OSU fans hi-jack another post...shocking :blink: back to the topic...ESPYs tell us who's best at being the bestJune 25, 2007Get excited. The 2007 ESPY nominations were released on Monday. Indianapolis Colts fans, your team was nominated six times, more than any other sports entity! Could it be because the Colts won a Super Bowl?Wow, how totally amazing: a chance to win something -- for winning something. Shockingly, the Colts are in the Best Team category along with the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, NCAA basketball champion Florida Gators, BCS football champion Florida Gators and World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. I tell you, the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks were robbed.And thank you, ESPYs, for telling us that Peyton Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson, Tiger Woods, LeBron James and Roger Federer are five great male athletes. I'm already tossing and turning to find out who's the best. Thankfully, ESPN has another cure for that with it's "Who's Now" campaign and its 32-athlete bracket-style tournament set for July. And if you want to know who's now right now, Fox Sports' Best Damn Sports Show Period already completed its countdown of the top 50 current "phenomenal athletes". Their top five included Tomlinson, Woods, James and Federer. The fifth? Simply swap Manning out for Kobe Bryant.Wait, so breaking records, starring in the NBA at such a young age and winning a whole bunch of things makes you a great athlete? Who knew? You know, I was skeptical about Marty Scorsese's directing, but now that he finally got that Oscar, I'm a believer. Sure, Federer can win his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title in two weeks, but it all means nothing if he doesn't get that pesky ESPY.It would be more interesting for the ESPYs to have MTV Movie Award-like categories. Like Best Espy, to either former Rangers outfielder Cecil or undrafted Redskins rookie receiver Mike. The award for Best Coach, Best Hair and Best Waffler all go to ... Billy Donovan. In Best Arrest, it's Pacman Jones over that naked Lions assistant coach (barely). Coincidentally, that same naked Lions assistant coach also loses to Amanda Beard in another category. And a category just for Kobe: Best Beef.My award for Best Reason to Watch the ESPYs: Just to see how they get all those great athletes in one big room (either that, or I hear Maria Sharapova looks great in a dress). I guess as the home of the Academy Awards and American Idol, the Kodak Theatre is used to accommodating several big egos at once.source
