? If so, email your name, address, phone number and birth year to this address: SportsSpellingBee@espnzone.com.

Walk-up entries will be accepted if space is available. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m.
