Chargers’ Tomlinson runs off with 4 ESPYs

LOS ANGELES – LaDainian Tomlinson won four trophies at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night, including male athlete of the year for his record-setting season with the San Diego Chargers.

Tomlinson defeated LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, Wimbledon champion Roger Federer and Tiger Woods for athlete of the year.

James and comedian Jimmy Kimmel co-hosted the 15th annual show honoring the year’s best sports moments and athletes at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre. It airs Sunday at 6 p.m. PDT on ESPN.

Tomlinson also won best NFL player, record-breaking performance, and the Like Nothing Else award. The NFL MVP scored 31 touchdowns and 186 points, both league records, and rushed for 1,875 yards.

James won best NBA player; Federer earned his third straight male tennis player trophy; Manning won championship performance for his Super Bowl triumph; and Woods was chosen best golfer for the third year in a row, his record 18th ESPY.

James did a song-and-dance routine in glasses and a wig to Bobby Brown’s song “My Prerogative” with rewritten lyrics.

The Colts were named best team, while Tony Dungy, the first black coach to win a Super Bowl, captured the best coach-manager category.

Arizona softball star Taryne Mowatt won female athlete of the year and female college athlete honors. She pitched every inning, including eight complete games, to lead the Wildcats to the NCAA title.

Boise State’s football team won awards for best game and best play. The Broncos upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on a two-point conversion using the Statue of Liberty play.
