Who do you want to see host?
Chris: Kevin Hart
A top flight comedian that is a bit under the radar is just what the Espy’s need and has been their protocol so far. Hart has really been rising in hilarity with his two comedy specials, Seriously Funny and I’m a Grown Little Man. Hart is a sports lover from Philly and would fit like a glove for the Espy’s. I can already imagine a bunch of jokes about a height comparison between Hart and the athletes.
Alex: Vince Vaughn
The ESPYS are all about humor. Seth Meyer’s has done a great job the past two seasons keeping the worst awards shot entertaining, and whoever follows him has big shoes to fill.
Vince Vaughn is a known sports fan, and great comedian who would be great as a host. If ESPN decides to not go with Meyer’s for a third time, I hope it’s Vaughn.
Which award did the voters get wrong?
Chris: Best Play
Alex with your choice for Cam Newton, I am mad you even uttered that unspeakable word in this scared place of blog. I think it would be smart for you to submit your letter of resignation immediately.
Now to why they got the best play wrong. There has been a lot of hype for the U.S women’s world cup, some of which I think is occuring because there isn’t much going on right now. Submitted a few days before the Espy’s Abby Wambach’s play gained a ton of steam. While the play was spectacular and one of the best of the year, Marshawn Lynch’s touchdown run against the Saints in the playoffs was the best run I’ve ever seen. I have been watching football since before I can remember and I have never seen any run as crazy as Lynch’s. He broke at least nine tackles and went into self-acclaimed “Beast Mode”.

Award to add?
Chris: Best postgame interview
Every year in sports there are memorable postgame speeches by coaches and players. From Dennis Green’s “they are who we thought they were” to Mike Gundy’s impassioned “I’m a man, I’m 40!” speech, there really is no shortage to pick from.
Alex: Biggest F*#%-UP of the Year
How funny would it be to hear them rip Kyle Brotzman a little bit more? This award would easily be my favorite and I’d imagine a lot of other fans’ favorite as well.
Favorite host?
Alex: Seth Meyers
I alluded to this a little bit in my first posting. Seth Meyers is without a doubt the best host of all-time. His joke about Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian was priceless. Meyer’s keeps the show funny throughout.
A shout out to honorable mention: Norm McDonald.
Chris: Jamie Foxx

Chris: Jamie Foxx
Without a doubt, Jamie Foxx is the most incredible host in Espy history. Jamie Foxx is the Michael Jordan of Espy hosts. When I was little, I watched the Espy’s with him numerous times. No further proof is needed rather than Foxx sing “I Wanna be your tennis ball” twice to Serena Williams (note two links)
