The ESPY's Pretty Much Suck

I watched Rachel Maddow.

Mark Buherehureheurele should have won Best Play. And they do suck.

 

I always find it difficult to end his name while typing. Its like playing a song on a piano and not knowing how to reach the end note. You just keep playing the refrain over and over and over.

Switched over to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"....love the crazy movie....was about...uhhhh...YOUNG when it came out. Go Steven Spielberg!

 

Ok.....bedtime for me.......

 

Tell the kiddies about "snow" in the picture, and the National Anthem being played at 5:55am as the stations came back on the air after going dark all night.

 

And how about that Betamax machine! Wow!!!

It's funny, I've never heard anyone do anything but complain about an award show regardless of what it's for whether it be the MTV Video Music Awards, the Oscars, the Grammys, the Emmys, the ESPYs, etc.

 

Personally, award shows are something I have on while I'm doing something else because in your typical 3 hour award show, I'm interested in about 30 mins of what happens and I imagine most people are the same way. I don't think the vast majority of people can sit there, watch any award show in its entirety and come away entertained.

The ESPY is a form of advertising for ESPN. They are loud and brash, and have pushed their way to the top of cable sports networks. They did it by charging high cable fees which are hidden in those $100 cable bills we all get. That gives them an advantage over the traditional networks (NBC, CBS, etc.) in bidding for large sports packages. Actually, they now even own ABC.
