And the ESPY goes too.....

Hello sports fanatics,

This is another edition of Sports Talk and we are discussing the Winners of the ESPYs. I agree with some and I disagree with others and now I am here to break it down.


Best Male Athlete went to LeBron James. I couldn't agree with this award more. Yes I am a Lebron fan, but I am also an Aaron Rodgers fan and Justin Verlander Fan. LeBron was the one who led the Heat to the finals, He led the team to the Championship with Bosh out for some of the playoffs and Wade battling a knee injury it was Lebron's time to shine and he did just that. The Fans got it right.

Best Female Athlete went to Brittney Griner and I can honestly say although I don't watch college basketball let alone college womens basketball, I have heard amazing things about her. She deserves this award because 1) The winter olymics have passed and Vonn will have her time when they come around again if she participates and 2) Wambach will have her time after the olympics and next world cup. Sharapova was a close second, but she just came back from injury and needs to prove more to the fans. Again the fans got it right.

Best Championship Performance could have gone to any of the nominees, but it went to Lebron James. Again a great choice. He led the team to that Finals victory. He deserves this for all the reasons he deserved male athlete. Next year it may be a different story though. Fans are on a roll.

Best Breakthrough Athlete could have gone to 4 of these 5. The only one I wouldn't have given it to was Alex Morgan, and trust me I am a huge fan of hers, but it isn't a national soccer time, no world cups, no olympics yet, no major tournament. Honestly the fans couldn't have gone wrong with this, even if I thought that RG3 or Gronk should have one for personal reasons, and they chose Jeremy Lin. Fans are right again.

Best Record-Breaking Performance should have gone to Mariano Rivera, but it went to Drew Brees. The reason I believe that Rivera should have won the award is because he is by far the best closer in baseball and I am sure some will agree and some will disagree, but it is the truth. When you think closers in baseball you think him. When you think best QB in the NFL you will hear many names. In my opinion the fans got it wrong.

Best Upset went to the LA Kings as it should have. Trust me I am a Kings fan and I will always route for them, but in my blog I always ask other people there opinions and listen, thats why I choose comments to put into my blog. However like many have said #15 seeds upset #2 seeds more often than an 8th seed wins the Stanley cup, why do I say that? Because the LA Kings were the 1st team to do so. This award the fans got right.

Best Game went to the NFL Playoff game and honestly it could have gone to any of the games that were nominated. Probably one of the only awards I have no opinion on. Good job fans.

Best Moment went to Tebow and the Broncos which was very wrong in my opinon. Yes, no one thought they would win, let alone force overtime. However, the 2 of the 3 moments left were probably very shocking. I am not a golf person by any means, but to see Bubba Watson win and start crying was very touching, to watch Derek Jeter get 5 hits in one game and one of those happened to be his 3,000th was astonishing. Those should have won over an NFL Sudden Death win. Fans, I have to disagree with you.

Best Comeback went to Matthew Stafford and again I disagree. Johan Santana was my pick to win it all. Not only is a pitcher coming back from a shoulder injury and being back up to where he was before astonishing, he also threw the first no-hitter for the mets. That explains it all. Fans, again I disagree.

Best Team went to the Heat, I disagree completely. Lebron was the whole team for the Heat and a team is more than one guy. My two choices were the Cardinals and the Kings. Yes, I was pulling for the LA Kings because they are my hometown team and they did the unthinkable by winning the stanley cup as an 8th seed, not even making the playoffs until the last day, and having one of the worst offensive teams in the league. Yes you can say Jonathon Quick won the stanley cup for them, but you also need to score in the first place. Moving on to the Cardinals, it was a team effort to win that World Series Trophy and they all had to contribute to pitching, hitting, and defense. Fans got this all wrong.

I know I left a lot of catagories out, but these were the biggest and we would have been here all day and night going over the teams.
Be sure to follow along on the blog and twitter. Make sure to comment and look for our questions of the day because your comments could be in the next post.

Todays Question: MLB related: Do you think the LA Angels will trade CF Peter Bourjos to find a Starting Pitcher or offensive guy? We will be discussing this later in the week and I want to hear what you have to say. Tweet or Comment below to answer!
