Because nothing in life is fair, the true greatest play of the year didn’t win the ESPY for Best Play on Wednesday night.

“The Pass,” AKA Taphorn to Pardon, AKA Anarchy on Ashland, or whatever you want to call it, was nominated for an ESPY a few weeks ago. Thanks to many of you, it progressed through the fan voting process to become one of four finalists.

The other three:

  • Morgan William’s buzzer beater to end UConn Women’s Basketball’s 111-game winning streak.
  • Julian Edelman’s insane, bobbled catch in the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately, Rodgers won the prize.
