"Stephen A Smith needs Max Kellerman like Kyrie needed LeBron James!": ESPN's First Take's ratings experience a disastrous drop after the sour departure of its former co-host
ESPN’s First Take reports a massive drop in ratings after Stephen A Smith had Max Kellerman taken off the show
Good Morning @playahaitian"Stephen A Smith needs Max Kellerman like Kyrie needed LeBron James!": ESPN's First Take's ratings experience a disastrous drop after the sour departure of its former co-host
ESPN’s First Take reports a massive drop in ratings after Stephen A Smith had Max Kellerman taken off the showthesportsrush.com
I'm glad the ratings are dropping. I saw him on one of the New York radio programs trashing Max, and talking about what Max wasn't bringing to the table.
^^^^
It was embarrassing and completely unnecessary
And what made it worse?
He got exposed
His whole act for years got exposed and showed kd lebron Westbrook and them were right about him being a snake
He was a coward when he called into max final show and was not there live (surgery whatever which i actually defended)
But then he went on a f*ck max media tour
And then had to IMMEDIATELY give another explanation live on the show to basically apologize for that
But his ego his persona refused to at least act like a human being for the camera
Did not help that max acted like a mensch thought out - smartly
And by the way Max is killing the morning show no surprise
First take DID NEED A BOOST.
And could have survived the transition and it should
But he stained the show and his reputation by doing this.
SAS WAS SO HUNGRY FOR THE CREDIT
He sacrificed a very very valuable asset
The audience LIKING YOU.
Yeah he doesn't come off as likeable, he never has tho.. Lol I don't know about the different guess daily, maybe they should get another permanent co-host. Skip knew there was something there with Shannon because a lot of people don't like Skip either but having Shannon there helps.
It's funny because all Stephen A was talking about is how the ratings have been with him and now after Max leaves the ratings drop.. Lol. Somebody like Nick Wright could boost those ratings because people love and hate him.. Lol.
What I mean is Skip is hateable
embraces it and has millions with that character
Maher has transitioned with each administration to always piss off the other side or the side/group he thinks will give him the best buzz
SAS was never HATED like skip
he was frustrating as f*ck and that WAS his "likable" persona
even with the regularly scheduling cooning and hot takes etc etc
he was a CHARACTER still and always found his way back to the right place eventually
But what he did when he was so THIRSTY for the spotlight
especially after hosting Kimmel (to crickets by the way)
He wanted MORE... and got Pyrrhic victory by moving max
We will see how this works out
Is STILL early and I had suggested the rotating guests thing a LONG time ago
but they aint do it like I TOLD them too.
And it seems all the outside guests they were EXPECTING to participate
did NOT like the Max ousting
and are waiting patiently to see how this all pans out BEFORE they join in
I got the fix but they getting that for free.

Bomani Jones reportedly expected to leave ESPN when contract expires in March
According to the New York Post, Bomani Jones's time at ESPN could reach an end when his contract expires in March.

UPDATE: Bomani Jones reportedly expected to leave ESPN when contract expires in March (joining HBO w/ new show; staying at ESPN)
I’ve felt that it was time for him to part ways with ESPN for years in order to allow himself more creativjournalistic freedom, and furthermore, they need him WAY more than he needs them at this point. That brand ain’t what it was and he can do all the stuff he does best from a media standpoint...

Playing devil's advocate for a second.
Do we REALLY know SAS wanted MAX out?? He went to different media outlets and said what he said, but do we REALLY think SAS has that much pull at ESPN?
MAX has his own show now and maybe ESPN created this fiasco to make it seem like SAS wanted MAX out to create another show or tv format....
Just food for thought because while I fucks with SAS (yes I am a WSSU alumni and what he does for the school/HBCU's supersedes the BS he says on TV even thought I know he is in character and that's not the real him 100% of the time), I still don't believe he has that much PULL to say I don't want this dude on my show....

I can't see even doing devil advocate here bro but OK lets try.
SAS SAID it right?
Numerous times.
Voluntarily loudly unprovoked PUBLICLY
so even taking the devil advocate side?
So either he is a LIAR or foul?
Which is it?
SAS CHOSE to be portrayed as foul? Why?
So OK worse... if its NOT true?
He holding ESPN bosses water?
For what?
Max got 2 new jobs and potentially an opportunity to re up.
Why KICK Max out the door ans post a vid on worldstar of you doing it?
Only to have it blow up in his face?
and help Max look even better?
sidebar... As frustrating as Stephen is? And he IS.
When he do right? He DOES RIGHT and nobody can take that away from him. He BEEN representing for his school and other historical black colleges for YEARS.
You gotta respect that.
He has to be careful though. the money is NICE and all but the questionable stuff he does inside and out of character can seriously undermine all the positive he does and is trying to do.
All I am saying people will do whatever to get a check....Just looking at it from a different perspective and viewpoint....
