Summitt, who won her eighth national title with the Lady Vols, is nominated for best coach/manager along with Terry Francona of the Boston Red Sox, Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants and Doc Rivers of the Boston Celtics.
The Lady Vols, Red Sox, Giants, Celtics, Detroit Red Wings and Kansas men’s basketball were nominated for best team.

Parker's toughest competition is a golfer. Tiger will probably wrap up the men's. Must pain so many to see that

The women are the only ones who play (and coach) like men around here.

Candice continues to make us look good. Proud of you CP3 and its great to be a Tennessee Vol.
Hope you win this ESPY because you do deserve it.

I love Candace....but, it's hard for collegiate to beat out a pro in these things, so I guess it'll be Ochoa.

^^^^ Of course if these awards are based on her collegiate stuff. If they throw in her great start as a rookie, she might get it.

And it's another swing swing and a miss by the idiot brigade. Some of these fools are so-o-o-o-o-o desperate for attention.

I can see Candace getting the nod, but choosing Pat over two pro coaches that performed miracles (albeit a minor one, with Doc Rivers) is going to be a tough sell. Likewise for the Lady Vols over the Sox or the Celtics.
So get your a##es over to espys.tv and vote!
