The First Annual Athlete Spelling Bee

Welcome to the 2011 Athlete Spelling Bee. Let's get started. Mr. Chad Ochocinco, you are first to go.

I'm ready.

Okay. Your word is "shaking".

"Shaking". Can you use it in a sentence?

"I am shaking my damn head."

Shaking. S-.

Wait. You're done?

Yes. Shaking is spelled "S". And for extra credit, "my damn head" is spelled M-D-H.

You are wrong. Next speller. Ben Roethlisberger?

Hit me.

Your word is "no".

No. Y-E-S. No.

Wrong. Very wrong. Tim Tebow? You're next.

I am ready for my word. God bless.

Your word is "touchdown".

Alright! I know this one. Touchdown. T-O-U-C-H-D-O-W-N space G-O-D space B-L-E-S-S. Touchdown.

Wrong.

God bless.

Mike Miller of the Miami Heat? You're next.

'Sup. I'm ready, yo.

Your word is "brother".

Did you say "brah" or "bro"?

Neither. I said "brother".

"Bro"?

Brother.

"Bro", brah?

Yes?

Nice, bro, niiiiice.

So how is "brother" spelled?

I have no idea, bro.

Okay, you're eliminated. Terrelle Pryor, you're next.

I'm ready.

Your word is "hypotrichosis".

"Hypotrichosis". That's pretty hard.

It is. Do you know how to spell it?

Just give me a minute here.

What are you doing?

I'm looking that word up on this new iPad someone gave me.

You can't do that. That's cheating.

Says you. I'm doing it. Hypotrichosis is spelled H-Y-P-O-T-R-I-C-H-O-S-I-S.

That's correct. You win the spelling bee.

I'll take my award in tattoos, thanks.
