I don't exactly get it, but ESPN's ESPY Awards won't be broadcast until Sunday night despite the ceremony being held last night in Los Angeles.

Maybe ESPN was too busy broadcasting the replay of the All-Star Home Run Derby, but the night after the All-Star game, which is virtually devoid of any sports, would seem like the perfect night to broadcast the awards. Instead, ESPN waits until baseball is back from the break.

At any rate you don't have to wait. The full winners list is right here:

No way.

Federer? Are these awards from 2006?

I agree on Federer.so far he is 0-2 in major finals and Nadal has got to be favourite in the other 2.

No kidding. When I saw Sid over Alex, I just had to shake my head. Federer I can see being the Male Tennis player just because up until now, he was the most dominant to ever step on the hard court, and especially grass.

And Beckham? Give me a freakin break. How about Landon Donovan?

I think they always show the ESPYs on a different day than they actually occur. I'm not sure who actually watches that thing. My friends and I are all pretty sports obsessed, but none of us would think about watching it.

Also, Justin Timberlake hosted it.
