The ESPYs

[21]

I know no one will start this thread because no one wants to admit to watching this abominable waste of broadcasting.

All I know is, I am officially sick of Brian Wilson, and Serena Williams has a huge butt falling out of her top.

 

[holy bull]

I'll take your word for it. Butch and Sundance on Encore.

Kill Bill Nos. 1 and 2

You know why Butch and Sundance ran out of the house at the end? The ESPYs were on local TV and they figured the firing squad was a better way to go.

"Morons. I got morons on my team." The great Strother Martin.

BTW, 21, if Serena had a butt coming out of the TOP of her dress, what class dirigible did she have expanding out of the other end?

I assumed that was Venus hiding in there, unable to get a ticket to the event.

Awesome.

 

[21]

That's what Venus said.

 

[holy bull]

But it sounded more like "Awmmffshummm"

 

[21]

I heard that too, I thought she was asking for Justin Bieber's autograph.

I'm of the mind that Serena looks just fahhhne. Go ahead and hate the thickness, but man, she brought it tonight, IMHO.

I think Brian Wilson would take umbrage with that statement. Remember when the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson was the weird one?

Brian Wilson reminds me a whole lot of a friend of mine. Same weird nonsense comes out of their mouths. But sometimes when he pushes it too far, you just have to tell him to shut the **** up. But they generally mean well and add something to life, if you don't over analyze it.

Bill Lee thinks Brian Wilson is a strange ****.

 

[Boom_70]

Brian Wilson has become the face of baseball - ugh.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I would rather watch Two Girls, One Cup with my mother-in-law than watch the ESPYs.

The ESPYs are basically an awards show as written by the SNL staff, and like any SNL episode it had hits and misses. I liked the "Lockout Professionals" faux ad w/ Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Adrian Peterson and an extra-special wacky guest appearance by the artist Formerly Known as Ron Artest. Seth's crack that "if Brian Wilson had played Wilson in Cast Away, it would have been a horror movie" was the best dig at Wilson of the night. Seth's sexting joke was a good idea, but too much setup for not enough payoff. And the Vancouver riot couple was just bad, mostly because both Paul Scheer and whoever the chick was playing the girl both sounded Scottish, not Canadian. Would have been funnier if they had, as rumored, been able to get Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks.

Lastly, I don't know who that Raphael Saadiq fellow is that was performing coming out of the breaks, but I predict he will be an SNL musical guest in the not-too-distant future.

 

[Second Thoughts]

The ESPYs are ESPN's over-glorification of its own egomanic love for itself.

 

[shockey]

have never watched. don't expect i ever will. 8)

and i'll watch about ANYTHING involving the big names in sports. when they're, you know, PLAYING the games i give a darn about'. or another they involve the teams adding important players (nfl draft). first-run eps of 'royal pains' and 'rescue me' were the only tv fare i required on this wednesday summer night.

I ripped Wilson's calculated weirdness in the baseball thread, and got shouted down for it. Glad to see folks here are a bit more simpatico ... or maybe his "body suit tuxedo" finally broke the camel's back.
