The sports world is still in complete shock after Kenny Mayne announced his departure from ESPN due to being what he called a “salary cap casualty.” The longtime SportsCenter host and media personality had been part of ESPN’s anchor team for the better part of 27 years.

I am leaving ESPN.
Salary cap casualty.
Thanks for the opportunity Vince Doria & Al Jaffe & for taking my solicitations
Herman/Stinton/Lynch.

I will miss the people.
I will miss the vending machine set up over by the old Van Pelt joint.
We had everything.
