ESPY Awards lastnight...
forget movie premieres and music award shows, espy's is where its at. perhaps it's because i grew up playing sports and worshipped certain athletes in my youthful days but in my eyes, sports award shows triumph the usual hollywood movie/music red carpets and afterparties (same old people you see over and over at the same spots).
highlights of the evening included justin timberlake's better-than-expected jokes (his freethrow shooting segment re: memphis + duet with greg oden were hilarious), will ferrell (his piece with the step brother dude and acceptance of tiger wood's male athlete of the year award were classic), lupe fiasco performing snippets of the cool in between segments and the standing ovation tommy smith and john carlos got for their arther ashe award (1968 mexico olympics).
the privileged (with the wristband or passes) that went over to the afterparty got to enjoy the open bar and buffet (typical afterparty steez) while your fav. skaters rode the rails. if you're the groupie type (guy or girl), you probably would've taken photos or stared at the likes of kevin garnett, ray allen, eli manning, michael strahan, mr belding (yes look him up), hugh hefners girlfriends (no holly though), derek fisher, steve nash, terrell owens, matt leinart, bill walton, dwight howard, bruce jenner and arguably the biggest star on the planet right now (especially for you non-north americans); christiano ronaldo
