Aaron Murray, the Georgia QB, and Connor Barwin of the Texas Were Upset Alex Morgan Didn’t Win an ESPY
All, ESPN, Twitter, Women's Sports July 12th. 2012, 10:00am

Alex Morgan was kind of a big deal at the ESPYs Wednesday. Attractive and athletic, what’s not to love? So what if she has a boyfriend?
A college football QB and an NFL defensive end tweeted out some thoughts on Morgan after she didn’t win the ESPY award for “Best Breakthrough Athlete.” That honor went to Jeremy Lin. [via @JimmyTraina

USWNT and its players shouldn’t win any awards, they embarrassed our country in the World Cup.

how much of a breakthrough is he if his current team doesn’t really even want him?
July 12th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
In other good news, this post will now show up when people Google “Alex+Morgan+ESPY”.
July 12th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
It’s amazing how they were all given a free pass (even celebrated) after completely choking that game away.
July 12th, 2012 at 10:11 AM

July 12th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
So what if she has a boyfriend?
What’s your man got to do with me? I’m not tryin’ to hear that see.

July 12th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Beyond painful that this is considered news.
July 12th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
I agree.

The entire school? Yeah, that’s doable.
July 12th, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Then why’d they match his contract and name him the starter?

That could be a great FF team name. It has that “Better Call Saul” ring to it.

I’m confident Alex Morgan could kick Aaron Murray’s ass.

It won’t be. McIntyre has been waiting for this post for six months.

Thanks to Dirk, I first read that as TBL saying that tweet was the best tweet of the day regarding the situation.

The ESPY’s are rigged. No way in hell it’s truly voted on by the “fans.”
July 12th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
does Vegas have odds on potential ban hammering? I’d love to know if I’m a value bet or not.

TBL has been polishing that banhammer for a couple weeks now. It has been somewhat unsettled in here recently.

Miz, I’d say you are worth 4-1 odds every single day. Some days those odds increase quite a bit. Your previous banning gives you good street cred in Vegas.

Spencer isn’t getting banned. He barely even bitches about the lack of golf stuff here. He only gets out of hand when OSU is good at football, so it has been a few years. His foil, Maggs, hasn’t been around in forever.

Spencer has a remarkable ability to be completely low brow without actually offending anyone. He probably actually has the lifetime pass that Taguchi thought he had.

3. Complain about the server
4. End it with a personal dong shot
