If Jalen is gonna reunite with Bill Simmons and Jacoby at the Ringer, Max needs to reunite with Marcellus ~~at FS1~~

Mark gotta be holding someone’s kid hostage lol

Not surprising. Writing was kinda on the wall with KJM cancelled and McAfee expected to take over Kellerman’s 2pm timeslot. Max is good in the right setting, especially when it comes to boxing but at his salary not worth keeping him just for boxing. Keyshawn is forgettable and won’t be missed.

Can’t believe all of this just to keep Perkins and Jackson 😂
STA_Alexfree
Bro, please fire Mark Jackson
fatdaddyray
Never forget when Max Kellerman farted live on air and tried to play it off
Jordanwolf98
Seems nobody is safe except Stephen A and Pat McAfee

Taking Max off First Take and putting him in that show with Keyshawn and Jay Williams was the death blow to his career at ESPN. Nobody watches that shit.
Balls_of_Adamanthium
Keyshawn ruined KJM. I honestly think it would’ve been watchable with just Jay Williams and Max.

One shot. Fate of the Universe. I want Andre Igoudala.
End of an era

All these legacy guys who have been fired will see it as a blessing in disguise before long

I noticed a rise in layoffs on tv commentators. The shift is so apparent, people dont watch television as much as before compared to streaming, and reading snippets or articles. Live Broadcasting need to find some way to revamp themselves or there is a real chance that the television scope as we know it start to change. I wonder how Good Morning America and the like prime morning/evening/night segments are doing in viewership and approval?

The most frustrating thing to be about KJM was it felt like Keyshawn was never in the studio, it was always Max/Jay and or a guest talking to him via Zoom
dkdoki
These ppl getting fired bc they make too much money. Cheap hires like jackson and perk will probably stay on unfortunately
ForceMaster999
How tf they fire Jeff Van Gundy instead of Mark Jackson
HEATLE
As soon as Max stopped appearing on First Take you knew it was coming.
desirox
Now these really won’t be missed. Max was ok on first take but once he was kicked off that his days were numbered. Keyshawn didn’t add an ounce of value
killbejay
I rather see Jay gone

espn mornings on radio hit a shitshow since greeny kicked golic out. now both key and max gone.

Max and Marcellus comeback on day way

Keyshawn was trash

ESPN and the Supreme Court are battling it out for the Friday before a holiday weekend news dump heavyweight championship.

Max was at his peak when he was paired with Marcellus Wiley. They just had a good back and forth vibe that worked. Keyshawn was good when paired with Mason and Ireland as a third guy, but yeah. They had a lot of on air talent in an era of podcasts and streaming.

I hope Max goes back to boxing commentating.
hansislegend
God damn. It’s gonna be Stephen A yelling for 18 hours a day.
racoonXjesus
But yet Stephen A Smith remains the wonder boy

Sometimes Max is off with his takes, but I think he’s a really good host and moves a conversation forward as well as anybody else at ESPN.

ESPN is tanking for the no. 1 pick

Max is like the best part of espn. Tf are they doing?

#This is the equivalent of when WWE releases their talent during spring cleaning. Where’s the megathread?
BilliamBurrington
Somehow Mark Jackson, Doris, and Kendrick Perkins still have jobs.
You’d think they’d be first to go.
BeemerBaby004
Why all the layoffs?
ESPN just finding out that no one wants to watch competitive pickleball?
TheMainShy
Some of these guys should just go the YouTube, Spotify, or podcast route. Maybe even join FAST (free ads sponsored TV) apps/stations like Pluto, Tubi, or niche channels like Sports News Headlines on the side to bolster their content. Most consumers are cord cutters these days anyway.

They both agreed this week that Justin Jefferson isn’t a top 5 WR in the NFL, so this news isn’t surprising

ESPN better start saving for that Draymond Green haircare budget!

First Take was so much better with Max.
Can’t believe SAS’s ego got in the way of a good thing.
