Kenny Mayne's Mayne Street

My favorite ESPN personality of all time, Kenny Mayne, is spearheading an awesome new endeavor: a bunch of Webisodes under the handle "Mayne Street". The bits cast Mayne as a bumbling sports reporter thrust into wacky situations and hilarity ensues.

All kidding aside, Mayne's got a teriffic sense of humor and it shows in the first episode. Interestingly, the inaugural bit pairs Mayne with Scott Van Pelt, who would rank in the top five of semi-celebrities I think I'd love to hang out with. The list would also include Shelly Duncan, McGuffy the running back from Michigan, Joe C (RIP), and John the Baptist.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kenny at the ESPN Zone in Times Square once, and he was gracious and cool and took a photo that I need to find and post here. I actually saw Van Pelt outside Yankee Stadium before the All Star Game, but it was crowded and I didn't want to make a big deal and draw attention.

ESPN.com will post new Webisodes every Tuesday and Friday, so be sure to check them out (link).
