Comedian Nikki Glaser came to the ESPYs armed with a joke about Oilers star Connor McDavid, one that his teammate Evander Kane didn’t seem to find quite as amusing as everyone else.

Comedian Nikki Glaser took the stage at The ESPYs on Thursday night (that’s how you know it’s a big deal, by the way; it airs on a Thursday) and while she was up there she told a joke about Connor McDavid that didn’t seem to sit too well with his Edmonton Oilers teammate Evander Kane.

 

 

To me, the ESPYs are like any other award show. I hear that they’re happening the day of and then I say, “Oh yeah, that’s tonight,” and then go about my day as I normally would.

The ESPYs are especially goofy because the awards make very little sense. Sure, some are Best MLB Player or Best NFL Player, but others are like Best Team or Best Athlete across all of sports.

How do you compare athletes across sports? You can’t. That’s why the Golden Globes splits up movies and television; because they’re two completely different things.

It’d be like giving out a “best performer” award and the nominees are the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a guy who pop-locks on the street, a kid who starred in a middle school production of Grease, and another guy who can arm fart “Camptown Races

They’re all performers, but I don’t know how you compare them to each other. You can’t (although give my vote to arm fart guy), but that’s kind of what the “Best Male Athlete Award” that Glaser was presenting is doing. The nominees were Patrick Mahomes, Scottie Scheffler, Shohei Ohtani, and Connor McDavid. Saying one is better than the other when they do totally different things is ridiculous.

But they did it, and Glaser — one of the breakout stars of the Tom Brady roast — did some jokes about each nominee, but the McDavid joke seemed to be too soon for his teammate.

What I’m trying to say is that nothing will stand in the way of these incredible athletes and their pursuit of greatness,” Glaser said. “I mean, except the Florida Panthers.

“Boy, Connor that must have hurt. To lose a game of hockey to a place that doesn’t even have ice.”

Aaaaaand cut to Evander Kane, who I’m guessing was the only Oiler in attendance.

For now, the only Stanley Cup that Connor will get to hold is the one his wife asks him to grab out of the cabinet.”

Kane didn’t seem to dig that joke, and I kind of get it, they’re only a couple of weeks removed from a gut-punch loss in Game 7.

The award went to Patrick Mahomes, but, hey, Connor McDavid didn’t go home empty-handed. He won the ESPY for Best NHL Player beating out Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, and Auston Matthews.

Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium on a cold December afternoon. 76,000 people packed into the stands wearing red and gold, their voices creating that roar that made this place legendary. And Taylor Swift sat in the friends and family suite with Donna, Kelsey, and Kylie, watching Travis line up for what should have been a routine play. The Chiefs were up by 10 points against the Raiders. The game was practically won and Travis had already caught two touchdowns, was having the kind of day that reminded everyone why he was one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Taylor was smiling, cheering, her voice from screaming all game. And then everything happened so fast and so slow at the same time that later she wouldn’t be able to remember the sequence.Just the feeling of her heart stopping in her chest. Travis caught the ball, turned up field, and a Raiders linebacker came at him from the side while another hit him low. And Taylor saw Travis’s right leg bend in a way that leg should never bend, saw him go down hard, saw the ball pop loose, but nobody was celebrating the fumble because everyone on the field had gone quiet.Everyone had stopped moving, and Travis wasn’t getting up. He was on the ground holding his knee, and even from the sweet Taylor could see that something was very wrong. could see it in the way his teammates were waving frantically for the medical staff. Could see it in Patrick Mahomes’s face as he knelt down next to Travis.Taylor was on her feet before she even realized she’d moved. Was pushing past Donna, ignoring Kylie’s Taylor Wait, was running down the sweet corridor toward the stairs that would take her to field level. Security tried to stop her at the bottom of the stairs. This big guy in a chief’s polo holding up his hand, saying, “Ma’am, you can’t go down there.” But Taylor wasn’t hearing any of it. “That’s my fiance,” she screamed, and her voice came out raw and desperate and completely not caring who heard her or what cameras were on her. “That’s Travis Kelsey, and I need to get to him right now.” The security guard looked uncertain, probably recognizing her, but also knowing his job, and Taylor was about to physically fight her way past him when Andy Reed, the Chief’s head coach, appeared and nodded at the guard….See more ⤵️
