Bryan the Intern's Picks to Click

Fight for the BTI Live Blog.  One hour: Me vs You.  It can happen if you push for it.  Oh, and Matt agrees to it.  1. Luke Winn of cnnsi.com pairs together two very attractive words: Kentucky and Unstoppable2. Winn also highlights Mississippi St. and says that if it weren't for Kentucky, the Bulldogs would have been the top story of the summer. 3. Most boring sport to watch on television:  Soccer, Hockey, or Baseball?  Let's even go further and say which sport's premeire event is more boring to watch:  Champions League Soccer Final, Game 7 World Series, or Stanley Cup Game 7?  To be each sport's "Super Bowl", they are fairly not entertaining to watch.  And I DID watch the entire soccer match yesterday, and it was worse than watching a spelling bee.  But, if hockey insitutues these new rule changes, the sport could quickly become much more exciting! 4. Speaking of a spelling bee, did you know that the National Spelling Bee finals are tonight on PRIMETIME TV!!!  Has there been a more ridiculous idea than putting the spelling bee on prime time tv?  Although, I gotta admit, watching the awkward children try and spell has it's funny moments.  Those kids are so strange they make me, Matt, and Beisner look like the Rat Pack cool.  Anywho, here are some of the funniest spelling bee moments, my favorite being the kid who thought he was being asked to spell "numnuts". For those of you would like to follow high school sports in Kentucky, both the baseball and softball playoffs are in full force, so I thought I would give you a rundown of who are the teams to beat heading towards the state tournaments.  Also, if you are not able to follow your alma mater, maybe this can give you a chance to see how you school is doing.  First up is baseball: State Baseball Top 25 (Defending champ: Pleasure Ridge Park) 1.
