Connor McDavid ripped to shreds by comedian Nikki Glaser at the ESPY Awards

The ESPY Awards bring together the biggest and brightest stars in the sports world to celebrate the biggest accomplishments over the last year. This year for the Best Athlete in Men's Sports the finalists were Patrick Mahomes, Scottie Scheffler, Shohei Ohtani, and Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid.

When it came time to present the award comedian Nikki Glaser was tasked with doing the honors. During her presentation, she took the time to roast each of the nominees.

For Patrick Mahomes, she went after the Taylor Swift connection to his teammate Travis Kelce while also mentioning the many television commercials that Patrick Mahomes finds himself in.

Scottie Scheffler heard jokes in regard to his arrest before the PGA Championship. Shohei Ohtani was faced with jokes about his former translator Ippei Mizuhara who was convicted of illegal gambling.

Finally, Connor McDavid faced jokes about losing to a team in a state with no ice followed up by a joke about the only Stanley Cup Connor McDavid will see is the one he gets out of the cabinet for his wife.

Once everyone in the audience got their proper laughs and the nominees were properly roasted it was time to present the award. Despite breaking NHL playoff records and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy it just was not quite enough for Connor McDavid to win the ESPY. Instead, the award went to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Now Connor McDavid will have to continue getting over the loss in the Stanley Cup Finals without the help of an ESPY Award to lessen the sting. It will be interesting to see how he and the Edmonton Oilers bounce back in 2024-25.
