He was funny once...but he is simply boring now...and hasn't updated his schtick...it is OLD. Give it up, Kenny. You are far from original...and so is ESPN.

He and Keith Olbermann have to be the funniest sports personalitites on the planet. Kenny has done a bit too much horse racing in the past few years, but he is still absolutely hysterical. If only he could dance...

His comedy may be dry but it is still informative in a funny way. I liked when he told about the little known rule the fair catch kick.

Dry humor is annoying. Tries to be the Bob Newhart of ESPN, but isn't funny or credible.

A colorful character for ESPN. A bit shrewd at times.

What can I say, funny and puts a hilarious spin on news. But can he stay the course of the silly sports guy? or will it wear off? So far so good.

Like most of the ESPN heads, he thinks it all about him. Report the sports; if I want funny, I'll look in on the comedy channel.

Used to be amusing, but work of the last few years has been horrendous. The worst part is, he thinks everything he does is hilarious. And there's nothing worse than somebody who thinks they're funny who isn't.

A total jack ass.. Met him at the all star game and wouldn't give me the time of day! Like EVERYONE at ESPN he broadcasts personal opinions disguised as "sports journalism" a complete fraud in every sense of the word. Loves big money, big market teams, thinks the other 98% of the population and their teams are not worthy of his or his network's attention and a complete drunk..

I miss Kenny Mayne. What a refreshing voice and sense of humor. ESPN and Fox Sports need more like him. He's serious, but he knows that he has a fun job and lets his viewers know it. We need more Kenny Mayne on ESPN. I'm fed up with all of this "Hollah" from know-it-all Stuart Scott.

They say that sarcasm is the lowest form of humor. I think the people who say this are the targets of sarcasm and have no sense of humor. To be sarcastic, one must be intelligent enough to make an intellectual retort of ill-based humor, but tactful enough not to offend most people. Kenny has a wonderful sense of humor and his sarcasm is greatly appreciated.

Kenny Mayne, like most of the ESPN gang, takes himself too seriously. They think they are stars in and of themselves. C'mon! Get a grip! You're a damn sports reporter. I remember once on Two Minute Drill when he tripped and busted his ass. It was hilarious. You guys at ESPN (with the exception of Boomer and Jackson) should keep you dumbass theatrics and opinions to yourselves and just tell us what the hell happened in sports.

It takes a special type of person to truly appreciate Mayne's sense of humor, and let's face it, those of us spending a few hours a day memorizing sports statistics are special types of people. His wit fits perfectly with his job, he complements sports with his humor.

Kenny Mayne is frigging hilarious with his dead pan delivery. However, I can see how some feel he makes his broadcasts more about him then the news.

I thought Keith Olberman was going to be a tough act to follow.Kenny proved me wrong.I haven't missed Keith a bit,thanks to Kenny.His commercials have been some of the most entertaining that Espn has offered.

Sports anchor on ESPN, and is very funny because of his sarcasm and spontaneity when doing highlights of games. Now he has his own game show on ESPN which is very good.

Kenny Mayne has a great sense of humor. Some may think his delivery is a little dry, but I find the guy totally amusing. He's a great contrast to all the ex-jock announcers who are often completely one dimensional, with no command of language or wit like Kenny has

He never should have been taken off the big show with Dan. Kenny is absolutely histerical. His dry, sarcastic wit is tremendous.
