Sports Personality Kenny Mayne on ESPN, Vacation, Golf and More

If you’re a fan of sports, chances are you’re a follower of sports-caster Kenny Mayne. The former ESPN “Sports Center” (and KOMO) anchor is known for his dry sense of humor and his many years delivering the day’s highlights. For those who follow Mayne on Twitter (he boasts well over 350,000 followers), his appreciation for good news or acts of bravery or human courage are often at the ‘fore. For example, Mayne founded Run Freely, which has helped raise money for veterans in need of prosthetic limbs.

Today, though, Mayne is set for a new life adventure. He left ESPN earlier this year after 27 years with the company, and what lies ahead for the former college quarterback-turned-sports (and “Wilder World of Sports”) anchor is still unknown — well, there is this Olympics show he’ll be hosting this summer. We caught up with Mayne, who is originally from Kent, to ask him about his plans, appreciation for golf, travel tips and much more.
