Max is not a compelling Radio Personality
He is a great boxing analyst and well versed/opinated in other sports but he doesnt have charamsic/appeal to stand on his own imo
imo his best fit was as the host of around the horn back in the day
since then outside of boxing its been a game of musical chairs
You ain't say one lie
But max show flopped on ESPN ny radio recently
He is good though.. trust.
Like anything if the NETWORK supports you? You gonna win more likely then not.
They RARELY post any of Max takes
Which is just bad business and a fireable offense
They should be posting taking from ALL THE SHOWS EVERY DAY.
On the app and social media.
It's poor leadership they HAVE the content talent and resources
Max needs the right producer and format.
And him and Key in the morning should work fine.
That kjz mix was a train wreck from the drawing board
*respect to zubin, he has really bad diabetes and the stress of the show not working was tough
That mix ain't right. They had the right ingredients but fumbled AGAIN.
Hope it works out with the new format.
Both?
I think it's very messy..
First once Skipper had to bounce for going full Tony Montana with the coke and pills
They did not know what to do.
Football controls the network
College and pro period
They launched the app
Trump and Colin
So politics and racists teams and fans became an issue
Mo money mo problems...
Then the lay offs
Not knowing what to do with the espn personalities
Athletes now able to control their own content
Now we here...
They can't figure out what to do with sportscenter. At One time the mothership.
They completely f*cked up the mike & mike transition
Completely underestimating the importance of that morning slot to damn near everything they do...
Fumbled get up very badly but recovered well during the pandemic
But morning radio is VERY IMPORTANT
They gave greeny and max their own shows to middling results
And kjz was a bad idea from day one.
It was SUPPOSED to have been Key and Max like in LA.
So it seems we going back to that.
As lucrative as Stephen A contract is? It's messed up cause he a slave. He basically on 24 hour call...
Yeah it's great exposure and he is kinda the face of the network and gets to be on Disney stuff...
But Greeny gets the same money for much much less work.
And SAS act is getting tired ain't nobody watching his solo show
He just repeating the same things
They always said they were going to raise Max profile... and they gave him a lil show on plus and a radio show... yeah ok.
But they gotta save morning radio and actually think in THAT slot he would be good because it's radio, TV show, Podcast in one morning radio show
Out of SAS shadow.
I think what they should do is add a revolving door of co hosts on First take moving forward. Train Molly up to be a stronger voice.
It's still Stephen A show and he can debate a revolving door of guests and have the espn regulars and guests come to debate not just for a segment but a whole show.
Much like now but more structured.
Bomani needs his own show on TV too.
They need work on ALL their podcasts more and create some new ones.
They need REAL shows on the app, podcasts and TV
I got the answers
but I ain't giving up my ideas.
He was good on LA radio
Him and Marcelus (pre coon) were really good together. Espn choose to blow that up. Max gives really thought out takes and that doesn’t work for “hot take”. I think Steven has wanted Max gone every since TO said that people see Max as more of a “brother” than SAS. That hurt his pride.
Max & Marcellus was by far my favorite show. Four hours of radio of two dudes just talking. Such an easy listen. I was mad when Max left. Max used to give Stephen A. that work. I think Max will do better in the show with Keyshawn & Jay Will instead of the hot take format of First Take.

If thats where he's going...Jay Will will only get like 2 or 3 words in a show...Key and Max will be talking over him the whole time and..Jay Will already soft spoken anyway..
I couldn't do it.Anybody watch First Take today? I'll check it out later. I'm sure Stephen A. & Michael Irvin were very calm and professional on their first show together
Yup
I have no idea besides contracts why they kept Jay Will on there
I think Jay Will is good on basketball analysis or even on something like a podcast, but you have to be fast spoken and loud..thats not Jay Will
Anybody watch First Take today? I'll check it out later. I'm sure Stephen A. & Michael Irvin were very calm and professional on their first show together
He basically said yeah he wanted Max out..
LOL. It's not Keyshawn, Jay & Max. It's The Max Kellerman show featuring Keyshawn & Jay. Max took over with the quickness but the other two are former players so Max should lead. I'll take this over First Take with Stephen A. any day.
^^^^
And he getting his own show...
Plus his boxing show
And rumors of a podcast.
Stephen A better be careful
He may have messed around and created his own monster on some comic book sh*t
Max been my guy since the Around the Horn days. Plus he got bars!!!!!!!!!!
Full song. His brother was NICE.
