Here’s why I love Tony Kornheiser. On PTI tonight, Tony and Wilbon are discussing their television options for Thursday. Wilbon says he’s taking the all-American route, opting for playoff basketball and hockey, and accuses Kornheiser of being something less than manly because he’s probably going to watch the finals of the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee.

Kornheiser freely admits he’ll choose the spelling bee over the other options. Why?

“Because I love watching those twitchy little freaks.”
