Larry Merchant destroyed fights with his sour commentary!

I'll admit to knowing nothing about Max's personal hates. But I did notice him ragging on Brady. I thought it was just him playing devil's advocate. It's like Brady would have to win the next few Super Bowls and play till he's 50 before Max concedes anything. It's weird. Some commentators/analysts know something about some sports..... and practically nothing about others. I tend not to put too much weight on Max's football opinions. A hater like him probably knows little about football history or even the technical aspects of the sport.

Kellerman is becoming like the rest of them. He is being controversial just to be controversial. Unlike many people, I do like his takes on boxing, but he has awful analysis on the NBA and the NFL. He seems to be a casual fan trying to pretend he watches.

There's a trend, on ESPN at least, where it seems the popular thing to do to pit Kellerman and Stephen A. against each other and subject us to their big mouths (especially Stephen A.). One of their marketing gurus must've told them that's what ESPN viewers like. Just like they must've told ESPN that viewers also enjoy comedienne wannabes team up in he said/she said duets with comedian wannabes. So for now they're pitting Max and Stephen A. against each other in every sport from boxing to football to basketball to curling.

Merchant hated Roy Jones from early.
