Leaving ESPN After 27 Years
It's the end of an era ... Kenny Mayne announced he's leaving ESPN after an epic 27 year run.
"I am leaving ESPN," Mayne tweeted Monday ... "Salary cap casualty."
61-year-old Mayne -- who started at ESPN in 1994 -- thanked former ESPN execs Vince Doria and Al Jaffe for helping him get hired back in the day ... and also praised the current staff.
"I will miss the people. I will miss the vending machine set up over by the old [Scott Van Pelt] joint. We had everything. IntoTheGreatWideOpen#."
Kenny is one of the most popular ESPN personalities ever -- both as an anchor of SportsCenter and as a feature reporter.
