Kenny Mayne's View
http://www.mcall.com/sports/columnis...istssport-misc
Will there be outrage for the next few days over the backhanded comment Kenny Mayne made about NASCAR fans on Sunday night's edition of SportsCenter?

Nope
Not until Mayne comments on the % of Latino jockeys in racing.

I think ESPN is giving Kenny just enough rope to eventually hang himself.

Soap on a rope rope is enough for him.

All subjective and since television many are incredibly thinned skin with the spoken word.
To me Kenny is the best thing to happen to racing / media in many years.

Ken, being pretty rough on Kenny. 
I liked him when he first started,but his schtick is getting old.He tends too sound like an old drunk who is having personal conversations slurring with his alter ego at times.If he's ever on a live broadcast without editing eventually his loose lip will sink his ship.(IMHO)

Positive
I liked his insurance commercials. And some of his quotes are memorable. Usually his sarcasm about a runner 5 minutes prior to its win!!

Gentlemen no disrespect for your opinions.The original statement was so powerful it caught me off guard!
The best thing to happen to horseracing in many years = Kenny Mayne.
Horseracing is on the brink of becoming extinct.
WOW=WOW

Don’t change the quote now my good friend…
Racing / "Media"…
Our 'media is a pretty short list and yes, Kenny is a breath of fresh air IMO. If you ever hear him at the eclipse awards, he entertains both the player and those in the industry.

Mayne's Malfunction
 I'll take Heywood Hale Broun anytime for a laugh, with his plaid jacket and pipe.
