Man, he really did. He got that man bushed just so he could assert more of a stranglehold over the show. Because there's no way y'all that watch the show can convince me that it was actually to the benefit of the show quality.
Your absolutely wrong the show is 100 percent better without max and his all over the world takes... stephen a was right he had no chemistry with max and compare to mad dog and irvin. Reddikk and the rest of them and it aint close

MAX sucks and i understand he panders to us in the black community but that doesn't take from the fact he sucks..

i agree with this and i have always had love for Max since his HBO Boxing, Around the Horn and ESPN radio in NY days.

i'd bet that he would've been cut today whether he was still on First Take or not. plus, Stephen A has been honest about the split with Max with good rationale.

people gotta understand that these cuts are actually strategic, but the Jeff Van Gundy cut is the one that puzzles me - which leads me to believe the NBA might've had something to do with it because he criticizes the players, refs and the league heavily on the air.

And that lil' theory might be all but confirmed if JVG isn't hired by another network to do big NBA games.

According to Marchand, ESPN is cutting several personalities that make at least seven-figures a year in an effort to save some of the "behind-the-scenes" people. But if that's the strategy, the company's recent decision to sign radio personality Pat McAfee to a five-year, $85 million contract sticks out like a sore thumb.

I wonder how much The Burger King Jingle breh gets paid for they shyt to run so heavily on ESPN?:patrice:
