Not that I wish people Ill will, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving putz, and would be great if true
Everybody who feels bad for Mark May, go stand in the phone booth at the corner of Forbes and Atwood. You should all fit in there comfortably.
He was fired yesterday, it just took him an extra day longer than everyone else to figure it out.
Never understood why they would hire such a liability to begin with. The guy is a raging drunk. Terrible role model.

Rumor has it he went berserk and started jumping on cars in the Bristol parking lot?
I hate to see anyone lose their job so I will take the high road and wish him luck.
Excuse me while I go to the refrigerator and get an onion. I have to make myself cry.
Have you ever listened to Marky May? I have. F' him.
Does Pitt have a radio announcing team so that the 4 fans can listen on the drive in to their shifts at McDonalds? Maybe that's a resting place for him.
Yeah, I think he is a douche and don't agree with 99 percent of what comes out of his mouth.
I have also been laid off for no cause and understand how difficult that can be. As an American I don't like to see it, regardless of whether I like the person.
With all due respect, he should have at least $10,000,000 stashed away from his playing days and his ESPN days. He s/b fine.....if he isn't, he should look in the mirror as to who to blame.
As someone who thinks Mark May was a sub par player and an infinitely worse broadcaster, I would debate that figure.
Regardless, losing your job because your company sucks is never something to celebrate IMO.
I respect anyone who works a job for a living, irrespective of whether I agree with them philosophically or not.
I hate the company and mark may. I think a lot of us do. Eff all of them. Mark may should have lost his job either way. He sucks at what he does. If you want to shed a tear for him cause you got fired years ago, have at it.
Well he was an outstanding college player and a very good NFL player.....an All-American in college and started approx 150 professional games. So I'm glad you're not my talent scout.
As far as your opinion of him as a broadcaster, I'm in complete agreement. IMHO he should have been let go years ago.
It was people like May who made the company suck. He was bad at what he did, it's that simple.
Mark May isn't going to struggle to make his mortgage payments. Guy has a 7 figure net worth unless he has "habits" of some sort that impact his wallet. Sorry, not comparable with blue/white collar layoffs of everyday shmucks like us. Thus- no pity.
He was a vindictive and biased individual, who took every opportunity he could to make Penn State look bad. He had a big, loud, pulpit, and he never failed to use it. I have zero pity for him losing his job.
Well said, Lurker. Though they are not my favorite team, I have always liked the Washington Redskins, and I had great respect for the "Hogs" of which May was one. So, it's not like I never appreciated and liked the guy.
ESPN, in the early part of this century, started transitioning to wise-guy, snarky commentators. Stuart Scott--rest his soul--was one of them. Yet, when he passed, it was made out to be that a heroic figure had left us. That "style" was now the ESPN "style."
So, you have these personalities who want to be noticed. Mark May was one of them. Getting rid of him was treating a symptom. The disease continues.
A lot of those assholes said joe should have been fired then rejoiced when he was.
Why should we shed a tear for any of these clowns?
