The annual ESPYs awards are due up this month and as usual the hype of this show is nonstop airing on ESPN. Yeah, Lebron James will be there so will Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, and a cast of other big name stars. I have to wonder how talk show hosts like Jimmy Kimmel however need to be presence. Sure he's a sports fan (nothing wrong with that), but is it necessary to have him start the show again? I'd personally rather see Michael Jordan or a baseball legend host.
For the most part this show just rags on famous sports players by celebrities who are jealous of them or try to make a name for themselves on national television. Such entertainment can't be complete without doing a few dress-up skits where singled-out athletes are poked fun of without going so far as getting slapped with a lawsuit. I can only imagine Barry Bonds showing up to this live event, decked out in a lavish three-piece suit and as he walks to the stage a bag of white substance falls out of his suit's pocket then a few moments later a syringe.
What a way to kill a show in an instance. Trust me after that there will be a loss for words and no one will be lining to shake the San Francisco's slugger hand. Yet fun will be had by all during the ESPYs and the fans will vote for their favorites. One thing will help the show: if any of the Dominican baseball players win an award they need to keep short and sweet. Otherwise the audience won't know what they hell they're talking about. Best luck to the top athletes in all sports!
