Women I believe. I think WE are still up for best upset.

Espy's are a joke but they always kill it with these behind the scenes tear jerkers.
 
If you saw the ESPYs and aren't a prisioner of war your captives were trying to punish you with....


How do you have internet access?
 
lol it's the duck**ng ESPYs. Who duck**ng cares?

Even Sportscenter, which used to be ESPN's one redeeming quality, is hot garbage now. What did you really expect from this?

Wait. Are you saying that under normal circumstances it's NOT legal to punch ESPN employees?

Damn. I've got some 'pologizin' to do.

just for a laugh I turned it on, just in time to hear Carmelo deadpan "what makes a great team. is it dominance or just refusing to quit. here are the nominees."

also the uconn men weren't even nominated when literally every champion from every other major sport (including, somewhat generously, the uconn women)? wtf?

the uconn women being nominated over the men is a joke and almost a shot a our mens hoop program[/QUOTE

You are a good poster and even good posters say dumb stuff. I can't watch women hoop's but undefeated is undefeated.

^^^^^^ I can't properly quote your post because you messed up the quote code

Dude the champions of: the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, NCAA Football, and NCAA Women's Basketball were nominated. I know the women did great and they deserve to be included, but what's the GLARING HOLE in that list? It just seems like it had to be an intentional omission. I agree with James.

I like to screw up quotes when I drink multiple cocktails post dinner. Intentional omission or we just were a huge upset. We didn't deserve top team so I don't care if we were nominated. A ring is a ring though so haters gonna hate.
 
The men not being nominated is a joke. I don't want to say it was a shot at our program(cause the women were nominated), but how do you explain that? When every other championship team was at least considered...

I came out a loser in this. Before the show I didn't know who Drake was (I thought they made snack cakes). Now I know who Drake is. I was better off before the show.

Probably right, but it is nice to be able to put a face to the 50 million pop culture references that dude receives every day.

We were a 7 seed, our regular season wasn't anything special. When your looking at best teams you have to look at the whole body of work.
 
I'm much more bothered that we were an "upset" to beat UK. We were a higher seed and just a much better team overall. They had no answers other than a few athletic plays.

You can't argue with the fact that UCONN thrives in that under dog role though. That's Calhoun's stamp. You back us into a corner, and we punch you in the mouth.

Overall it's whatever. What did we expect everyone to respect the program all of a sudden because we have 4 championships now instead of 3? I'm kind of glad nothing has changed. Keeps us hungry for #5.
 
I dunno why you guys are upset...UCONN had quite the presence at the EPSY's. Maya Moore was nominated in 2 separate categories as was Brianna Stewart. Both Geno & KO were nominated as coach of the year (who won that one...anyone know?), Bazz was nominated for best performance in a championship game & the men's team was nominated for biggest upset. I agree that both Stewie & Durant should have had a moment that wasn't on the red carpet. Not sure what ESPN was thinking there, but happy KD won it over "King" James.
 
Saw the last 1/2 hour. I think the audience was asleep. Applause for Stewart Scott and Robin Roberts was awkward. Kevin Durant looked freakishly tall. And when I saw Drake come out at the end I rolled my eyes and wad glad I missed him earlier. Saw him do SNL and didn't dig him at all.

Now I am going to watch that Norm MacDonald clip above. That guy is funny.
 
About 15 or so years ago, I met stuart scott on a plane from Charlotte. He was still fairly new to SC in those days. He was probably not in the mood for anyone that day, but I came away thinking "this dude thinks he is a celebrity", and thought he is too full of himself, and never really liked him as news guy since then. His speech last night, which I saw today on Twitter, made me think that may be first impressions are overrated. Last night's speech was moving, and he sounded humble and sincere. Wish him the best.

No, your first impression was spot on. He was a d ick for years.

I'm willing to bet his battle with cancer changed him and his outlook on life. Happens to a lot of people. Humbling illness to say the least
 
My cable box may actually be becoming intelligent. It seems to understand that if Erin Andrews will be televised for any reason, I will be willing to watch it both live and on dvr. It also seems to recognize that my gf's scheduled recordings of glee are somewhat more ambiguous and negotiable.
