NY Giants Nominated for 6 ESPYs
Giants.com just revealed that the New York Giants were nominated for six ESPYs in this year’s sixteenth annual ESPN awards show. The Giants nominations came in for:
- Best Upset - Giants-Patriots
- Best Team
- Best Game - Super Bowl XLII
- Best Play -David Tyree’s Catch
- Best Coach-Manager - Tom Coughlin
- Best NFL Player - Eli Manning
I agree with the Best Upset, Best Team, Best Game, and Best Play. I’m a little confused about the Best Coach and the Best NFL Player. It seems strange that the Best Coach would be a coach that pulled off the Best Upset, right? Same thing with Eli. ESPN also contradicts themselves about the Giants being the Best Team because they put them 6th in their Power Rankings. Go figure. If Coughlin is the best coach then why did Tiki retire?
The 2008 ESPYs co-presented by HUMMER and Under Armour, hosted by Justin Timberlake, will be televised Sunday, July 20 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN HD. For the fifth consecutive year, fans will determine the winners in 37 categories (excluding special awards) by voting online at www.espys.tv and, for the first time, via mobile phone at www.espn.mobi. This process will run between July 1 and July 12 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
For a full list of nominations, go to www.espnmediazone.com or www.espys.tv.
Be sure to go and vote for the Giants in all of their categories at www.espys.tv.

Please explain…You do not think it’s ironic how the Best Team can be a team that pulled off the Best Upset? Shouldn’t the Best Team be the team that was the favorite that held up their end of the bargain and won the Super Bowl?
