Happy Birthday in advance to ABC/ESPN's Erin Andrews.
The Most Popular Human in the Sports Blogosphere turns 30 Sunday.
Which reminds me I don't think I've mentioned Ms. Andrews is going to serve as the sideline reporter for the Scripps National Spelling Bee finale May 30.
Watching her interview the young lads in the competition figures to be even more amusing (and uncomfortable) than her interviews with players during the Little League World Series.
If they really want to test these kids' composure, have Erin stand next to them and give them the words to spell.
Why did nothing like this ever happen to me when I was 12? I should have worked harder at spelling or baseball or both.
Tom (Dancing With the Stars) Bergeron is going to host the ABC portion of the Bee, by the way, after Chris McKendry handles the ESPN part of the final rounds.

The word is "lascivious".
"Could you use the word in a sentence?"
"Between constestants, the moderator is looking at Ms. Andrews with a lascivious eye".
I'm fairly sure that girls are still i-c-k-y to the boys in that contest, particularly the home-schooled ones.
