Red Sox? lol, I would put the Pat's in front on them. Friday Night Lights sucked. Tiger winning best golfer made me laugh. Vijay or Phil.

No individual person on the planet is more far-and-away dominant in their sport than Annika Sorenstam except maybe Roger Federer and Lance Armstrong, both of which are men.

Pat Summitt got absolutely screwed, she deserved the record-breaking award. I also would've given the break-out year award to someone else that I can't remember right now; all I remember is thinking Dwayne Wade would have been a fraction of himself without Shaq.

I do agree with both olympics choices, given Phelps won 8 freakin' medals and the women didn't allow a single run the entire tournament.

I'm none too pleased that Miller beat the Sox winning the series for Best Moment, but I'm willing to let it slide. Flopper or not, he was a great player, and it's a shame he never won one. A similar mentality applies to Mark Fields beating the Yanks/Sox ALCS.

Tiger = 14 ESPYs in 12 years
Annika, Barry, and... MJ (maybe?)... have 7 or 8. I think 1 other person has 7 also.

Tiger has like 5 in best Golfer, 4-5 in Best Athlete, 1 in Best record breaker, 1-2 in best moment or something like that... its crazy.

Shilling, Peyton, and Cat Ostermann were the only multiple winners... Payton the only to win 2 solo awards, as Shilling won a solo and one with the Sox and Cat won a solo and one with her USA softball team.

Mia Hamm is a great soccer player but she is nothing compared to Bekham, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and such.

What about Thierry Henry or Viera?
