Lubeck Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 http://www.giants.com/news/headlines/story...?story_id=27189 Giants Nominated for Six ESPYs By Giants.com JULY 2, 2008 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), and Best NFL Player (Eli Manning). 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. What has a chance at winning is Best Upset, Best Game, and Best Manager. Best Team and Beat Coach-Manager are iffy. Best NFL Player simply isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Agreed, thats what I thought. Play (Tyree's catch)is a shoe in. Best upset, should clearly be the winner. Best team/game and Coach-manager is iffy and Eli aint gonna win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I saw this article a few days ago and was wondering why it left out George Martin's nomination. Well thats Giants.com for you... I think Best Game, Best Upset, and Best Play should be shoe-ins, but the Giants have an affinity for getting fucked over in awards/honors; not like these matter for anything anyway.

jranieli Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 1. Best Team in the NFC East who did not win the Super Bowl but was the better team all season and deserved it: Dallas Cowboys. 2. Team to beat in 2008, NFL should not play the season just hand the trophy to: Dallas Cowboys. 3. Best QB ever not to win a playoff game: Tony Romo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget this is a public vote not a panel, not that we had anywhere near a consistant enough season to warrant best team, coach or player.

Sephiroth Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 They HAVE to win for best upset, and if Tyree and Eli don't win Best Play there's something seriously wrong... that might be the single greatest play in Super Bowl history. I'd say Best Game and Best Team are also plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah, Im sure them schmucks will give it to Belichik. Over the season he did a better job. We won the SB but our season was very mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so-cal dub Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 No offense, but do you guys seriously watch the ESPY's? I thought for sure you would. You know your man is hosting, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I thought for sure you would. You know your man is hosting, right? I explained before the origin of the handle was not based on Stuart Scott (i'm sure most don't believe that which is understandable). And if Stuart Scott is hosting well that's just more reason why not to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBLUE01 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Apalacian State might. And that would be an injustice. Sure, that FIRST game of the season was a nice win for that school. But what did they do after? Nada. Ours resulted in the big prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours resulted in the big prize. Yeah but the award isn't for biggest win, it's biggest upset, and after we took it to the Pats in week 16 no one should have been so surprised we took them down in the Big Dance.

Virginia Giant Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Apalacian State might. I think all the other upsets in college football this year watered it down a lot. Every week there was a nobiody school knocking off a top 10 school it seemed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
