I have trouble considering half the categories and nominiees as sports or athletes in the first place.

Surprised we didn’t see the National Spelling Bee winner up there as well.

But yes, there were other picks that were more worthy.

@Puddin
Their argument would probably be based on Crosby’s assist total in the playoffs.

here is what blows me away (of course I voted already for Ovie) but how is possible that Crosby was nominated this year? he missed like half the season…they couldn’t pick someone else? Lindstrom, Nabokov, hell even Jagr? but no instead they go with someone just for their name not for who played the entire season…ridiculous

I know ESPN considers hockey a fringe sport, but its hard to believe he wasn’t nominated for Male Athlete of the year

I too wish Ovie the best (and of course voted for him) but Justin Timberlake? Ugh. Way to know your audience ESPN.

I’d like the young man to win every award for which he’s nominated, but this presentation telecast lost me at “Hosted by Justin Timberlake.”
