A Look Inside The ESPY's Gift Bag
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
Nothing is more bourgeoisie than giving insanely rich stars and athletes a bag full of really expensive stuff for free, but alas it's still kind of intriguing. Here's the list that ESPN just released for the ESPY's....
Amadeus Spa- Gift CertificateWow...that was long. Sorry about that but once I started it was too late to stop. I think my personal favorite is the share in a racehorse. That's a pretty cool gift. I also imagine that about 90% of those gift cards are going to be Christmas presents come the Winter. So if you're related to the likes of say a Brendan Fraser....expect a nice trip to a Bed & Breakfast.

15 Comments:
I love how the Disneyland tickets are park-hoppers, in case you accidentally went to California Adventure. Athletes truly get all of the perks.
The Richard Petty Experience is nice but I'm surprised they couldn't throw in the Brett Favre Experience. Just send the athletes/celebs down to Favre's farm in Mississippi to listen to #4 talk about not being 100% committed, coming back, retiring, not feeling wanted, requesting his release so he can sign with the team of choice etc. etc.
P.S. I'm a Wisconsin native/Packer fan and my head is spinning with this story...
coincidentally, ebay username jtmbrlke has a lot of this stuff currently up for auction.

Subway gift card? ROFLMAO
Somebody needs to make sure the IRS knows about this. Nothing would bring more joy to my miserable life than some athletes getting hammered on their taxes because they didn't report something that ESPN gave them as income.

Interestingly enough, Travis Henry has decided to skip this year's show.
Haha I couldn't get beyond the first few:
A premium breathalyzer!?!?
That would take all the joy out of ESPN if we never heard about the DUI of the week
DNA Ancestry kit?
Then there would be no suspense to Travis Henry
ESPN your really trying to cut off your own shtick with this gift bag
Bobbi Brown- Sunscreen
That's likely more effective than Bobby Brown's sunscreen made with heroin and crack.
Chipotle once a week FOR A YEAR? Effing gross! None of them will eat it, but imagine 1200 calories at one sitting, every week, for a year.

That is really cool!
Jake - That's 52 chances to catch Hepatitis A.
I hope they all die.
Good Job! :)
I didn't see the 2% of the race horse in the picture. Wait, what?
