This show sucks. Espn needs to stick to sports and even then they sometimes fail.
The jokes are not funny at all. Time to change the channel.
They just put the camera on some one and said it was Dara Torres. It wasn't her.

the story about this football coach helping his town get over a tornado then getting killed by a former player is always very sad.

It's hard to hate a show too much that gave you a moment and a speech so beautiful and moving at the Jimmy V speech on his last ESPY's before cancer took him.

I think it's a great show. I don't think it has to be hosted by a comedian, though. Maybe a more neutral tone would be fitting? I don't know. But I like the show.

^^ Awkward and funny at the same time. "Black men can't jump, either." Haha!

I literally just got done watching that clip before opening this thread. Some of the reactions are classic. Touched a lot of nerves, haha.

You just summed up Norm McDonald's career.

Complain to America, not ESPN. All of these awards are decided by a popular online vote.

Amen!


The quote of the night for me came during the opening monologue: "Cleavland, you don't need LeBron Jame to win a championship. Literally every other team that has ever won a championship has done so without LeBron James."

Agreed. A good few pros that make millions would really earn there money if they followed that example...

all award shows tend to be "cringe-worthy"
this one no different.

at least Chris Berman is not hosting...thank the blessed saints for that.

otherwise we'd be listening to more from Drew "Summer" Brees and Jozy "out-the-door" Altidore.
