ESPN ESPY Awards 2011 Summary

The 2011 ESPY Awards was aired live on ESPN Wednesday, July 13th at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. Seth Meyers reprised his role as the show's host, and if you are a Meyers fan, I am sure you will find his performance funny. If not, I don't think he did anything to change your mind. I'll watch anything Meyers does—so needless to say I enjoyed it.

There were a ton of celebrity presenters to hand out the ESPYs. Here are just a few of the names that took a turn at the podium on Wednesday night: Jason Bateman, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Brooklyn Decker, Chris Evans, Cee Lo Green, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Love, Rachel Nichols, Danica Patrick, Ryan Reynolds, Aaron Rodgers, Amar'e Stoudemire, Justin Timberlake, and Serena Williams.

But the real stars of the ESPY awards are the athletes and teams that take home the awards. Without further ado, here are the winners for each ESPY award:

Arthur Ashe Courage Award
Dewey Bozella
