ESPY Awards
Has anyone ever seen anything more brutal than tonight's ESPY Awards (aka the Will Ferrell promo spot). Talk about wasting a chunck of one's life.....

Re: ESPY Awards
I didn't mind it. Lance was good, Will was funny. Stiller was funny too.

Re: ESPY Awards
Will Ferrell funny? The man is an absolute stiff and about as unfunny as they come. But, maybe if you liked him, that explains why you’d like the rest of that schlock. I found it all in embarrassingly poor taste and about as bring as humanly possible. Nothing much funny, but, then, since when is a sports award show supposed to be a comedy review? Mix terribly written presenter lines with stuff like an offensively pretentious and faked emotional read-it-off-the-cue cards introduction by Ashlee Judd of a 15 minute documentary about women’s soccer in Afghanistan, to Shaun White repeating and re-repeating tired schtick about tripping over his tongue while presenting with Carmen Electra, to a shameless 15 minute commercial for Ferrell’s movie right in the middle of the show, and you have a scintillating display (make that s steaming pile-o-dung). ESPN programming at its finest. Somebody should have won the award as the producer who most deserves to be shot.

Re: ESPY Awards
So you didn't like it?
Why did you even watch then?

Re: ESPY Awards
I think Will Ferrel is freakin hilarious. But maybe that's just me...
What I don't understand is why you started a thread for something that you hated.

I only watched the beginning and thought Lance was excellent.

Re: ESPY Awards
By the way, the fact that Chris Paul won the breakout performance award is a disgrace. Alexander Ovechkin should have won that thing easily.

I think Lance Armstrong did a great job as host.

Re: ESPY Awards
the 2 afgan girls and the autistic boy touched me a lot. Great stories. Some of the acts were pretty lame.

Re: ESPY Awards
I didn't watch much, but I caught the part where the autistic kid won the award. That was awesome. I have a nephew who will be 3 in September who is autistic (he was born at 24 weeks), so I was pulling for that kid and it was great to see. He had a great speech, too. Loved the "thank you GOD" at the end.
It was weird how the dust storm rolled through the house here during his acceptance speech, though.
