Friday FAIL: The ESPY’s Edition

Well, it’s that time of the year when ESPN likes to pat themselves on the back and hand out meaningless awards!  If you missed out on all the back-patting fun, here’s what you missed:

  • Rob Riggle should never be allowed to host anything ever again.  In fact, it’s like ESPN was mocking us by picking the douchiest host they could think of.  Mission accomplished.
  • Apparently, ESPN thinks that Albert Pujols won the World Series for the Cardinals.  I guess they forgot about that guy named David Freese…or Allen Craig…or Lance Berkman…or (Do I really need to go on?)
  • We had 2 Tebow appearances in under 30 minutes.  And in my scientific research, the final Tebow count (mentions and screed appearances) fell just under eleventy-billion.  I may have rounded up.
  • The number of “Brittney Griner is a dude” jokes on Twitter was appalling.  Absolutely appalling.  
  • So did Hayden Panettiere seemed doped up to anyone else?  
  • To honor Title IX and women athletes, they bring out Hayden Panattiere and Connie Britton.  There wasn’t a single female athlete out there who may have been impacted by Title IX out there available?  Wasted opportunity, no?
  • Rob Riggles starts out by complimenting Drew Brees and then immediately makes fun of him and Bounty-gate.  Drew Brees does not find you funny.  Yo, Rob, maybe you shouldn’t make fun of someone that may or may not have any connections to people involved in football bounties.  I don’t see that ending well for you…
  • I don’t know who the idiot is who decided that fans should vote for things via twitter hashtags, but screw you.  YOU’RE RUINING EVERYTHING.  
  • I don’t care how good they are at sports, some athletes just shouldn’t speak publicly.  Seriously, it’s embarrassing.
  • The ESPY’s are really just the football awards, no?  
  • Zoey Deschanel acting like a girl who has no clue about anything related to sports. HILARIOUS.  A pretty original bit.  Also, this wasn’t on FOX. WHY WAS SHE THERE?!  
  • Dear Jockey, Please stop suggesting that Tim Tebow wear shirts.  That’s the best part of him. 
  • So, Drew Brees’s suit…  Shiny…  (For some better fashion analysis, I suggest you check out OCCN.com.)

 

  • Lindsey Vonn Tebowing.  Did they not see South Park?  Faith Hilling is where it’s at.  Amateurs.

  • Besides, I feel like I’ve seen this before.  Oh wait….

  • However, I must point out the good from last night:  Did we see a Kardashian (besides Bruce Jenner)?  If we did, I missed it.  And that, my friends is GLORIOUS.  Kanye, you can keep her…
