ESPY Awards

Last night was the "Espys" on ESPN.  If you are like me, this is the biggest awards show of the year.  It mixes the best male and female athletes and surrounds them by other beautiful famous people. Seth Myers was the host.  I thought he was hilarious.  The best line of the night may have been "LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade refer to themselves as the big 3, in honor of how many quarters they play" or "Ray Lewis warned that if there was no season the crime rate would go up, though he didn't say specifically what he had in mind" haha

Anyway, they talked a lot about the lock out and ripped on the Dodgers, and the Miami Head mostly.  Dallas Mavs stole the show for the most part.  The Eagles won the award for best game for their comeback VS the Giants when they scored 28 points in the last 7 minutes of the game. Aaron Rodgers won best NFL player, Dirk won best NBA player and best male athlete.  Roy Halladay won best MLB player.  Jimmy Johnson won best driver, Tim Thomas won best championship performance. 

Justin Bieber won biggest douchebag.  Arian Foster won best performance.   Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams won best male and best female tennis player. Maya Moore & Jimmer Fredette won best college athletes while VCU basketball won biggest upset for the win of Kansas.  The Fighter won best sports movie and best play went to the USA womens soccer team.  Go USA!

Of course I missed some things but those are the highlights in my mind.  I don't really think anyone cares about the best chess player.

In conclusion, it was pretty funny, and I think most of who won deserved it.  Justin Bieber needs to stop being on sports shows, Shaun White is one ugly SOB and Serena Williams has WAY more junk in the trunk, and under the hood for that matter then I thought she did.
