Max Kellerman replacing Skip Bayless. Good news for boxing?

[Motorcity Cobra]

I know that's what's being reported but I can't see Max leaving LA to go to Bristol, Conn. He left Around the Horn in its prime because he didn't want to live in DC. I'll believe it when I see it.

Around the Horn don't pay like first take

I Listen to Max Kellerman radio show everyday, the man knows his stuff when it comes to sports IN GENERAL not just boxing but I don't think they will talk boxing more all of a sudden

Who gives a **** about Michelle Beadle not being happy that Max Kellerman is leaving that is not his Wife! Max is a East Coast guy so I'm sure moving back home will NOT be a bad thing for him at all

Around the Horn don't pay like first take

Around the Horn was second only to PTI at the time. First Take was Cold Pizza then. I'll believe it when I see it. Max loves Beverly Hills too much.

Hopefully ESPN doesn't try to make Max into a Bayless-type character

This will actually be a good thing for boxing.

We will actually have someone who know's boxing talking boxing on ESPN.
Maybe we will see more shows featuring it, instead of just when May and Pac are in the news.

Because to be honest, SAS and Skip Bayless were casual fans at best, and yes I know Skip Bayless went to Ali Vs Foreman fight "as he likes to bring up", but guess what, so did my grandma and she knows nothing about boxing today.

Your grandma is a lucky lady.

Max is going to school 10head in boxing and most other sports except basketball. No wonder he has been absent this week on his radio show with Marcellus

Too bad Jalen Rose couldn't come back. But I guess they need full on Oreo or something.

i feat that SAS will make kellerman his BBC cuck.

kellerman is too passive when a dominant african american male is talking over him or disagrees with him. have you seen how passive he gets when roy "corrects" him on something even if he is clearly wrong? max will never challenge him, he will always agree. and because of that, roy gets away with saying some ridiculous **** sometimes. he's even worse with hopkins and ward. i have seen him disagree with harold letterman numerous times though.

SAS is going to have a field day until the ratings drop and they fire kellerman.

Max respects Roy and other boxers too much to disagree with them on camera. It has nothing to do with race. Just watch and see. He will school SAS if need be.

Can't hurt Max is very knowledgeable about boxing. But I doubt max has much influence on the topics they discuss. That's on the producers.

First Take was called Cold Pizza in the early 2000's. First it was Skip and Woody Paige for a long time.
When Woody left it was a round table of people debating Skip each morning until S.A.S. came on full time a few years ago.

Stephen A Smith replaced Rob Parker in 2012 after Parker called RG3 a 'corn ball brother'.

But Rob Parker was with Skip from 2010-2012. Before that they just had a bunch of guys in to debate Skip.

Rob Parker was even worse than Stephen A. If you can imagine. But IMO no one on ESPN is worse than Jemelle Hill. How she still has a job is one of the great mysteries.
