But the categories are kinda stupid. It's one thing to create something like a movie and having an awards show to pick the best one, and another to have something like best basketball team and then have the Heat and Lebron win....again.....hey, we already knew that. I remember SNL making fun of the ESPY's by having awards for "Stadium With the Largest Seating Capacity" and picking, of course, the stadium with the largest seating capacity.
Never bothered to actually watch a few moments until today....just out of curiosity. Glad I've been missing thes.
There is no points. Sports have tournaments and scoreboards to choose winners. It's why we love sports. The ESPY's is an attempt to judge sports with the same lowly objectiveness of art, which is the most bullshit thing I can think of. We don't need an award show for sports. It's a fuckin' competition already. Come to think of it, we don't need the fucking Oscar's, Grammy's, etc... because they all have their box office receipts, which is their scoreboard. Fuck award shows - gay ass motherfucking attention whores...
yeah who needs any awards show but this one is especially masturbatory. and lets face it. the giants, heat and ray lewis being honored. woohoo couldn't give me tickets to that.
I was there...would def go back bc there is so much talent there and they are all ready to fuck, easy.... Show is whatever, but man that talent.
I had to come home because I have a long and early day tomorrow or else it was nbd to get it. Anyone who didn't stayed, is at the after parties and will get some.
The only sports awards show I would watch would be one completely dedicated to the Dodgers: Best escape from Cuba: Yasiel Puig Best bat flip: Yasiel Puig Person most likely to be on DL: "We are accepting this honor on behalf of half the Dodgers 25 man roster because they are currently on the DL" Most useless: Stan Conte Best impersonation of a woman: Andre Ethier Best impersonation of a man: Sue Falsone You get the idea.
The show has potential, but they need to change the awards. As you said, best NBA team, of course the one that won the title will get it. All awards must be cross sports, as the Oscars are cross category.
