"I mostly watch the ESPYs for the jaw-dropping experience of seeing the world&amp;#x27;s fittest, tallest women rock evening gowns. Oh hi, Maria Sharapova.But the dazzling dresses were just the start of last night&amp;#x27;s magic. And today, I&amp;#x27;m still thinking about these two women. Jessica Long took home the award for Best Female Athlete With a Disability. Long, a Paralympic Swimmer, broke five (count &amp;#x27;em, FIVE) world records at the qualifying trials for London 2012 earlier this summer. Jessica&amp;#x27;s story is amazing--she was born in Siberia and adopted by American parents as a baby--her legs were partially amputated at birth. Jessica tweeted giddily after her ESPY win, including this sweet pic. I&amp;#x27;m hitting follow... love this gal. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly longtime University of Tennessee women&amp;#x27;s basketball coach Pat Summitt, who recently revealed that she is suffering from Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s disease, receiving the Arthur Ashe award. From the time Peyton Manning started talking, I was crying. The whole video is well worth watching, but definitely don&amp;#x27;t miss Pat&amp;#x27;s beautiful speech, the shots of Pat and her son starting at 6:00, and her acceptance, starting around 12:00.
