Shhhhhhh. Despite what you may have thought, the ESPY’s won’t come on live this coming Sunday night.
The award show that awards a part of entertainment that has their own awards process was held last night. Justin Timberlake was the host and got the gig of telling stale jokes and ushering in athletes in tuxes and evening gowns.
He did get to chat it up with Brett Favre, who has become somewhat of a news story of late:”What have you been up to lately? I haven’t seen you anywhere,” Timberlake said. “Just chillin’? Yeah, me too.”
Favre, himself, used the event as an opportunity to make a funny. After receiving his award for Record Breaking Performance, he looked up at a video of his accomplishments, smiled and said, “Watchin’ that makes me want to play again.”
The ice is now broken.
Timberlake also took the time to go into the crowd and give Favre’s successor, Aaron Rodgers, a hug. He also referenced a certain incident at a pretty large football contest’s intermission variety extravaganza.
