2015 Espy Awards

What?

Ms. Jenner is going to be on. WHAT'S SHE GONNA WEAR!?!?

[quote]Is anybody watching?

Not with The Kardashians being on, no thank you

I'm not watching it, so would someone tell us when Jenner will be on?

Love Ronda Rousey's comment about Floyd Mayweather

Not sure what time Caitlyn will be on, so far this is tedious to watch, the Espy's have definitely changed. Even last night's coverage of the All-Star game was better than this.

From today's LA Times:

[quote]Is Caitlyn Jenner the wrong honoree for ESPYs' courage award?

Excerpt:

[quote]Casting a further shadow on the pick is industry speculation about an alleged deal between the network and Jenner for the Ashe award as a payoff for the exclusive sit-down interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer that aired in April and drew huge ratings.

They just broke for a commercial and before they did, they teased to her award so it may be within the next half hour.

R6, let's be honest, it's all about ratings and they knew that people who wouldn't normally tune in will be tuning in for this one. The award wasn't about who deserved it, it was about getting attention.

Affleck doesn't look great, but he looks better than he has been lately.

Ever since the Body Issue poctures came out, Seguin is really starting to grow on me.

Caitlyn is up next

Really milking this to the end.

Who's Aaron's handsome date?

Can't tell. Whenever they cut to him, there isn't a clear shot of who is sitting next to him.

Jenner really was gorgeous.

They're showing Bruce Jenner clips.

I missed the part when a drunk Favre gave Rodgers his award.

[quote]Brett Favre gave Aaron Rodgers the ESPY for ‘best NFL player’ and things got awkward.

How ironic TORMENTOR Jon Hamm is the narrator of his story.

Anyway, Derek Jeter still looks very hot.

Sounds like Jon Hamm is narrating this

Sorry, R17. Just realized you beat me to it.

I wonder what the big dumb jocks in the audience are thinking as they watch this. You know they never change. They'll crack jokes together afterward.

This is seriously lame!!

You know people are thinking this is fucked up. Chick on stage wearing a suit and a guy in a dress.

Standing ovation???!!!?!!

Brett Favre's face was priceless.

Dude in a dress.

How many tweets will be "crying for America" because of this moment?

LOL, R24. You saw that, too?

Their definition of womanhood is bananas - it's what feminists have been fighting for decades.

The first thing out of her mouth was abour hair, makeup and shoes.

OMFG r10 that is a disaster. It looks like the jacket is off the rack, and the pants are way too fitted, he has bow legs in that pic. And the one button? No.

I wonder if he took Freddy, his "room-mate"?

She didn't say thank you for the award, he said "thank you so much for this [italic]platform[/italic]"

Wow, what a politician she would make- that was a seriously great speech.

I wonder how many overtime hours were put in by handlers, publicists and ESPN PR to make sure all the lunkhead athletes were able to comment on her without a shitstorm?

I was watching and that vet who lost her arm made me cry. I recorded the rest, will watch it later.

I can't believe that A-rod bit. Too long and really not right, esp that small penis comment.

I only watched Jenner. Could not care less about a bunch of meatheads lauding each other.

My hat is off to Caitlyn. That was a thoughtful and inspiring speech. I admit to tearing up.

And I'm sure it went over the heads of most of those drooling idiots.

Vince Vaughn looks semi human.

Why would Aspys get awards?

Yes, R31, the platform to speak for thousands of others. And immediately after she said, "Thank you for this honor." But you were too busy clutching your pearls and typing with one hand to hear it.

What a freakazoid. All trans people should be ashamed to be associated with that mess. Pure publicity stunt--what else would you expect from a Kartrashian?

Is anyone else over children with cancer and their famewhore parents? Enough!

Shut up, R41. You sound bitter. Sorry you never had any attention.

It's odd to hear Bruce Jenner's voice still...basically entirely unchanged like a grumpy 65 year old man, in a versace silhouette.

I haven't read through all the comments so I don't know if anyone has already mentioned this, but the word is out that this "award" is a complete fraud. The ESPY committee didn't "give" her anything. Jenner and her people demanded this award in order for the Diane Sawyer interview.

Forget Caitlyn. Are there any pictures of Aaron with the new boyfriend?

Are you a sports fan, R40? I have nothing against Jenner, the Arthur Ashe Award is not about having a platform for your cause. Lauren Hill & Devon Still embody the spirit of the award. Even Noah Galloway would have been more appropriate.

She looked flawless and age appropriate. The dress was a fabulous fit. She looked like a goddess. She just needs to soften her voice but the content of her speech was great. I like how she embraces her past, present and future.

I've been looking but haven't been able to find any, R46, I want to know who he is too.

Is Aaron still "dating" Olivia Munn? I noticed that Olivia Munn was sitting next to Common.

Good eye, R50, I didn't even notice her there. They were at Comic Con together over the weekend, so I guess, yes.

Pic 2

I think this is the back of him too. Looks like same suit.

Thanks R52/53/54, I have no idea who that is, but I love how Jeter, Rodgers & the mystery man all look like they're wearing the same thing.

Jeter is sitting next to his girlfriend, Hannah. So why couldn't Aaron choose who he sat with?

[quote]My hat is off to Caitlyn. That was a thoughtful and inspiring speech. I admit to tearing up.

Nobody wears a hat today.

How many times did they show a shot of the Kardashians in the audience, because what else in the world matters? Caitlin must have gone to Liza's dentist. I haven't hear that many ssss's since Liza tried to sing "Le Hot Jasssshhhhhhh" in "Victor/Victoria"

But she looked beautiful. Streisand and the rest could use her stylist.

She did look good, unlike some others.

Danica Patrick in a mullet skirt and what seems to be a bandolier under her dress. Maybe she's doing side work with Kurt Busch's ex?

ESPN "writer" Sarah Spain ... if you're going to buy enormous teats, at least learn how to upholster them tastefully.

I don't know who Cari Champion is but she looked good.

I thought Ronda Rousey on Mayweather was very funny (and ballsy on a night that was probably full of meaningless cliches) but what is up with that dress?

So someone who beats people up for a living gets Best Athlete. OK then.

r45 that award has always been a fraud because the entire ESPY concept is fraudulent. It's just a PR move to heighten visibility and line vanity cases of athletes and their agents.

They gave it to the 9/11 widows, FFS. Seriously. The reasoning at the time was their husbands were athletic. IIRC, old DL fave Lisa Beemer made an appearance to accept it.

More self-congratulatory nonsense.

I guess Caitlyn won Drag Race.

Russell Wilson is BOSS

I wonder if they lost money again this year?

I watched it and it seemed incredibly pointless. There was an award for "Best Moment".

Oh my.

[quote]Caitlin must have gone to Liza's dentist. I haven't hear that many ssss's since Liza tried to sing "Le Hot Jasssshhhhhhh" in "Victor/Victoria"

That's a vocal affectation he started once he became a media person. I think it's his version of a radio DJ voice. Sadly, he's always sounded ridiculous

R16 Lol, what a trainwreck.
