Max Kellerman Leaves ESPN

[Fallon]

I've known about this for a couple of weeks, but couldn't share the info.

"Max Kellerman and ESPN have parted ways. ESPN vice president Mike Soltys said the cable network notified the agent of the former Around the Horn host and boxing analyst, whose contract expired, that it will not match an offer from another network. Kellerman, who sought an increase to about $850,000 annually, might wind up at Fox Sports Net in a multifaceted deal that could include the entertainment industry." <b>USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/martzke/2004-02-10-martzke_x.htm)</b>

It was pretty obvious he was outta there when he stopped hosting Around The Horn. Personally I think it would have been better if they just dropped Woody Paige instead.

Man..I'll miss Kellerman....

The guy was a Yankees fan, but he was a freakin' GENIUS..i mean what didn't the guy know about? And he had the charisma to back it up...something stat boy really lacks..

In related news, Mr. Tony [Kornheiser] of PTI is quitting his radio show at the end of march, he'll stay on PTI and do the Post, he said three jobs were too many to have at his age...

<b>MAX KELLERMAN BRINGS HIS DYNAMIC POINT OF VIEW TO FOX SPORTS NET</b>
<i>Thursday, Feb. 19, 2004</i>

Max Kellerman, the opinionated, Emmy-nominated broadcaster and boxing analyst is bringing his talents to Fox Sports Net.

Critics have hailed Kellerman as "a veritable voice of reason," "young, brash, outspoken" and "irrepressible." He will bring all of those traits to his new job as host of a daily 30-minute talk and interview show that will be a cross between The O'Reilly Factor and The Daily Show. The show is being developed for a mid-April launch.

The show will be the first FSN program to completely originate from New York City. The 30-year old New York native, who was born in the Bronx, now resides in Manhattan.

"Max is one of the brightest young talents on the sports horizon. His ability to engage the viewer and challenge the people he interviews is perhaps his finest trait. The show will be built for Max like a custom made car, displaying all of Max's diverse television skills," said George Greenberg, Executive Vice President of Programming, Production, FSN.

Kellerman, who started his boxing career hosting "Max on Boxing" as a high school sophomore, will return to his roots and utilize his encyclopedic boxing knowledge for FSN's boxing coverage. In addition to his new show, he will also be a contributor on BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW PERIOD and other FSN programs.

Kellerman joins Fox Sports Net from ESPN, where he was most recently the host of "Around the Horn." Prior to that, he was a studio analyst for "Friday Night Fights" on ESPN 2.

"I've been very fortunate to have had tremendous opportunities in the past. Now, I have a new opportunity and privilege to work for innovators like Bob Thompson and George Greenberg in the house David Hill built," said Kellerman. "I always dreamed of playing third base for the Yankees, but they chose to go in another direction. So, for me, this is the next best thing."

he still cant score. sometimes he gives just 1 point. and very sloooowly. its like he's never played video games in his life. he's got the reflexes of a slug.

The last week Max was on they got new joysticks and they don't work the same as the old ones. If you push it too hard it'll add too many points.

stat boy's getting worse. he's not anticipating the eliminations soon enough, and it just looks awkward. and did espn lose the Disembodied Voice too?

Who cares? Woody Paige makes it ok! And Micheal Holley's Wide World of Sports blazer gets extra points.
