| #1 Posted on 11.2.04 1447.05 Reposted on: 11.2.11 1447.08 | Max and ESPN have officially parted ways.
Max's contract was up, and ESPN wasn't willing to match the offers FOXSports and possibly HBO were throwing in his direction.
I'll miss his boxing analysis, but what I'll really miss is his presence on Around the Horn.
I know a lot of people hate him, but I thought he was hilarious, especially when he jawed with Woody.

It would be interesting.
They all had such great chemistry with Max though, a real shame to see him go. | HitTheSnoozeButton

BTW, my replacement vote goes to Kenny Mayne. | ShotGunShep

I wish I had known Max was leaving the show when I was up at PTI a few weeks ago. I would have liked to seen the show before it gets changed.

I'd give the nod to him, only because he's dealt with panel shows before (2MD).
There's always Mike Greenberg, but I'm biased there. Would he move to DC? I'd say no. | Torchslasher

Yeah, I've been wondering about Mr. Tony's imminent departure. I missed the announcement on the radio. WhatsupwithTHAT?
Also, I liked Reali today, he seemed a lot more relaxed, but I never get to see the show anymore, I sleep during the day. | odessasteps

| #18 Posted on 13.2.04 0609.02 Reposted on: 13.2.11 0610.12 | Tony is leaving the ESPN show at the end of March. (he originally told me February, so I'm happy for the extra month.)
"too old and too many jobs to keep all of them" is the party line.
Never fear, Tony will back doing local radio in DC by the end of the year (no compete clause), probably on 980 (Andy Polley's station). The good thing is that they stream audio. The better news is that when the new show starts, it may be Tony AND Wilbon on the show. | Retrovertigo

| #19 Posted on 13.2.04 1015.58 Reposted on: 13.2.11 1016.03 | I couldn't watch ATH because of Kellerman, so this is good news for me. With the right replacement, I might start watching it again. I'm with those who don't think Kenny Mayne would be right for the job, since he's way too goofy (in a good way) and relaxed. Off the current roster, I think Jon Andersen would be a good fit. Steve Levy or Karl Ravitch would also work out well there, but then they'd have to find someone to replace Ravitch on Baseball Tonight when spring returns. The best guy for the job, sadly, is already gone; Rich Eisen would just own in the ATH host role. | King Of Crap
