Whatever happened to Max Kellerman?

Swan · 02-23-2004, 05:43 PM

He was the best part of "Around the Horn." Does ESPN dropping it's boxing coverage have anything to do with Max's non-showing?

Mike D · 02-23-2004, 05:50 PM

Kellerman's contract was up, he signed with Fox Sports Net, and will produce a half-hour show for them in the future. Give me a few minutes, I'll get you a link.

About half-way down is a thing called moving on.

FOFC has a long thread on it I think- ESPN was cutting boxing, he wasn't happy, yada yada...

Swan · 02-23-2004, 06:03 PM

thanks Mike!

Aadik, what's 'FOFC'?

Crapshoot · 02-23-2004, 06:06 PM

www.sportplanet.com/fof

go to the board.. its another big board, primarily for FOF (The game), but there's plenty of other discussion over there.

There was a good part to Around the Horn?

Well, the good news is I'm glad ESPN is dropping their boxing coverage.

Jordan · 02-23-2004, 06:16 PM

who hosts Around The Horn now?

LivnLegend · 02-23-2004, 06:16 PM

I agree with twins15. Max was a yelling buffoon. They fired TJ Simers, who was the most sensible part of that retched program.

Mike D · 02-23-2004, 06:27 PM

Stat boy from PTI I believe

The new host is the guy who was "stat boy" on PTI. I have no idea of his name though.

Draft Dodger · 02-23-2004, 07:04 PM

Tony Reali.

he's actually pretty good, and getting better as he stops imitating Kellerman.

Jay Mariotti, however, is still bad enough to make the show suck.

Swan · 02-23-2004, 07:07 PM

ATH is one of the very few sports shows my wife will watch with me, which she does because she thinks Woody Page is pretty funny.

PittPanther · 02-23-2004, 07:10 PM

Good Riddance.

CardinalMan · 02-23-2004, 08:01 PM

I think the shows gotten better but Paige and Marriotti annoy the crap out of me...

Teddyballgame · 02-23-2004, 08:22 PM

The worst is the fool from the L.A. Times, Bill Plaschke, what a frigging moron.

LiftTheCurse · 02-23-2004, 08:35 PM

I think Woody Paige is the best part of Around the Horn. He is always getting Muted and picked on. Its really funny.

BTW i like Tony Reali over Max Kellerman

Boozie1580 · 02-23-2004, 11:33 PM

Yeah, Reali's pretty good. He just needs to get his own style and some lines that didn't come from Max. But Woody Paige is what makes the show happen. And you have to admit it's fun to hate Mariotti. Holley knows what he's talking about too.

Rizon · 07-05-2004, 05:40 PM

I liked Max long ago, when he went by "Jim Rome".

magnet · 07-05-2004, 06:00 PM

max's new show on FSN is called I,Max. i've seen a few commercials for it (only reason i ever watch fsn is for twins games.)

P.S. In fact, it is on tonight at 6 pm CT on fsn. an hour before the twins game :]
