Sports fans are excited for Max Kellerman following an announcement revealing he’s finally set to step out from the shadows after close to two years of silence.

Kellerman was at one time one of the most popular figures at ESPN, having replaced Skip Bayless opposite Stephen A. Smith on ‘First Take.’ But his co-host ultimately had him kicked off the show, citing poor chemistry, and he has since left the network altogether.

Fortunately, he’s been getting paid very well while staying on his couch. The former rapper is still getting a check from The Worldwide Leader in Sports, and he was still under contract once he was let go.

Max is making $5 million to do absolutely nothing, though there is a caveat. His ESPN money will be cut off once he starts working elsewhere.

It appears he’s ready. After all, there is only so much money one can enjoy to stay away from the things they love.

Kellerman is scheduled to return to the broadcast table on September 13, when he’ll call the highly anticipated showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.

Fans were absolutely buzzing over the latest announcement regarding Max Kellerman. It’s fair to say the man has been missed.

“Love this for the sport,” one declared.

“Great pickup for the fight! Max Kellerman is an icon in the sport,” another raved.

“Now can we get Max and Marcellus back as a podcast or what? Max looks buff now, he might be able to wrestle Marcellus 🤣,” someone joked.

“Finally! Boxing is where Max is at his best,” a user claimed.

“I’ve been calling for this since the day he left. 🥹 We truly are MBGA!” one comment read.

It’s unfortunate that things went the way they went for Max at ESPN, but we do not doubt that he will be in high demand once he decides he’s ready to return to full-time work.

Social Media Is Sending Their Prayers To Clint Eastwood Today

Clint Eastwood turned 95 recently, but it hasn’t been an easy year for the legendary actor and director.

On Tuesday, fans across the country poured out messages of support as news spread about his recent struggles. Eastwood has been mourning the sudden death of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera, who passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.

The Hollywood icon has kept a low profile since her passing. For fans who’ve followed his career for decades, seeing Eastwood go through this personal loss has struck a chord. Though the actor has rarely been seen in public in recent months, his son Scott Eastwood shared a welcome update that gave many people a reason to breathe a little easier.

Scott Eastwood, in a recent interview, reassured fans that his father is holding up. “He’s doing good,” he said. “He’s a survivor, a trouper. He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.” That perspective seems to be carrying Eastwood through yet another chapter of hardship.

 

Supporters didn’t hesitate to show their love. Social media lit up with tributes, memories, and heartfelt messages. Many highlighted not only his contributions to film but also his resilience as a person.

“There are literally hundreds of reasons why a man doesn’t get better with age,” one fan posted on X.

Another fan commented, “HE IS NEVER GONNA STOP!!!!”

Another fan chimed in, “I hope he blesses us with his presence for many more years!”

Photographs from December 2018 show Eastwood attending the premiere of The Mule with Sandera by his side. The two had been together for years, and her sudden loss clearly left a mark on him. Though the grief remains, Eastwood isn’t ready to slow down completely. In an interview with Kurier on May 30, he reflected on aging with intent. “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” he said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

Clint Eastwood, who has eight children- Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Francesca, Kyle, Kathryn, Scott and Morgan- continues to lean on family during this time. For fans, the hope is simple: that he keeps creating, keeps going, and, most of all, keeps finding strength in the days ahead.
