ESPN Restricts Max Kellerman From Doing Any Work After Being Fired

ESPN has made the decision to restrict Max Kellerman from engaging in any work-related activities following his departure from the company. This includes appearing on television or participating in any other form of work.

Despite no longer being employed by ESPN, Kellerman is being compensated for his services and is therefore prohibited from taking on any additional work.

And that’s how come he’s never been seen on television or engaging in any other work. In fact, he is getting paid by ESPN to do nothing!

Kellerman, the original host of ‘Around the Horn,’ went on to become a media star at The Worldwide Leader in Sports, working alongside Stephen A. Smith on ‘First Take.’ However, a falling out with Stephen A. saw him removed from the show before he was let go altogether in 2023.

Since then, he hasn’t been seen on television and also hasn’t been active on social media.

Kellerman’s decision to keep a low profile has everything to do with the money he’s still making from ESPN.

The analyst was still under contract with the company when he was ousted, so he’s still making what he would have made if he’d been kept on. All he has to do to keep those checks coming is nothing.

Max’s longtime friend Brian Kenny recently discussed the situation with Awful Announcing.

“[Max is] on ice, as they say,” he explained. “He texted me because I reached out to him after that happened. I said, ‘That’s awful.’ And he said, ‘Hey, look, I’ll get paid for doing nothing. Best job I’ve ever had.’ It’s so strange in this era of corporate layoffs that they lay you off, and you can’t work, but they’ll pay you. You can’t do anything while they’re paying you.”

No TV appearances, no nothing. Poor guy must be twiddling his thumbs at home. Talk about a harsh contract terms but hey, since he’s getting paid, that’s all that matters!
