Mark May (Blew 5 guys at Pitt)

2. Who is the most annoying on-air person (TV or radio) discussing college football?

Mandel: It used to be a dead heat between Mark May and Lou Holtz, but May has recently blown Holtz out of the water. May's whole act consists of antagonizing certain fan bases (Ohio State, Notre Dame) and then just beating that shtick to a pulp. (The kids call it "trolling.") Holtz at least delivers actual football analysis from time to time, especially after games. May is a self-perpetuating spoof playing over and over on loop.
:rofl:

Thamel: The Holtz-May dynamic isn't stale; it's fossilized. ESPN has so much quality product in college football, so many compelling games and stories, yet it still feels the need to face these two off to scream at each other. I can avoid the other contrived programming the network force-feeds viewers, but for college football fans, it's nearly impossible to avoid this tired act. I'm sure someone likes it, just like someone listens to Nickelback. I just don't personally know anyone.
Rickman: May, hands down, or any time Colin Cowherd decides he wants to talk about college football. There are plenty of other people I enjoying listening to on air, but those two give me visceral reactions I'd rather not have at any time in my day.
Deitsch: What's left to say about the hackneyed, overplayed and spectacularly insulting Holtz-May pairing? Everyone outside of ESPN's executives can see the manufactured nonsense. Still, I have great confidence that in an attempt to push the needle with attitude-infused television and the trolling of SEC fan bases, Fox Sports 1 will have someone who approaches the level of Holtz and May next year.
