Back in March of this year , I wrote a post asking why Justin Timberlake of all people would be hosting a sports awards show. Justin is typically annoying, but I’ll be damned if he didn’t crack me up a few times during the telecast (and I actually only saw HALF the show). There was a little comedy piece they did with Terrell Owens and Brett Favre crying that was hilarious, ...

Teenie Boppers rejoice! Boy Band Badass (if that’s not an oxymoron, I don’t know what is) Justin Timberlake is hosting the ESPYs on Sunday! OMG! JT ON ESPN! I guess ESPN has given up on its current demographic, young, affluent, male sports nuts between the ages of 18 and 34, and is trying to boost its ratings in the 8- to 12-year-old Barbie Doll demographic.

Justin Timberlake killed it at the ESPY Awards . I think he even got Posh Spice to crack half a smile. Here’s an interview JT did with ABC’s Robin Roberts the morning after his performance.

Shockingly, and I truly mean shockingly, Justin Timberlake wasn't that bad. He really wasn't. Sure, the 2008 ESPYs were filled with run-into-the-ground gags (see Mario Chalmers), but overall JT held his own with a tough crowd. And while Brett Favre certainly stole the spotlight (he has a knack for doing that), the show otherwise ran smoothly and even made me chuckle once or twice.

I know you're probably sick of the ESPYs stories, but there's just one more to pass along. According to Arash Markazi of SI , not every Justin Timberlake joke was well received last week (and no not because it just wasn't funny).

The 2008 Espy’s aired on Sunday night and I must admit that I was not expecting much from Justin Timberlake. I found the show to be absolutely amazing and thought his delivery was superb.

OK, I'll admit it—I like Justin Timberlake. He totally seems like a cool dude. He's hit some of the hottest chicks in the world, recorded with some great artists, sang some great songs and most recently, hosted the shit out of the ESPY'S. Chances are they'll be replaying it for the next few days (read: weeks), as they have already re-aired it today at lunch. But if you don't catch it, allow ...The ESPYs Were Definitely Cheesy, But Not Necessarily Bad

I caught most of the ESPYs last night and I have to say that while the event is a bit over the top, and the jokes are pretty bad, it's not all that bad. Sure you wouldn't go out of your way to watch it, but if you say...."had to"....it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Let me start by saying that I have never liked Justin Timberlake, this year's Espy host, until now. He's been genuinely entertaining, in fact, I thought his opening was downright hilarious. My personal favorites were his hugging and consoling of Aaron Rodgers, and his personal thanks to Bill Belicheck and the New England Patriots for providing all the camera crews for the evening. ...for sale: a shirtless carl edwards
