I thought it was funny when Bailey was finished saying he didn't think Lava Man had a shot and Mayne said something like; now back to the guy who might have something nice to say.

From Wikipedia:

ESPN hired Mayne in 1994 after Mayne had sent ESPN a note inquiring whether or not the network would hire him. The note simply asked to check a box, including one option which read, "We'll hire you when there's an ESPN5."

I really like Mayne. No, he's not a hardcore insider like Bailey, but ge's a funny guy and relates well to the everyday fan.

I've heard people totally bash Kenny Mayne but I love him...his dry humor makes me laugh every time. I did catch the starting gate thing when I watched the broadcast last night and it cracked me up.
