Max and Marcellus was cool at first but now all they do is talk about Lakers and Max has gone over the top with curry better than LeBron and Ingram going to put Lakers in playoffs lol I wonder if he's practicing taking hard stances

that is a dream for us all that will NEVER happen

ever.

Bomani should have his OWN show period. but he good where he is till that day comes.

There has to be someone smart enough to make a PTI type show but with a younger more controversial and current take on stuff.
Essentially Bomani podcast, LeBatard radio show, Jalen and Jacobi, (the best parts of) His & Hers, but to be fair a LITTLE Will Cain and Ahmid El Hassan
Damn, you want everything
You want Rihanna twerking during commercial break too?
:giggle::giggle:
Just messing with you
That would be a hell of a show though

I was hoping Max was going to stay in LA. Max and Marcellus is one of the best radio shows/podcasts on ESPN. Sportsnation is cool but Max and Marcellus are a great duo together. Plus Max is on the road a lot with his other contractual obligations to HBO.

The cat Marcellus been on this week Kelvin Washington is pretty good too. But yea Max and Marcellus gets me through that traffic

Max just says shit outrageous and brings lofty expectations to laker fans. He seems to think LeBron,Durant, and lilliard want to come to LA to play lol and he was on the curry goat

Damn...
SAS is actually gonna have to watch more than just Mayweather fights if he wants to even participate in a boxing discussion from now on. It was easy debating against Bayless, cause he didn't know jack shit about boxing. Steven could say shit that was flat-out not even close to being true and Bayless would just sit back and let him make it. Not no more...

Skip Bayless Subs Include Six Women, Twitter Explodes in Sexism

Skip_Bayless_Subs_Include_Six-17e708c1da08afd430b4dcb97f5acaa8

When Skip Bayless left ESPN’s “First Take” for a gig at Fox Sports, the talk of the sports media world was who would take over his seat next to Stephen A. Smith. While no decision has been announced yet, and Smith is on vacation this week, ESPN has an all-female panel of five women filling in on the daily shoutfest.

And that (albeit temporary) move, has sparked an onslaught of sexist remarks on social media.

Comments on Twitter range from comparisons to “The View” to photos of a “First Take” hat in a trash can.

But viewers should get used to the female cast, at least for the remainder of the week.

Sarah Spain, Jen Lada, Kate Fagan, Jane McManus and Annie Apple filled in on Wednesday. Thursday’s episode features Fagan, McManus and Spain alongsite host Cary Chow. And Friday’s show will include another woman, Anita Marks, along with Ohm Youngmisuk and Freddie Coleman.

“I hope you noticed, too, there were a lot of positive comments, ESPN vice president of production Marcia Keegan told TheWrap when asked about the Twitter backlash. “Unfortunately, it’s something all women in the public eye go through.”

Keegan explained how the all-female panel came about.

“We were looking for substitutes and, you know Sarah and Kate, Anita Marks and Jane, on occasion, fill in. The names were all there and there was talk about Kate and Sarah and then I said, ‘we should add Jane and just do the trifecta,'” Keegan said. “It was very natural and organic. There was no stunt aspect to it.”

Check out some of the most egregious tweets below.

Fuck that bitch. Funny how she had a crusade against Floyd Mayweather but said nothing about Keller admitting to smacking up his wife, or Brittany Griner fighting her pregnant girlfriend, or Hope Solo beating the shit out of her family.

Selective outrage drives most "movements".

Max_Kellerman_to_Permanently_Replace-080e24a92a48d7d29273879e481840b6


Max Kellerman will permanently replace Skip Bayless as the “First Take” co-host who will debate Stephen A. Smith on a daily basis starting on July 25.

The announcement was made during Monday’s edition of the show. “Oh, it’s going down,” Kellerman said about his new gig before immediately being asked for a hot take on Kevin Durant. Kellerman’s last day as co-host of “SportsNation” will be July 15 and he will also walk away from his role on ESPN Radio’s “Max & Marcellus” on 710AM in Los Angeles.

“I’m thrilled to join the excellent team at ‘First Take,'” Kellerman said. “Years back, on-the-air and in the hallways of ESPN Radio New York, Stephen A. and I would engage in detailed and thoughtful discussions on sports and every other topic you can imagine. To do that again, now for the ‘First Take’ audience, is going to be a lot of fun.”



Kellerman was the original host of ESPN’s “Around the Horn” and has carved out a niche as one of the nation’s premier boxing commentators. He most recently co-hosted ESPN’s “SportsNation” with Michelle Beadle and Marcellus Wiley. He’s also a prominent member of HBO’s boxing coverage team.

“First Take” Smith read a pre-written message from Smith saying he is “ecstatic” to have Kellerman aboard the show.

“We’ve known one another for years. We worked at ESPN New York together and we both love our boxing. More importantly, Max is smart, quick on his feet and is never – ever – afraid to go at anyone,” Smith said. “Just the kid of partner I wanted.”


Kellerman has also had stints on MSNBC, Spike TV CNN and Fox Sports during his career. The New York native moved to Los Angeles for “SportsNation” but will relocate back to the East Coast where “First Take” is filmed at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut.

“Whether you’ve seen Max on ‘SportsNation,’ boxing coverage or heard him on radio, you know his passion and sports knowledge break through the clutter with smart opinions and lively debate. We are confident that the chemistry on the set will make for a compelling commentary with Stephen A. and Molly,” ESPN executive V.P. of production Norby Williamson said.

Last month, former ESPN employee Colin Cowherd hinted that Kellerman was close to landing the gig. During a Periscope session, Cowherd was asked about “SportsNation,” the show he used to co-host with Beadle.

“Michelle Beadle’s a friend,” Cowherd said. “Max Kellerman’s leaving that show, he’s gonna be on ‘First Take.’ Yeah, it’s a done deal. Well, pretty much.”

Beadle tweeted on Monday that she is taking the day off to celebrate the career of Tim Duncan, but Cowherd hinted that she is upset Kellerman is leaving “SportsNation” so it is safe to assume that fans will suspect she’s upset over her co-host’s departure.

Bayless left ESPN’s “First Take” to take a gig at Fox Sports. Smith promised at ESPN’s Upfront presentation in May that the show will be “even better” without his longtime co-host.

“I’m thrilled that Max will join us and am very excited for the next chapter,” moderator Molly Qerim said.

The schedule for the remainder of the week has been set, with a variety of ESPN Radio personalities filling in for Bayless and Smith, who is on vacation.

Steve Mason and John Ireland co-hosted the show on Monday, while Tom Waddle and Marc Silverman will embrace debate on Tuesday. Peter Rosenberg, Don La Greca and Rick DiPietro will appear on Wednesday with Freddie Coleman and Bomani Jones taking over on Thursday. The week will end with Jalen Rose and David Jacoby serving as guest co-hosts on Friday. Twitter exploded with sexism in June when ESPN used an all-female panel to replace Smith and Bayless.

“First Take” airs from 10 a.m. – noon ET every weekday on ESPN2.
