Who is Kenny Mayne?
Kenny Mayne is a sports media personality, writer, and storyteller best known for his long-running run as a SportsCenter anchor at ESPN. He currently co-hosts the golf podcast "We Need a Fourth" with Cooper Manning and Brian Baumgartner. Mayne is widely recognized for his dry humor, sharp observation, and ability to make almost anything funnier than it has any right to be.
How did love, kenny come to be?
The idea started ten years ago, when Kenny was making a last-minute birthday card for his 1-year-old niece and figured the genre could probably try a little harder.
"I've been chasing this idea long enough that my niece is now old enough to critique it," Kenny said. "I've always believed greeting cards should either make you laugh, cry, or question why you opened them in front of other people."
A decade later, he found the right partner in Lovepop and the collection came to life.
What cards are included in love, kenny?
The collection spans the categories you'd expect, with a few you didn't know you needed. A few highlights:
- "I'm your favorite, right?" (Father's Day)
