ESPN has covered some pretty unusual competitions in recent years, such as billiards, cheerleading, poker, even live coverage of the national spelling bee.
Last weekend, ESPN added a new one -- the U.S. Scrabble Open.
You read that right. Scrabble, that cardboard game with little blocks of letters that you use to form complete words, is a national competition worthy of ESPN coverage. This wasn't late night entertainment either. The event was shown on Sunday afternoon. With baseball playoffs set to begin, football season well underway, and hockey and basketball seasons on deck, you would think the sports network had better programming options.
