The ESPYS gather top celebrities from sports and entertainment to commemorate the past year’s best sports stories by recognizing major achievements, reliving unforgettable moments and saluting the leading performers and performances. The 2007 ESPYs will include both sport-specific awards such as Best Breakthrough Athlete and Best Game and distinguishing “Best in Sport” awards, categories that put different sports against each other, such as Best Team. The ESPYs are committed to the advancement of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, established by ESPN with the late Jim Valvano and announced at the inaugural ESPYs in 1993.

The ESPYS are the ESPN Awards Show and don’t let anyone tell you that the ESPN guys don’t know how to gift their guests with the best of the swag bags!! Here’s a listing of ALL the goodies that these guys are getting!
