Max Kellerman Show on 710 ESPN radio

I don't really listen, but i assume any sports radioshow at LA would have to s [ at ] ck. It would be basically a Lakers show since basically all other sports are kind of irrelevant there. Max was great in NY cause he's really knowledgable about baseball and basketball.

This dude Max sucks for LA sports talk. I give him until the summer and he'll be gone. His New York ish doesnt play over here. I thought 710 was the Lakers station...not the Knicks or Heat station. This clown runs his mouth about the Heat this and the Knicks that...I made the move to 570 until 2pm.

I liked Michael and Andrew. Sicilliano cut you off after you made a point and proceeded without you having time to answer his agreement or rebuttal. That bugged me.

The show is terrible. Max is awkward.

Bring back Siciliano/MT

ESPN is already looking to drop the show. Hopefully its true...the Loose Cannons were talking about it today

The material of the show itself is not bad.

It's just that Kellerman is an amazingly arrogant douche.

I tried it for two days, I won't be listening anymore. Now I will be listening to Hacksaw once again, caught his show this afternoon. Classic Hacksaw, "A call from an Irishman soccer hoodlum drinking on a Friday afternoon and calling the show". Gotta love Lee.

Producer Amanda Brown was probably onto something, Max Kellerman will probably be canned before long.

In the continuing saga of Amanda getting verbally pummeled, she mentioned on-air that A. Martinez admitted during the break that he had enough abuse from Max and wanted to work the evenings instead. I don't think it was a contrived radio bit, even though Max brilliantly backpedaled in the next segment by claiming Producer Amanda made everything up and was just kidding. Yeah, very much believable.

Decided quit while I was behind and listened to the "Mason/Ireland Pre-Show Show" on the other station, also known as the Loose Cannons.

McCarthy is the new GM and yes there are rumors Max will get canned soon. Mike Thompson the PD at 710 has done this before. Back in the late 90's he was the PD at the old XTRA SPORTS 1150 and he fired Joe McDonnell and hired another loudmouth New Yorker in Arnie Spanier (Oh Laker Fansssssssss) He also the was the guy that hired Karl Malone with Vic the Brick at the old 1150 for his brief stint as a talk-show host in L.A. during the NBA lockout of 1999. Now he brings in Max who is as obnoxious as can be because he worked with him in New York at the ESPN outlet up there. He's a terrible program director and the direct result is how bad the station sounds. He has Mason and Ireland doing their own sports updates. I was never a fan of Siciliano talking down to Mychael Thompson but at least he was a professional unlike Max the clown. L.A. sportsradio is as it's lowest point EVER!

^LA sports radio has gone from the days of Jim Healy/Xtra690/KMPC710 to a shell of its former self.

There have been some recent posts on another forum that PD Mike Thompson fired an Xtra 1150 radio host outside a sandwich shop. I finally found out that it was none other than Joe McDonnell getting canned from his drive-time slot.

That K.Malone and VtB show may have been one of the worst pairings/experiments ever, I didn't realize that was Mike Thompson's "work" but given the previous Spanier troll/current Kellerman disaster, I am not surprised.

As for Mason/Ireland are doing their own updates, I thought they 710AM paid so much money for the rights to Lakers-Trojans that they didn't have enough left for an update person. While I understand it's probably designed to keep people listening just like in those live ad spots, it doesn't work too well and sounds awkward. Mason trips over the updates and doesn't seem fond of doing them.

Hope that this new McCarthy (GM) will do what another McCarthy (GM) did in NY, fire Max Kellerman and Mike Thompson PD should go too.

Seen this on the 710 Facebook

710 ESPN Los Angeles
Max says today is the last show of the Max Kellerman Show?!?! Major announcement at the end of the show! TUNE IN!

I bet they're going to announce he's getting a co-host or something

Marcellus Wiley which has been rumored for weeks to be the co-host is joining Max Kellerman on Monday. It's a good move since Wiley is from L.A. and should be a better fit than A. Martinez which is a better update man than talk-show host.
