Why even televise the damn thing when you give away the winners every year... ? Giants, Woods, Hamilton, Everett take home ESPYs ESPN.com news services Updated: July 17, 2008, 10:51 AM ET The New York Giants took home the Vince Lombardi trophy for winning the Super Bowl and they can add some ESPYs to their trophy case as well. At the 16th annual celebration of the year's best sports stories, the Giants won in three categories: Best Game, Best Upset and Best Play. The latter came for David Tyree's acrobatic catch of an Eli Manning pass that kept the game-winning drive alive in the Super Bowl. The ESPYs, which were hosted by Justin Timberlake at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, will be televised on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN. Tiger Woods surpassed Lance Armstrong with his record fifth Best Male Athlete ESPY. He also won his fourth straight Best Golfer award and took home the Best Championship Performance award for winning the U.S. Open on an injured left leg. His 21 ESPYs are the most anyone has won. Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett captured the Jimmy V ESPY for Perseverance, named after former North Carolina State basketball coach Jim Valvano. Everett suffered what was believed to be a paralyzing spinal cord injury but after rehabilitation is walking again and was on hand to accept his award. Embattled quarterback Brett Favre was honored with an ESPY for Best Record Breaking Performance. He snapped Dan Marino's mark for most career touchdown passes. When receiving his award, Favre was shown a video of his accomplishments. "Watchin' that makes me want to play again," Favre said with a smile. Earlier, Timberlake zeroed in on Favre sitting in the audience with his wife, Deanna. "What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you anywhere," Timberlake said. "Just chillin'? Yeah, me too." Later, Timberlake went into the seats to hug Favre's would-be successor Aaron Rodgers, the Packers' 2005 first-round draft choice. Favre sheepishly looked down with a slight smile on his face as the crowd laughed. Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, who put on a legendary display in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium on Monday, won the ESPY for Best Comeback. After battling drug addiction, Hamilton became an All-Star this year and leads the league in RBIs with 95. Roger Federer won his fourth straight Best Male Tennis Player ESPY. Other repeat winners were: Sidney Crosby (Best NHL Player), Norm Duke (Best Bowler), Floyd Mayweather (Best Fighter) and Maria Sharapova (Best Female Tennis Player). The NBA champion Boston Celtics won their first ESPY in the Best Team category. The Arthur Ashe Courage award was presented to 1968 Olympic medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos who dropped their heads and raised their fists on the victory stand in Mexico City to raise awareness for the American struggle for racial equality. To watch: ESPYs on TV Date: Sunday, July 20 Time: 9 p.m. ET Network: ESPN |

I thought for sure the Cowboys and their 13 Pro Bowlers would have cleaned up! Reckon John Clayton doesn't have much pull over there. :rolleyes: |

Michael & I were "arguing" about this last night. I SWORE the ESPYs already took place, he pointed out the commercial that they're on Sunday. I said, "But I already know who won some of the awards!" & he went back to the commercial. They had Favre on every 5 seconds last night & kept showing him chatting up Eli & Michael wanted to know where it was. I said it was at the ESPYs. He knows they're pre-recorded. He just had a lot of fun f-ing with me last night. Men. |

Did anyone watch? It was worth it for Timberlake's opening monologue alone. He did a damn good job. Best ESPYs, definitely most entertaining, that I've seen in years. It's supposed to air tonight again at 8pm. Timberlake busting on Manning damn near made me roll of the couch laughing. I'll look for the clip. |

What I referenced starts around 4:30, but, I recommend the whole monologue.

I watched it. It was pretty good. The kid from Memphis was about to punch him in the mouth if he made one more comment about missing the foul shots. He overdid that for sure. |

See, I thought it never got stale for some reason. I don't think the kid got half the jokes he was cracking. His father seemed to enjoy it.

Timberlake's opening monologue was great! Had me laughing! It was great when he was busting on Eli, when he talked about Tiki, I was hysterical when he was "chatting" with Favre asking what was up, he hasn't seen him lately. Friggin hysterical! What's the deal with Posh? She can't crack a smile? Too much botox? I wanted to smack her when JT was talking about Becks. Becks was laughing. But Posh didn't even crack a half grin..... |
