ESPN’s Kenny Mayne name-drops his UNLV chops in “Kenny’s QB Camp”

Kenny Mayne, in his years at ESPN, has without question established himself as the king of NFL and football satire.

This time around, we get an actual glimpse into his past, when in what seems like another life, he was a backup quarterback at UNLV in the early 1980s.
