ESPN’s Mark May hates a lot of things: Ohio State. Boise State. Danica Patrick. The bosses of the NBA and NHL. Mark is a one-man media empire built on hating things, and that empire is not collapsing any time soon.
Mark May explains the exhilaration of touching powerful dolphins to Mack Brown
Turns out Mark likes touching powerful, mature things. If that’s the case, why does he hate the Big Ten?
During Thursday’s Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, where May and Mack Brown are sharing a broadcasting booth, we finally learned about something that Mark May loves: Touching powerful, mature dolphins.

“I’ve [swam with dolphins] before. That’s exhilarating. You want to feel them because they’re so powerful, and they’re so mature, they go by and you’re like ‘Wait, should I touch this or not?’”
Mack Brown, who hates nothing and loves everything, responded, “Well, that’s why you love bowls.”
The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl has given us Christmas Eve tropical football and warmed the cold, cold heart of Mark May. It remains America’s greatest bowl game.
