Max Kellerman tells it like it is
Over at Dispatches from the Culture Wars, Ed Brayton has not one, but two, posts up about sports commentators causing controversy. I’m reminded of this brief piece - that evidently went unnoticed by the Guardians of All that is True and Right - by Max Kellerman on Tucker Carlson’s show. They’re discussing a Pay-per-View event where a seance will be held to conjure up the spirit of John Lennon.
A lot of people find Max Kellerman obnoxious. At times, I’m one of those people. Nevertheless, Max brings a youthful enthusiasm to the sport of boxing, and he’s a guy that recognizes that the sport is about the fighters in the ring, not the talking heads giving the commentary. When he co-anchored ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights, there was a running joke when it came time to make predictions for upcoming bouts. Bob Papa and Teddy Atlas would always make Max go first, then they would pick the exact opposite of him.
I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:
