ESPN is the ability to predict where a non-pyramidal question is going. This is the key ability needed to succeed in bad quizbowl, more so than knowledge.

The term originates from Mark Roberts's ever-present malapropism on WRAL Brain Game, where he mixes up the name of the sports channel with the acronym for extrasensory perception.
