(March 10, 2009) Max Kellerman, the self-anointed sports brainiac, is out at ESPN-1050. Station suits said the decision to end their relationship with Kellerman, who worked the 10 a.m.-1 p.m. slot, was "mutual."
What this means is Kellerman, who is also a boxing analyst at HBO Sports, likely has another gig already lined up. Could it be Kellerman is headed to WFAN to work along side Mike (The Sports Pope) Francesa?
The FANdroids have been looking for a sidekick for Francesa since his long-time partner Chris (Mad Dog) Russo split the FAN Cave for a solo gig on Sirius/XM satellite radio.
A Francesa-Kellerman pairing, a marriage of huge egos, would make for interesting radio and fireworks.
In showing Kellerman the door ESPN-1050 boss Tim McCarthy said: "Max is a highly articulate and passionate sports talk host and he brought a unique voice to our talent lineup."
Brandon Tierney, the station's evening talkie, will work in Kellerman's spot until a permanent replacement is found.
