Royale with Cheese Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 And yet, the girl who went to my high school that I used to be friends with was promoted to the 6:00 pm show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Months later, he’s fired You are correct on all that. And with that, I can see why you'd say he hosed him. It's not inaccurate for the right now. I just think that, bigger picture, it went just fine. Regardless of how it ended. 2 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: And yet, the girl who went to my high school that I used to be friends with was promoted to the 6:00 pm show.

Greeny comes across as a whiny little kid. ESPN has been awful for awhile, and is finding wys to become worse by the day. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN has been awful for awhile, and is finding wys to become worse by the day. Mike & Mike was part of my daily routine. I enjoyed the combo and the contrast. Greenie took a long sabbatical when they separated. That’s been a while, and I doubt I’ve seen/heard one hour of him since. ESPN misplayed this in every way possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they forget how they add value to the marketplace? What was the voice of the customer and did they listen? Did they overpay for content and talent? Sad to see but the reality of the marketplace. ...the internet being in everyone's pocket? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I definately don't like to gloat when someone gets fired from a job. So I won't celebrate this. But I couldn't stand Mayne. One of my least favorite on air "personalities". It hasn't been so bad the past couple years, as he seems to have less airtime then in the past--or maybe I'm just lucky that I miss the programs he is on. Either way, less Kenny Mayne is preferable to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing he runs out a successful podcast where creative thought is appreciated. See Will Cain and Clay Travis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like he was insulting my intelligence just about every time he opened his mouth. I know some others who feel similarly.

Gugny Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Doc said: Greenie got promoted while Golic stayed where he was and was pissed that Greenie never let-on about what was happening. Once Greenie left, I think the morning show ratings fell so Golic left/retired and they put in another crew. My take on it was that Golic and Wingo were canned and Golic Jr., and Fitz were reassigned. ESPN clearly went in another direction with KJZ. Sign of the times. But I like KJZ. I do miss Golic. Wingo was meh, at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really clueless when it comes to every sport that isn’t the NFL. Jwill carries 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard anyone with this take before. Kenny was always one of the sharpest, wittiest anchors on the network. But to each his own. Wondering how/why you felt “insulted” by a broadcaster’s sarcastic humor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
