Erin Andrews looks amazing tonight, good God.

Timberlake made me laugh with his comment to Eli ("you finally got to see a girl naked") and how red/embarrassed his wife seemed. Also, a few parts of the song were funny but besides that meh.

The fact that Posh clearly has no desire to be there has also been entertaining.

I keep forgetting that the ESPYs is an american show and thus really only american sports (read: basketball and football) are nominated even if there have been much better sporting events taking place this summer.

Yeah why throw the Wings a bone and nominate them for best team or best game (game 6) thatd be too much i agree. I was seriously just sitting there and saying to myself I wish a Detroit team had won a championship this year....oh wait

I just caught two seconds of this, because the ESPY's are dumb, but the Danica Patrick fake clap/annoyed face when those softball girls won over here was classic. What a C**t.

Amazing how many of you guys continue to watch it even though you think it sucks.
I very rarely catch any of it and am not watching it tonight.

I did see some of the JT/Favre clips on Sportscenter a couple days ago and they looked pretty funny to me. JT looked like he had good stage presence and I thought he actually could be a decent host. That was impression on the brief clips they showed anyway. So I'm kind of surprised he ended up being as terrible as everyone is saying in this thread.

salt - that's what I thought it looked like on the 30 seconds or whatever that I saw in the preview. Was almost enough to make me want to watch it.
JT is a really talented dude. Comes off as pretty funny and even somewhat smart I think.

Ray Allen: "Another win in LA" was great, after that downhill on the C's team interview. Glad they won it though.

I enjoyed JT...guess it was a love it or hate it thing. My mentality is not really take any of it seriously and not to take the host seriously...and it worked great. He was better than Sam Jackson at least.

Timberlake was a fine host. The show needed more Erin Andrews though.

I've hated the ESPYs every other year. I actually enjoyed the show this year. Timberlake was great and very funny. A little corny at times, but that's ok. They did a good job this year.
