Just flipped on Around The Horn, Max Kellerman's former gig. That Zach dude, the one who would have won the Dream Job if he had cut his hair, is hosting. I was surprised to see him. I don't know if they are auditioning people for a permanent job, or what the deal is. The guy who used to be Stat Boy on Tony Kornheiser's show was hosting the last few times I caught the show. But Chia Helmet Zach is definitely gonna go far in his career, much farther than that Mike Hall loser.
Kellerman took a job with Fox and does a daily show called I, Max. I've only caught bits and pieces, but it's the same kind of stuff, only it's him vs. one other person every show in a debate. I liked him better as a moderator. Now he just seems like a Jim Rome wannabe. I'm sure he got a nice pay increase for leaving ESPN.

MC - I'm pretty sure Kellerman quit, but he may have been encouraged to do so - ESPN politics. Like everything Stat boy has fans and bashers. I give him credit for moving up from bit part on PTI to ATH host, nice move. Plus he was smart enough to keep his Stat Boy gig.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
this is sorta right - sorta not. kellerman's contract ran out and FOX wooed him. he had a 3-year $950k deal in hand from FOX and told espn that amount is what he wanted to stay with espn - and when they stopped laughing - they bid him farewell and he went to FOX. the show will be off the air by the end of the year - costing FOX a TON of $$$$$$$$$$$$
