ESPY awards 2008 - Best Male Athlete

Settled as Tiger Woods

Pop star and actor Justin Timberlake was tapped to host the 2008 ESPY Awards this summer.

The ESPYs are ESPN’s premier awards show, honoring the best moments, teams and players from the year in sports.

“I’m very excited to be hosting the 16th edition of the ESPYs. I can’t wait for the day of the show as I’m truly a sports junkie,” Timberlake said in a statement. “Since the last ESPYs, there have been amazing moments in sports, and I’m looking forward to recapping all of them with ESPN’s diehard fans.”

This year’s ESPY Awards will be held at the Nokia Theater LA Live in Los Angeles and will air live on ESPN July 20.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source. This question suspends on July 12, 2008 at 11:59pm because that is when online voting concludes.

don't sleep on Tom Brady's record breaking season... A lot more people watch football that golf and Tom Brady's accomplishments weren't just one weekend of playing with an injury. He was actually playing through a sort of serious injury for a lot of last season.

Are these the only four possibles? What if someone else wins?

Those are the only choices. There is no write in candidates or other possibilities.

WOW...not much of a choice...a defeated Super Bowl QB, an injured golfer who can't play, a defeated star of an NBA team with a questionable background (wife got a BIG diamond), and a star player on a middling baseball team...

Who came up with these guys?

A quarterback who lead his team to an Undefeated season. A golfer who won the US OPEN and 4 PGA tournaments since tearing his ACL. A NBA player who won MVP of the season, and made the NBA Finals without major star power supporting him. A MLB player who is breaking records and on pace to own most major MLB records.
I think they did a pretty good job with Best Male Athlete candidates.

@bayoubear:
Agreed. However, once a brand name is established, it's generally best to keep cramming it down the throats of the masses. They don't have to be the best athlete (or even an athlete, for that matter), they just have to be marketable.

Not that I fault ESPN for their choices, though. It's a big name awards show these days, and so they have to keep pushing the biggest names and supporting them. C'est la vie.

I really cant believe 50 TDs and 18 wins doesn't get a guy a simple award. He was injured too.....
