|  #1 Posted on 11.2.04 1447.05 | 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.
Stat Boy sucks.

Liberals sometimes claim to believe in personal freedom, but their concept of liberty seems limited to matters related to sex....Yet outside the sexual realm, liberals are downright illiberal. They want to control every aspect of our lives: what we eat, what we smoke, what we drive, how we defend our homes and families, how much of our own money we're allowed to keep.

| #9 Posted on 12.2.04 0148.31 | It's funny, I couldn't really see Kenny in that role, but everywhere I've been today and everyone I've talked to has immediately mentioned him as a good replacement.
It would be interesting.
They all had such great chemistry with Max though, a real shame to see him go.

| #10 Posted on 12.2.04 1437.22 | Never thought I'd say it, but I hate to see Max go as well. I hated ATH when it started out, but man did that show grow on me, especially after watching it daily while eating dinner in good ol' college dining halls.
BTW, my replacement vote goes to Kenny Mayne.

I'd like to see Bob Ryan host the show.

I'm more worried about who will replace Tony on the radio.
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.
Whoever gets the gig has to move to DC, so that may be a factor in who they choose.

I'd give the nod to him, only because he's dealt with panel shows before (2MD).

Hell, if Warren Sapp ever retires, I say give the show to him. Okay, maybe not, but I hear Lennox Lewis needs something to do.

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.

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.

| #19 Posted on 13.2.04 1015.58 | Instant Rating: 5.33 | | 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
