2006 ESPY Awards

Posted by: Denelle

As promised, here are some pictures from the 2006 ESPY Awards.

Seems like it was a pretty varied and interesteing crowd, but I guess that's normal for the ESPYs.





This year's show was hosted by Lance Armstrong. Who it turns out is not related to astronaut Neil Armstrong, despite Will Ferrell's song suggesting otherwise.



In the Olympian corner we had Bode Miller - who cleans up pretty nice when he isn't partying. Along with Bruce Jenner (who has traded up in the world of wives) and Sean "The Flying Tomato" who had the honor of presenting with Dave Navarros's soon to be ex-wife Carmen Electra.

The Pittsburgh Steelers took home the trophy for best Team, despite the fact that their quaterback almost killed himself a month ago in a motorcycle accident where he wasn't wearing a helmet.



Rounding out the evening (or at least my recap of it) is Venus Williams in a dress she obviously didn't design because it's not half bad.



My final thoughts on this year's ESPY Awards.

Ben Stiller is looking old. Most female athletes have no idea how to wear a dress. And the trifecta that is Lance Armstrong, Jake Gyllenhaal and Matthew McConaughey sort of creeps me out.
