You don't get to see the show until Sunday, but the ESPY awards were taped yesterday in Los Angeles. Our favorite moment was the pairing of "Best Female Athlete" winner Candace Parker with David Beckham for a photo opp. Suddenly, the soccer mega-star looks dunkable. (Getty Images/Stephen Shugerman)
Eli Manning, Michael Strahan and the rest of the New York Giants will get a collective nod in the biggest win category. And, having overcome paralysis, former Buffalo Bill Kevin Everett will take a bow while accepting the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.
There also may be a moment that makes some Packer fans squirm, because both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were in the audience. AP says host Justin Timberlake zeroed in on Favre, sitting with his wife, Deanna, and asked, "What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you anywhere . . . Just chillin'? Yeah, me too."
When Timberlake went into the audience to hug Rodgers, Favre looked a little embarrassed, drawing a laugh from the crowd.
But Favre did pick up a trophy for "Best Record-Breaking Performance."
