if we're gonna give them props for the very few good things they have left, i think they still have, by far, the best website. easy to navigate to any and everything i'm looking for, comparatively fewer 'cookies' and other junk/ads to be forced to load, personalized team/player/league headlines, among other things. every other sports site makes you want to rip your hair out strand by strand. but it's actually also going down a shitty path of its own... they're shamelessly making an increasing percentage of content only available to ESPN+ subscribers. Make it separate! Don't put these major, intriguing articles on the front page as the MAJOR headline and then direct you to a subscription signup page after teasing the first 2 sentences. It's transparently greedy
@@jamie49868 thanks for the... illuminating discourse. You have hereby announced to the world the earth-shattering development that user @jamie t no longer cares about sports! How will our planet ever be the same again?
@@AreolaGrande94 I feel honored that my announcement had such an impact upon you, that you had to reply. Thanks for caring more about my decision than I do. Your world will obviously never be the same, yet I think the planet will be fine.
Unlike South Park, this Kenny ain't dead. The way people are talking makes it seem like he's gone home to glory. ESPN on the other hand is a different story.
The best SportSCenter pairing will forever be for me Dan Patrick and Kenny Mayne. After Sunday Night Baseball that was must see TV back in the mid to late 90’s.
Kenny is so awesome on the air, I guess he wasn't enough of a social justice weirdo for ESPN. I hope some other network uses their brains and picks him up immediately.
They will never be able to replace that dry humor. Among a bunch of guys that were either super straight-laced and sophisticated/uptight/unrelatable or obviously forcing in really lame prewritten hack jokes, he could have been a real comedian. Sports is where we go for relief from the 'real world' and having a guy that really embodied how fun and entertaining the world of sports is supposed to be in a sea of guys trying to present sports like CNN or MSNBC was why he was my all-time favorite. ESPN has officially 'jumped the shark' (hit em with the hein)
This gives ESPN yet another opportunity to hire a millenial woman who knows nothing about sports but is totally up to date on all the latest celebrity gossip.
I can just imagine Olbermann in his bathrobe and slippers, stomping around in his apartment, screaming anti-Trump rhetoric at his cat. “DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! THE MAN IS A F#@&ING WAR CRIMINAL, MR. FLUFFLES!!! HE HAS KILLED BILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! WHY CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!?!”
I know. I get that when DP worked with Olberman he was sane... -ish, but to defend Keith now after his several high profile meltdowns and resignations/firings and spewing of divisive insane TDS?
It was my impression that he wasn’t on ESPN for years never saw hide nor hair of him. Then when he came back on he looked like this really old guy lol. Which is Ok for me to say since I’m 54, but he just looked like a dinosaur. Not sure why he even came back. I mean ESPN isn’t news anymore. It’s a sports purveyor and PR firm. Their NBA coverage and announcers are so PR it makes me sick. Be glad you’re rid of them.
the old, original espn, was the best. bunch of guys talking sports and havingvfun. now, unwatchable and I don't but would if they return to sports and away from activist politics.
Is jimmy pitaro even running the show at espn do the activists on twitter have something on him why does espn keep making all these bad decisions I refuse to believe jimmy pitaro is this incompetent John skipper would of happily done something like this
Idiots is not like he's at a live game He's watching tapes of stuff that already happened Is not as hes at a live game then I kind of will understand it lol 😆
"Bring me your finest meats and cheeses" - Kenny Mayne
One of the few reasons that I might even think of tuning in to ESPN...gone. No need anymore.
You might need to reassess your life if Kenny Mayne is a major reason to watch ESPN
ESPN continues down a shitty path. Except for CFB and the Masters, I am out on that place.
They are sickening!

I haven't watched Sports Center in quite a while. It's easy when you no longer care about sports.

ESPN reminds me of when MTV stopped playing videos.
This. Exactly
You could not have said that any better...a perfect analogy
ESPN is allowing other media outlets back into the game now. Bold Strategy, Cotton.
An absolutely unique sense of humor ... that is Kenny Mayne's legacy at ESPN.
I was just thinking this guy is unique, funny and a ray of light over the weekend, it’s espn’s loss
The best SportSCenter pairing will forever be for me Dan Patrick and Kenny Mayne. After Sunday Night Baseball that was must see TV back in the mid to late 90’s.
Nah, Scott and Eisen. They could and did finish each others lines.
The mothership is completely lost.
Has been for quite some time.
Screw ESPN
I love that DP loves Zeppelin and When the Levee breaks. Greatest Band and song ever!
Kenny is so awesome on the air, I guess he wasn't enough of a social justice weirdo for ESPN. I hope some other network uses their brains and picks him up immediately.
Kenny had the the best homerun calls on sportscenter. great anchor
ESPN will never be the same.
Can’t believe Berman gets paid and Kenny doesn’t.
“He ran like people were chasing him”
Loved what Kenny brought to television, super unique and hilarious
Marty and McGee is the only “old school” show left on ESPN
I know lol
Are they still on?😁😁
@@derrellthomas239 Saturday morning on the SEC network
@@TheMontalicious Thx!
Kenney was always a good watch. ESPN is a woke joke.
More like the strong hate for straight white males non Jewish
Guys, he's not dead. The beginning of the video is like a eulogy.
🤣
It's a eulogy for ESPN.
The end of a era with all of you gone from there . It just isn’t the same
ESPN blows!

