ESPYs night means re-watching Norm MacDonald's 1998 monologue

Today marks the slowest day on the sports calendar. There are a variety of sporting events, but the big four sports are out of commission for the day. Major League Baseball picks back up on Friday following the All Star break.

SB Nation put together a video on what you can get out of this free day, but there is also one other notable thing happening: the ESPYs. I say notable, if only because people know what it is. Notable does not in fact mean it is something I'll be watching. This year is kind of a big deal with Caitlynn Jenner getting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, but otherwise, it is like any other awards show: a lot of navel-gazing and back-slapping.
