ESPN's Max Kellerman was paid $5,000,000 to NOT work

"Max is on ice, as they say," his good friend, Brian Kenny, told Awful Announcing's podcast. "He texted me because I reached out to him after that happened. I said, ‘That’s awful.’ And he said, ‘Hey, look, I’ll get paid for doing nothing. Best job I’ve ever had.’ It’s so strange in this era of corporate layoffs that they lay you off, and you can’t work, but they’ll pay you. You can’t do anything while they’re paying you."

But Kellerman is set to make his return.

The longtime ESPN personality will officially return to sports broadcasting in September. He will be calling the boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford on Sept. 13. The match will be taking place in Las Vegas.

"Max Kellerman will officially return to boxing on September 13th as part of the broadcast team for Canelo vs Crawford‼️" Source of Boxing announced.

Congratulations are pouring in for the former ESPN host on Monday morning.

"Love this for the sport," one fan wrote.

"Great pickup for the fight! Max Kellerman is an icon in the sport," one fan added.

"Welcome back!" one fan added.

"Max is greatly missed," one fan added.

"What legend, one of the best ever to do it," one fan added.

"That’s dope! He has been missed," one fan added.

It'll be fun to see Kellerman back on the air in September.

That man gets hotter with age. I've always had the biggest crush on him.

I cannot stand Stephen Smith. He about ruined the NBA finals for me. He had to scream and rant, while the others were rolling their eyes. A complete ass.

Why in the HELL would ESPN keep that fucking obnoxious Stephen A. Smith, over the very hot and talented Max Kellerman???

Smith is being paid this obscene amount of money by ESPN, and I just don't understand it.

He brings nothing to the table.

Is he holding them hostage, or something? Does he have dirt on the owners of ESPN?

It makes no sense.

Compare the two, and it's clear which one they should have kept, and which one they should have dumped.

Smith vs. Kellerman.

Kellerman wins.

Kellerman would get IT.

Come on, you can't still be that clueless.

One word -- DEI, which discriminates against white men to prop blacks, even if the former is more qualified.

Stephen A. Smith is also gay, and he plays very coy, when asked about his relationships or sexuality.

The guy is 57 years old and single, never married, no relationship.

[quote] Stephen A. Smith is extremely private about who he dates; “I will cancel a woman in a heartbeat. She utters my name publicly about us, She GONE!”

Lipstick Alley, the black gossip site, is ALL over it!

No one, male or female, would find his ugly, sleazy ass attractive. Kellerman, on the other hand. . .
