They made it the weirdest they possibly could have. At least Blake won though.

You mean he beat the play by OSWHO that Traber said was the best play in the history of plays.

No, he won for Breakthrough Athlete. Neither him nor that OSU play made it to the finals in voting for Best Play.

I like that they did a skit involving both Blake and AD.

Yep. Ugh, this is what happens when they have basically a monopoly over sports coverage. FSN needs to step up their game.

Had a softball game tonight so might I ask for a quick rundown or more importantly who won the play of the year since OSU didn't and Blake didn't. I thought that Marshawn's run would win but I've felt that people are trying to push soccer so much that Rooney's bicycle kick might pull it off

It went to Abby Wambach for the header into the goal for US Women's Soccer Against Brazil.

Don't remember getting to vote for that one.

Probably deserved it though. That was a sick game. I don't watch much soccer, much less women's soccer, on tv but I've enjoyed the USA's last 2 matches and look forward to Sunday vs. Japan.

Well, they added it at noon today. They made it the late entry. The Cowboys play lost to Wayne Rooney in the second round anyways. Blake's lost to another soccer play.

I usually really like the ESPYs, but this year was really bad.

They should have made Justin Timberlake the permanent host...oh and the 1-800 LOCKOUT skit was awesome when AD was talking to Blake. The Sooners are taking over!!

How did I miss that skit? I switched for twenty seconds. And in that twenty seconds, that was on there? Dang.

Well if you got 9 million and 99 cents...Blake can help you reach stuff on the top shelves and AD can help you with that pesky bee problem...

I agree the one legged wrestler was worth seeing. I find all awards shows hard to watch. Myers snarky one liners are better on SNL news than they are in a room full of athletes. My son was enjoying it or I would have skipped it again this year.

The Blake, Kevin Love, Ron Artest, AD skit was cute, but too long. I also like the Dirk Awkward Shooting Academy skit for the first couple of minutes, but it seemed to never end.

Nothing notable usually happens, although I do remember Jim Valvano's speech. Maybe because they replay it all the time, but I was watching live that night.

Only thing good about that show ever was the Valvano speech. If you don't get a little teary eyed during that speech you have no soul.
