Mark May Out On ESPN College Gameday Final
- Thread starter Alasippi
- Start date
I have religiously watched Gameday Final for years, but I'll never watch it again with Kanell on the show. We would all make fun of Holtz and his love for ND but, Kanell is worse when it comes to FSU. His unrelenting support for Winston was disgusting and creepy. What a pathetic pairing, great job ESPN.
Hate to say it, but won`t be watching most probably. I don`t watch television to have my BP elevate. I have to admit, though, that it might just be fun to watch IF we have an absolutely stellar season just to watch Kanell and Galloway squirm.
That's why he is gone. ESPN is in the controversy business and Mark May doesn't fit into their mold. He was one of the few good ones left.
I loved watching this show every Saturday night/Sunday morning almost as much as I love watching Alabama Football. Bad decision by espn. Kanell is tolerable but galoway is a pure ohio homer. Anyone who cannot leave thier biases at the door does not need to be on tv. Will not be watching.
Bad decision by someone. We'll see how the ratings reflect the change.
I personally cannot think of two worse choices.

the sad thing is some people will still watch and post videos on here of what these two idiots say.
The problem with this move is that they have two people that attempt to play tv villians but are horrible at it. They think loud and obnoxious while stating every common objective view point makes a good villian, but fail to understand originality is the key to playing that point of view. I know these arent people's favorite people but its hard to argue that Finebaum, Cowherd, and Bayless dont bring more originality to their persona than Kannell and Galloway.

I have to agree with everyone on this board. Can't watch because of the two but also just wondering does the rest of the Country but the SEC hate Mark May?

this might help. Mark May equalalizes the show with his opinions. Most West Coast and Big 10 Country fans think he is biased towards the SEC.
And that crowd is much greater than the pro SEC crowd. The rest of the country calls them ESecPN. This will change that.

Yeah, busted. I know I conflated his name with David Greene, who was the QB at the same time Pollack was at UGA. I think he and Greene were rommates IIRC.
But yeah I messed up.
The Rece, Holtz, May combo made the show a must watch for me every week. Kanell is unwatchable and Galloway a cliche factory. Yall remind me to miss this show now.

Yeah, and they will complain all year about what Kannell and Galloway say. I would guess 90% of those who have said they won't watch that show will and complain all day on here Sunday.
my worst nightmare, kanell and Galloway on same espn college football show. they are the most biased, egotistical sports analysts on the planet. why is espn creating such a void between sec network and their show? well, this football fan and sec supporter will not tune to listen to their garbage.
I think they are trying to cater to those fans of other conferences that feel "jilted" because of the SEC Network. Put some anti-SEC numbskulls on your prime post-game show and all of a sudden those "other fans" are talking about how awesome the show is and how they "put the SEC in their place." At least I think that's ESPN's logic in this whole thing. But it seems like there are a lot of fans for a lot of teams that don't like these two knuckleheads, so we'll see how that works out.
On the flip side, I was surprised at how a lot of people were GLAD that May is gone, especially Ohio State fans. I don't get it. Even when May got into his theatrical spats with Holtz, he was STILL one of the most level-headed and unbiased opinions on their network. I guess level-headed and unbiased opinions are no longer what ESPN wants, and therein lies the problem...
ESPN is in sharp decline. There are other sports media outlets who do it better now. Why else do you think ESPN gave the Arthur Ashe "Courage" Award to Michael Sam last year and is giving it to Bruce Jenner this year over people who have faced true adversity? It isn't about substance anymore in Bristol.
Yes, it`s resoundingly obvious what ESPN is trying to do. Though they would no doubt deny it vehemently, how could anybody with half a brain come to any other conclusion? They weren`t even the least bit subtle about it.
