Although it hasn’t necessarily gotten the best reviews, the Dudettes wanted to take a moment to congratulate Seth Meyers on his hilarious opening monologue of the 2011 ESPY Awards on ESPN last night. He took the opportunity to roast athletes from around the sporting world. We just wanted to highlight a few of our favorite jokes.
Basketball
-“Yao Ming announced he’s retiring from basketball….or that he’s retiling his bathroom. It’s really hard to say.”
-“LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade refer to themselves as the ‘Big 3’ in honor of how many quarters they play.”
Baseball
-“The proceeds from tonight’s show are going to a very worthy charity—the Los Angeles Dodgers of America.”
-“The Dodgers are so broke, their third-base coach is just a mirror reflecting the image of their first base coach.”
-“Some pitchers have goatees, Brian Wilson has an entire goat.”
Football – and the final joke of the night….
Meyers congratulated Aaron Rodgers on the Green Bay Super Bowl win and for finally stepping out of the shadows of Brett Favre. Then commented “Which we learned, thanks to cell phone technology, is not as big a shadow as we originally thought.”
Bravo Mr. Meyers, Bravo!!
Thanks for the link. Missed it live.
