ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

LOS ANGELES -- Drew Brees was the big winner at the ESPY Awards, collecting four trophies, including male athlete of the year on Wednesday night. The New Orleans Saints quarterback also won best championship performance, NFL player and shared the team award with his Super Bowl champion colleagues.

Brees was chosen male athlete over Kobe Brynat, LeBron James, Jimmie Johnson and Albert Pujols. All but James picked up trophies in other categories. Gold medal-winning skiier Lindsey Vonn won female athlete of the year honors during the show hosted by "Saturday Night Live" comic Seth Meyers that aired live on ESPN from the Nokia Theatre. She beat out Serena Williams and basketball players Maya Moore of Connecticut and Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury.

Vonn was also chosen best female Olympian.
Landon Donovan of the U.S. national soccer team picked up three trophies, for best moment in a World Cup game against Algeria, best MLS player and the performance under pressure award. Phil Mickelson ended Tiger Woods' five-year run as best male golfer, denying Woods a record 23rd career ESPY.

Phil Jackson of the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers was named best coach, while Bryant won best NBA player.
James was booed when a montage of male athlete nominees was shown. He didn't attend the 18th annual awards. Meyers zinged James' decision to leave Cleveland as a free agent and sign with the Miami Heat.

"Did it really need to be an hour?" Meyers said. "Somebody time me. Miami. How long did that take? A second." Actors Steve Carell and Paul Rudd spoofed James' hour-long special on ESPN in a pre-taped bit that culminated in Carell announcing he had chosen to eat dinner at Outback instead of his longtime haunt Chili's.

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com

Oh yeah !!! That is great. Oh yeah and I missed Drew on Leno

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

Epic Win.

It was a good night for us! Loved Shockey's new 'do! Drew looked so handsome! Brittany was glowing! Pregnancy looks good on her! :D I was bummed that Coach Payton lost to Phil Jackson, but his speech when the team accepted the award for Best Team totally made up for it.

"Very quickly we realized we were playing more than just football, we were playing for a region."

My eyes watered a little when I heard him say that. Watching all the recaps of the Super Bowl was so awesome too. I only wish they would have shown TPs INT of Favre and then panned to the audience for his reaction! ;)

Loved Seth Myers' opening monologue. Favorite joke of the night.

"This is the place where sports and entertainment come together...its like a Kardashian sister's Bedroom."

Reggie's reaction was PRICELESS!!! :mrgreen:

Overall, it was a great show!

:bng:

Also, look at Darren Sharper and Reggie Bush's suits. Looks like they had a bit of a mix-up! Hee hee!

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

I thought Seth's monologue was weak until that joke. I laughed pretty hard at that one, and it looked like Reggie wanted to crawl under a rock. hahaha

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

LOL that joke was epic and well played.

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

Pretty incredible.

Good. Realy good.

Big win there.

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

Well, New Orleans has a right to be proud. Now it's time to get down to business. Who Dat II!

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

I agree...Time to get back to work.

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

while watching the show,,,noticed country singer Kenny Chesney in the audience..i knew hen and right there that the Saints was gonna win the best sports team..Kenny was scheduled to be one of the award presenters..sure enoughh!!!!!!!! He is such a huge Shawn Peyton fan ..and there was no doubt he was selected present the Saints with this award..awesome.

Re: ESPYS Feel A Brees - ESPN.com
 

I said the very same thing to my roommate. He was predicting either the Yankees or UConn's women to win it. I said, "No way. Kenny Chesney is presenting the award." He asked what that had to do with the price of tea in China. I told him that SP and Chesney were close friends. They probably knew in advance that they were going to win and had Chesney be the the man to announce them as the winners.
