ESPN's Erin Andrews talks about going from sports to spelling and how she prepares to cover the Bee in a story in today's Tampa Tribune.

"The cool part of this assignment is getting to know the stories behind these kids who have been studying for years and can spell words I've never heard of," she says. "The competition is intense and it can get emotional, so I have to be mindful of that when I do the interviews."
