And the ESPY goes to....

The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to... ESPN, for the 10th year running. They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating). No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote. Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew? -RM
