Drake? Lol. This is awful, and it's 15 mins in. Drake is god awful. Tells a white people joke, then goes on a bit about racism. I've never in my life liked one thing about Drake.

Man he was really not funny. I just tuned in to hear the first 15 min cause it's usually pretty funny. He's painfully not funny.

Jessica Alba wasn't funny either but God Damn!

I liked him when he was in a wheelchair.

I know it's easy to hate on the ESPYs but everyone needs to watch Stuart Scott's speech. It was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes. Knowing a few cancer survivors I can't help but remember this line the most

You beat cancer by how you live,
Why you live,
and in the manner which you live,
So Live
Fight like Hell

I've never really understood why we have a fascination with people that are currently undergoing cancer treatment. Do I sympathize with them? Of course. Do I think they are some kind of hero because they contracted a common disease that has reasonable chance of survival given modern medicine? No.

I only watched the first hour. I agree with the Drake being horrible comments.

However, the Blake VS Drake skit was pretty hilarious.

I watched most of it. Really wanted to watch Stu Scott's speech. I get nostalgic about Stu. Him, Eisen and Patrick were the stars of Sportscenter right as I was developing my love of sports in the mid 90's and I can't help but think those guys played a role. I watched so much Sportscenter.

That must be jam cuz jelly doesn't shake like that.

Also, the new Pat Tillman award is cool. The guy who won was a Marine (I think...) who joined after 9-11. He lost both of his legs stepping on an explosive. He is now the leader of the US Paraolympic sled hockey team. He scored the winning goal in the gold medal game as the US took home gold. Look down at your legs and basically at the top of your thighs where your legs should be starting, that is where his skates are. Very cool story.

Then there are those like Valvano, whose efforts have made it possible for some people to have a reasonable chance of survival that wouldn't have had that chance a decade ago.

Drake was really bad folks and it's a shame because this is usually one of the more enjoyable award shows there is

Not sure why this question is relevant. I don't know the answer nor do I care. Should I use the word 'diagnosed'? Does that change the general intent of my statement?

What community college did you attend?
