anyone been watching? i finally got to catch an episode last friday

 

pretty hard to watch IMO

 

im not a fan of kellerman but like Around the Horn and figured i would give this a shot especially after i heard holley quit the boston globe (again) to be the right hand man along with disembodied voice :)

 

here's my problems with it

 

everyones way too frantic even judging against the similar shows of the type..especially holley..it seems like someone is always ticking him in unmentionable areas

 

the pause button V.me or whatever it is is arguably the worst gimmick ive ever scene on shows of this ilk..for some reason theres a huge difference between someone getting cut off with a mute on ATH and getting frozen and distorted here

 

that "tap tap tap" for 10 seconds remaining is grating

 

the rhyming of imax on the commercial outs (a la horn's outros) seems forced

 

max's ego and/or the egocentric nature of the show is on steroids now..max vs the world?? yipes just yipes

 

anybody else tried it? liked it at all?

I like it better than ATH or PTI, but that is extremely easy to do.

I thought he was getting a boxing show.

I think the show comes on 6 PM or before/after The Best Damn Talk Show is on. I was never a big fan of Michael Holly to begin with so that does not help in my opinion. I think I, Max can be successful if it were to say be go a different route than the ESPN debate shows and focus on boxing, MMA, wrestling. I, Max needs more personalites on the show besides the VOICE and the BLACK GUY maybe rotate new people on a weekly basis like on Thurday a boxing expert can go over the big fights for the weekend......Bert Sugar & Don King where are you.

 

I did watch the Max Kellerman interview of Roy Jones Jr on the James Brown show and I think I, Max should follow that path of being more serious rather than the loud host on a power trip.

I haven't caught this yet but my dad said he saw some of it and it was one of the worst things he's ever seen. I love Michael Holly, but I don't think I can watch I, Max just for him. The bad part out of this is if Holly is off ATH that means we'll probably see more Jackiee McMullan......FUCK SHOOT ME NOW.

Fox Sports Net needs to combine the Jim Rome discussion round table with the I,Max gimmick to make a the greatest debate sports show ever............

 

Or fire Rose and make Max the host of the Best Damn Sport Show Ever!

Funny I posted in this thread, as I'm actually watching this right now.

 

From what I've seen, I have to say I prefer ATH, but I'd still rather have Max as host.

It's actually somewhat of a combo of the two ESPN shows, after seeing the whole thing. He argues with other panelists, he talks with a sports figure (Antonio Tarver today), then reads fan mail.

If they lure Woody to I,MAX I'm going to be incredibly incredibly INCREDIBLY angry.

Wait a minute.....Holley quit the BOSTON GLOBE to do what? Is he a "panelist," like on ATH, or is he like a co-host? Is he an active co-host or just a sidekick, like Kevin Eubanks on the Tonight Show? As a soon-to-be sportswriter (well, I hope...we'll see what the market looks like post-graduation), I can't see myself quitting a pretty cake columnist job to take a risk on a show that likely won't make it.

 

BTW, is Best Damn Sports Show still on? God, I haven't watched that in forever. It seems like ESPN stole everyone from Best Damn (Irvin, Stephen A., Kruk...). Who's still there? Is it any good at all?

and holley pretty much is a co-host hes there for almost all the segments at least in the one i saw...and the boston papers talked about it around when he quit that he would be the "rumored mystery co-host"

Posted

If Woody goes to I, MAX then I'll watch the show. I watched it some yesterday and it's just not that much fun with Max trying to top Holley in boxer style scoring.

 

It's ok, just not great.

Chris Rose, Tom Arnold, John Salley, with 2 guest host. Most of the time it will be Tony Bruno and some football guy like Jim Kelly.

D'Marco Farr isn't still there, is he? He bugged me more than Stephen A.

I saw it today. It really needs more people to debate or they need to turn it into more of a three way discussion with disembodied voice. It's a shame Holley left ATH for this crap though.

 

Oh well.... I didn't like PTI until they perfected the format.

Hopefully I,Max's ratings have raised above 0.0 because it's a better show. Max's interviews are much more entertaining than PTI's, the arguments are better than ATH's. I really like the Critic's Critic game, too. ATH just has boring Buy or Sell every single day. Max is always funny in the Knockout Round segment, too.
