Ugh…I almost forgot all about the American Country Awards. Â Damn, that entire show was a trainwreck starting from the hosts and ending with the “Red Solo Cup” performance of the decade. It was so bad that we started to do a snarky play by play, but bailed half way through the show because it would have been like kicking a kitten. Â It was so bad that it wasn’t even fun to make fun of it.
