The Seattle Seahawks are involved in two categories for the ESPY Awards, which take place on July 15, and the 12s won’t like either one of them.
The first is Best Game. Super Bowl XLIX is one of three finalists. Few people in Seattle would describe it that way, at least not the way it ended.
Here are the other two finalists:
A’s vs. Royals AL wild-card game
Spurs vs. Clippers, Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference quarterfinals
The other category is even more painful: Best Play.
One of the nominees is the goal-line interception by New England defensive back Malcolm Butler that saved the Super Bowl for the Patriots. It’s one of 16 nominees, which go head-to-head, bracket style. Here’s the list:
1. Odell Beckham Jr. catch vs. 16. Albany goalie lacrosse goal
2. Bahamas Bowl Hail Mary vs. 15. Dwayne Bravo cricket catch
3. Lionel Messi goal vs. 14. Jerian Grant dunk
4. Malcolm Butler INT vs. 13. Josh Sheehan triple back flip
5. Stephen Curry step back 3 vs. 12. Ameer Abdullah TD run
6. Ronda Rousey armbar vs. 11. Gerald Green dunk off the glass
7. Tyler Ennis goal vs. 10. Shoni Schimmel circus shot
8. Kevin Pillar catch vs. 9. Jeremy Menez goal
