Really? Admittedly I don't listen to this or the sports announcing BS much anymore, but what I've seen of May he's pretty good, and at least can speak well.
Which incidentally is one helluva lot more than I can say for home boy on the Dr Pepper commercial that's on right now.
May does appear to be fairly well-spoken... I just can't stand analysts that can't put their personal bias aside when giving an opinion on something. In other words, sharing his analysis of a particular game/team would be fine, if it wasn't for the fact that his personal interest in one team/conference always seeps through so obviously. Holtz does the same thing, and he doesn't even have the well-spoken thing going for him.
Holtz was, at one time, a GREAT motivational speaker, even outside of the football world... I just think he's past his prime, and ESPN could do better. He might not be a bad "guest" analyst now and then, but every week kind of loses whatever luster Holtz has, even for those who are fans of his.
