[mreddie]

Is he still on Sportsnation?

 

[ThisOne]

Probably the douchiest personality on espn.

 

[see5harp]

No matter how big of a douche, he's not Skip Bayless and that's something.

 

[Officerrob]

He's an upgrade from Bayless

 

[Rune of Destiny]

Gonna be hard to replace the chemistry that Skip and Stephen A had.

 

[MontyMarx]

He should do more guest spots on Around the Horn ...

 

[therealist]

Looking forward to it. Always enjoyed Kellerman back from his OG days as the host of Around The Horn. I even watched that terrible I, MAX show he had briefly on FSN.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He's going to have to dumb himself down big time to make "debates" with Stephen A look legitimate.

 

[vikki]

Probably better for him than Sportsnation, but I won't be watching.

 

[Cels]

what makes him a douche?

i just know him as the guy that does boxing sometimes

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Gonna be hard to replace the chemistry that Skip and Stephen A had.

That amazing chemistry of them both saying the dumbest things and not knowing anything.

 

[Sephzilla]

......I'm surprisingly okay with this

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Bodies drop from body shots, cause i could box no need for glocks or karate chops.


Upgrade from Skip

 

[Rune of Destiny]

That amazing chemistry of them both saying the dumbest things and not knowing anything.

...and still making it entertaining as hell. Skip and Stephen A were an amazing combo. Probably the best in the business alongside Tony and Wilbon.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

But Max and Marcellus, tho...

 

[Vanillalite]

Should have been

Just for the lulz

 

[Nastrodamous]

But Max and Marcellus, tho...

is the show gone? also i like Max he isny "hot take" guy

 

[Brinbe]

BILLION PERCENT IMPROVEMENT

Max is absolutely amazing. I'd legit watch to see him smack down Stephen A every morning.

 

[Amagon]

How is Max a douche? Out of all my years, watching boxing with him commentating and interviewing, this thought has never occurred?

Fuck is wrong with you people?

 

[onepiecefan]

Douche? I've always found Kellerman to be one of the most interesting and knowledgeable 'boxing voices' around.

 

[Calion]

Max isnt a douche in the slightest. Should have added Stugotz though. He's the master of the Hot Take TM

 

[studyguy]

Max Kellerman's the shit.
His interviews are always on point and the dude doesn't shy away from what needs to be asked.

 

[Concrete Charlie]

I'm okay with this for now. I wonder if he shaved for his interview.

 

[Vanillalite]

Max isnt a douche in the slightest. Should have added Stugotz though. He's the master of the Hot Take TM

#HotTakeMaster

 

[Judderman]

ESPN 1050 10AM-Noon vs ESPN 1050 Noon-2PM

 

[daemissary]

Max isn't a douche, he's just one of the few ESPN personalities who is actually smart and that rubs some people who just want to hear HOT TAKEZ the wrong way.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

is the show gone? also i like Max he isny "hot take" guy

Pretty sure Max moving to Bristol effectively ends M&M and that sucks. My favorite ESPN show behind The Right Time.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Kellerman should be awesome with Boxing takes. If first take goes from mostly NBA talk to boxing takes I would be okay with that.

 

[Sch1sm]

Glad Skip's gone, with his bias and salt. Dude's unbearable to me on every platform.

 

[Fjordson]

Sort of a waste of Kellerman if First Take is continuing as it's been. Just a bunch of dumb yelling and hot takes for ratings.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Max is that dude.

 

[Furyous]

I wanted Stugotz. Stugotz brings the fuegoest of fire takes to First Take. He easily replaces Skip and keeps the ratings high. Max is too objective and lacks the agendas necessary to keep the show afloat.

 

[Zackat]

Should've been stugotz for the piping hot takes. And to save poor Dan from him.

 

[see5harp]

...and still making it entertaining as hell. Skip and Stephen A were an amazing combo. Probably the best in the business alongside Tony and Wilbon.

Nope and nope. Jalen and Jacoby is better than either of them.

 

[CountAntonius]

Max is great.

 

[Mollymauk]

SkRIP in peace

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Nope and nope. Jalen and Jacoby is better than either of them.

Jalen is almost as bad as SAS and Skip.

 

[donjezzy]

But Max and Marcellus, tho...

I know. Imma miss him out here in LA

 

[Gutss]

Ohh! This two will get along very well, two fucking mayweather fan boys...

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Improvement.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Lol, I was mixing up Kellerman for Tony Reali. Good choice, I guess. Still can't stand the show.

 

[entremet]

Such a huge upgrade from Bayless.

Skip ran out of hot takes after LBJ won in Cleveland.

 

[chuckddd]

Lol, I was mixing up Kellerman for Tony Reali. Good choice, I guess. Still can't stand the show.

RIP StatBoy

 

[enanogrande]

Damn. I haven't seen much of Kellerman since he left Around the Horn a billion years ago, but I loved him back then. I hope he doest have to dumb himself down into "hot take man" to fit the role at First Take, that would be a waste I think.

 

[ShowDog]

I guess he can stop pretending to be a Laker fan now.

 

[BadAss2961]

How is Max a douche? Out of all my years, watching boxing with him commentating and interviewing, this thought has never occurred?

Fuck is wrong with you people?

Different on ESPN I guess?

Kellerman is awesome on boxing.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I know. Imma miss him out here in LA

I don't even live in LA anymore but I import all my radio from ESPN LA. I seriously can't listen to the wonks out here in Seattle that talk Seahawks and Mariners. Ugh.

Maybe they will promote Kelvin Washington (he has great chemistry with Marcellus). It can't be one of the Kaminskis or Jeff Katz...please gawd, no.

 

[CountAntonius]

Fuck he's leaving max and Marcellus? This is devastating news. =(

 

[Mortemis]

Max is aight, but they shouldn't have split him from Marcellus for this.

Can't say I'm not excited to see him in this show though. Will he be able to keep his cool or will he go off and start doing shitty hot takes with Stephen A making him lose his mind.
