The ESPYS gather top celebrities from sports and entertainment to commemorate the past year’s best sports stories by recognizing major achievements, reliving unforgettable moments and saluting the leading performers and performances. The 2006 ESPYS will include both sport-specific awards such as Best MLB Player and Best WNBA Player and distinguishing “Best in Sport” awards, categories that pit different sports against each other, such as Best Team or Best Female Athlete. The ESPYS are committed to the advancement of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, established by ESPN with the late Jim Valvano and announced at the inaugural ESPYS in 1993.
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.
I'm a little surprised they didn't throw one of their ESPN Mobile phones in there, as much as they've been pimping the damn phone this year, or some tons of ESPN crap, the Mag, etc.
And yea, for that gift bag, I would actually go to the ESPYs, which is easily the worst award show ever made. Who's gonna win the best football team? Hmmm maybe the team who won the superbowl?

This one made me chuckle.
That is a lot of stuff, but don't they have to pay taxes on all this swag? I thought I had heard something about celebs turning down these gifts because of the tax liability.

That would be a good point if that was an actual category, but it isn't.

But you get the general idea. You can pretty much interchange the category with any slew of ones they actually use.
