The long-time ESPN host, who was with the company for 27 years because a legendary letter led ESPN executives to engage him in 1994, went out in style with a fittingly fun"SportsCenter" sign-off that featured a lot of guests.
Each meeting had enjoyable soundbites but also saw poignant moments from the athletes being interviewed.
As well as talking his connection with the Packers, Rodgers talked about being a fan of Mayne -- until Mayne blasted Rodgers for getting him into the cryptocurrency market.
As great as the end of the Rodgers interview was, Mayne getting Lynch to discuss what he'd do if he encountered aliens was a top-tier moment as well.
And each of the athletes took some time to explain what Mayne meant to them. Lynch's moment might have been the most tear-jerking of all when he thanked Mayne for"helping people understand that I had been an all right individual."
As expected, Mayne's final sign-off from"SportsCenter" was an excellent one too.
We will soon see what will come for Mayne, but obviously he appreciated his period in ESPN and chose to thank everyone in a tweet after his final series.
