Update: Did you miss our live blog of the ESPY Awards? Scroll down and click “Play” to relive every thrilling moment along with Henning and Richard. (Be warned, West Coast readers: Spoilers abound!) For the rest of you, what did you think of the show? Let us know in the comments section below.
Join us at 9 p.m. EDT this Sunday for our live blog of ESPN’s annual sports awards show. Your master of ceremonies, EW’s Henning Fog, will be joined by special guest Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated.
This year’s nominees include Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Michael Phelps (Best Male Athlete), and Serena Williams (Best Female Athlete). The show taped earlier this week, but we hear it’s full of surprises (nothing like some technical glitches to liven up an awards broadcast!).
For a reminder, enter your e-mail into the widget below. See you on Sunday!

They’ve already announced the winners. Why watch?
I actually went to the show on Wednesday. Overall, it’s just okay. There were some technical glitches, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t edit them out since most of them had to do with the teleprompter, which shut down a few times and had to eventually be replaced.
Live Blogging a recorded show lol Well atleast it’s less ridiculous than live-blogging a memorial service.
I love erin andrews. http://www.bbwsinglesdate.com/
Someone is trying to justify their job…

That takeoff on Samuel Jackson was pathetic and in poor taste. People dont want to hear that garbage over and over. Rating: P for pathetic
They’re streaming it live over at http://unlocksports.com/watch28015.html for free if you wanna watch it online.
Also if you miss the live stream you can go download the replay at http://unlocksports.com/file2018451.html (it takes them at least 20 minutes to upload the replay though fyi)
Bob, what happened with Samuel?

“8:58 Rich: And McCartney was a teenager the last time the Mets won a World Series…”
Are we talking about PAUL McCartney, Rich? Because I’m pretty sure Paul wasn’t a teenager in 1986, which is actually the last time the Mets own the World Series. It’s ok though because it’s an easy mistake to make, given that the ‘86 Series is only one of the most famous World Series of all time (the Bill Buckner play!).
I hate to sound like a jerk and, obviously, I don’t expect sports expertise from EW. But the person who made the above quote is a writer for “Sports Illustrated.” Maybe I’m the only one, but it was kinda hard for me to take him seriously after that. And the show hadn’t even started yet.
Then again, this WAS a live blog of a taped event. What’s up next? Are we going to live blog “Friends” on TBS tomorrow?
The above statement to “Keep your comments clean and don’t use inappropriate language is a JOKE. ESPY award practice what you preach. Samuel L. Jackson’s skit was absolutely horrible even though that FOWL language was beeped. Hey one can still lip read and the implication or suggestion was like trash. Whoever produced this and allowed it to be shown ought to be shamed. How can a huge company allow something like this even get to the drawing table! It was Assonine at the higest level. In our crazy society of today some people would lose their job to allow this to happen…man o man what’s happening to our morals and country and world….P.S. Kids and women can lip read too!….It Stunk Stunk Stunk!! Nick Carrier
Sidney Crosby????? He is not even the best player on his team, let alone the NHL. Clearly these voters are uneducated. And he is a pusssssseee.
Please explain how you can “live blog” an event RECORDED DAYS AGO?!?!
What’s next, “live blogging” the moon landing? Magna Carta signing? That big flood where the arc was built? Sheesh.
Are you trying to make “live blogging” the most annoyingly misused phrase in journalism since “breaking news”???
THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED DAYS AGO — THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN “LIVE BLOG” IT!!!
Uncle Walter is frowning on you from above.
Hey, I just put in a video tape of my fifth birthday party … want to “live blog” it?
Next up, a tape of the 1982 Academy Awards – “live” blog to follow!
Jackpot! A laser disc of the original “Star Wars” … “live” blogging to commence immediately! Then tomorrow I will “live blog” my “live” blog of the day before!
Just when I think all the non stop yapping about Twitter and how ONE FRIGGIN’ PERCENT OF THE POPULATION uses this loser gadget because they have nothing better to do comes a NEW low:
“Live” blogging of an event that happened days ago.
Does anyone there even have a faint memory of what it was like to be merely a puff’n'fluff journalism outlet?
It is extremely rude to dig up an event that was dead and done days ago and shock it back into “live blogging” existence.
It is impossible to “live” blog an event that happened THE PREVIOUS FRIGGIN’ WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
… thanks for the laugh! (And making us look like journalists).
I wondered how a magazine could give such gushing reviews to pieces of crap like TRANSFORMERS and BRUNO …
but now I see that the place is run by a bunch of morons.
“Live” blogging of an event that happened the prior week? That’s a good one! Care to talk about whether “Slumdog Millionaire” stands a good chance to win big at the Oscars last year?
heh heh … heheh … heh heh heh
live? heh heh heh HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
… BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA
LIVE blog? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pathetic
Have you no standards?
You cannot “live blog” an event that was taped the previous week.
Comprende?
i think they were merely live blogging the first tv airing of the show. it is amazing how mean and evil other people can be. goodness, give it a rest.
… it’s not being mean, it’s keeping it real. Someone has to have a standard of what a term means.
They’re showing a rerun of the ESPYs on ESPN2 tonight — where’s the “live” blog?
…And a “standard” for the term “live blog”? Uggh. You’re wasting your time in a) complaining about something that has no standards to begin with, and b) complaining at all. What’s the point?