“Great soul,” is a great description! Also, Kenny is funnier than Van Pelt. I never watch ESPN anymore, anyway. Too woke!
lol okay Clay Travis
ESPN is dying a slow death....and a shell of what it used to be
Not really that slow either !
This gives ESPN yet another opportunity to hire a millenial woman who knows nothing about sports but is totally up to date on all the latest celebrity gossip.
Jesus Christ you took the words right out of my mouth. Mina kimes to the rescue
Yep. All they're doing now is injecting SJWS on espn.
Mina Kimes is good tho.
If it wasn't for SEC football I would never ever watch garbage espn. Good luck Kenny. I know you'll find a better place.
"AND THE KINGDOM IS MINE FOR AS FAR AS THE BALL SHALL TRAVEL!!"
Kenny is great.
A new time and a new era for ESPN, the good thing is no one loses in this, both get a fresh start and will continue to be successful.
2021 Study Group:
I want to see Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen, Kenny Mayne Do a New 11 O’clock Sports Show! Or come up with one. It can be on RUclips
Dan Patrick , Stewart Scott and Kenny Mayne, the best of ESPN, all gone. ESPN is nothing like it once was and not even worth watching anymore.
Rich Eisen as well.
@@scootscootriot1020 definitely !!!
I thought he was let go years ago... Don't recall seeing him for a long time.
Another reason why ESPN is complete garbage now.
Kenny is still alive. Yes? Sounded like a post mortem.
Espn low balled him. They wanted him to take a 61% pay cut. This guy helped put sportscenter and more importantly ESPN on the map. He deserved better
ESPN is dying, good riddance.
He's Tall
"he was nothing like Olberman". that must mean Kenny was sane.
I can just imagine Olbermann in his bathrobe and slippers, stomping around in his apartment, screaming anti-Trump rhetoric at his cat.
“DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?! THE MAN IS A F#@&ING WAR CRIMINAL, MR. FLUFFLES!!! HE HAS KILLED BILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! WHY CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!?!”

Olbermann the most overrated sports announcer in history!!!
But hey...they got Max Kellerman. So they got that going for them 🙄
Kenny Mayne, paraphrasing, "That's his 15,000th point....not in one game, that'd be a record." and "He's 7-1....that's tall."
Go woke go broke.
Bar stools is the new Espn...they will hire him..or Mayne get a podcast
Why’d Dan say he got let go? I thought he just left after he and ESPN couldn’t reach a new contract.
ESPN offered Kenny a 61% pay cut.
Bye Bye ESPN 😪 You can't retire after 27 years what the F??? They couldn't throw him a party and force him to retire?
It was my impression that he wasn’t on ESPN for years never saw hide nor hair of him. Then when he came back on he looked like this really old guy lol. Which is Ok for me to say since I’m 54, but he just looked like a dinosaur. Not sure why he even came back. I mean ESPN isn’t news anymore. It’s a sports purveyor and PR firm.

Right on Kenny Maine
the old, original espn, was the best. bunch of guys talking sports and havingvfun. now, unwatchable and I don't but would if they return to sports and away from activist politics.
Mayne must be a republican.
DP talkin' bout him like he died, all past tense, bizarre
It's called "going down memory lane"
The Whiff.
He's Tall.
The way our parents’ generation got jobs so easily was so ridiculous.
DAN AND KEITH were the best.....
ESPN is fucking up lately Smdh
Is jimmy pitaro even running the show at espn do the activists on twitter have something on him why does espn keep making all these bad decisions I refuse to believe jimmy pitaro is this incompetent John skipper would of happily done something like this
They’re acting like he died.
Who will capitalize on the failures of espn?
Idiots is not like he's at a live game
He's watching tapes of stuff that already happened
Is not as hes at a live game then
I kind of will understand it lol 😆
DP is great but he makes it sound like Mayne died or something. He lost his job and that happens everyday to people
Or he's just rehashing memories.
mayne catered to the woke mob and got canned anyway! Lol!
Yep! Coming full circle now
Kenny Mayne got on my nerves and was not funny to me...
I used to like Kenny mayne but lately he was just trying to be too funny, like annoying funny.
So this means VanPelt, Greenberg and Wingo are all gone too, right?
