Who watched the espy’s last night?  I managed to miss the first half of it as I was getting ready for my wife’s birthday today and getting my son wrangled and in bed.  What I did see was an interesting show.  A few things that stuck out in my head that I guess I will share with you:

Did anyone notice that Danica Patrick looked super ticked each time the winner was revealed in a category she was nominated for?  If looks could kill all us fans that voted not in her favor would be in a world of hurt this morning.

The New York Giants sure cleaned things up.  Although, surprisingly they seemed shock when they didn’t get the “best team” award.  Like they thought they had a chance over the Celtics.  I mean has their been a greater turn around in a team in one year?  I think not!!!  On that note, I completely disagree with the Giants getting the “best game” award.  Nominated was game 4 of the NBA finals.  Did people not realize the comeback that the Celtics put on that night?

Justin Timberlake was fairly funny for the most part.  That part where he was talking to himself, licking his lips and trying to act sexy I could have lived without though.  The funniest moment was the gum on the giants Tyree helmet.  Whoever came up with that gets my vote for most entertaining.

The Kevin Everett story was an awesome story.  What a comeback that guy made.  I am in hopes that he will sit down and share that or write a book.  I’m sure there were moments he wanted to give up.   The complete story in book form would be an amazing read.  What an honor for that young man as well.  I mean, the Jimmy V award.  Has there been a more inspirational sports figure?

The story of the night for me had to be Central Washington softball team.  If you remember back in April when they helped Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University around the bases after hitting a home run.  Sara twisted her ankle turning around to tag first base, which she had missed.  None of her own teammates could help without her being called out.  The only option that was available to them was a pinch runner, meaning it would be a single.  Then first baseman Mallory Holtman and shortstop Liz Wallace asked the ump if they could help her around.  There was no rule against this so that is what these two young ladies did.  Of course, this means they would lose the game.  To see such sportsmanship in today’s society does my heart good.  You can read the rest of the story from NBC sports.
