I think its 3 morons in a van somewhere. impossible to handicap. I took Henin who won 3 slams in a year, they gave it to Serena who played half a season. I took Federer at +150 with his 2 slams and #1 ranking for all 52 weeks, they gave it to Andy Roddick. Has nothing whatsoever to do with REALITY.

The ESPY's are another thing created by ESPN to make news. Why can't ESPN just report the news instead?

You, the fans, vote for the categories via the Internet.

The voting is done on ESPN.com

They have polls on each page on the right side of each sports front page you go to. I voted on a bunch last week. Haven't seen any for a few days.

There is probably other places though.

Fans vote so it is a popularity contest. Obvious that Serena would win in a popularity contest as well as Roddick that time. Stick with what you do best, picking tennis winners and you will be fine.
