Max Kellerman Reportedly Barred From Working After ESPN Exit

ESPN has made the decision to prohibit Max Kellerman from any professional engagements since his departure from the network. This ban encompasses both television appearances and other career-related activities. Though Kellerman is no longer affiliated with ESPN, he continues to receive financial remuneration, restricting his ability to pursue new opportunities. As a result, he remains largely out of the public spotlight and social media, effectively "on ice," as his friend Brian Kenny put it. Once a key figure on 'Around the Horn' and a prominent presence on 'First Take' alongside Stephen A. Smith, Kellerman's exit was marked by a notable conflict with Smith. In a reflective moment, he humorously remarked, "I’ll get paid for doing nothing," highlighting the irony often seen in corporate layoffs today.
