Vote for the Heels

If you’re looking for something to cure your mid-summer sports blues, head on over to ESPN.com and vote for the 2009 ESPYs.  Specifically, vote for the 2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Champion North Carolina Tar Heels for Best Team, and then rail against the ridiculous shutout the Heels received in all other categories.

Really, ESPN?  No nod to Roy for Best Coach?  You have the Tampa Bay Rays’ manager, but no Roy?

Really?  No nod for Tyler, or Ty, or Wayne for College Male Athlete?

I’m all for spreading things out and including a variety of sports, teams, and players.  But considering the narrative you and your pseudo-analysts promoted following the Final Four (that of total and imminent domination by the Heels, the best team in college basketball), wouldn’t you expect North Carolina to yield more than one fucking nomination in your pathetic beauty contest?

Suck it.
