Max Kellerman Twitter



Sunday marked the three-year anniversary of one of the worst moments in talking head history, and Twitter reacted accordingly. On July 28, 2016, Max Kellerman sat behind the “First Take” desk. The latest tweets from @maxkellerman.

Even though Monday was a holiday with Labor Day, it doesn’t mean that the talking heads were taking a day off from delivering preposterous hot sports takes.

And where else would you find such takes but the enduring cauldron of ridiculousness that is ESPN’s First Take. In a debate entitled “Who is the most electric athlete in history?” (which, why wouldn’t you trust the minds behind First Take to finally deliver the definitive answer to that question), co-host Max Kellerman took it upon himself to… denigrate the thousands of track and field athletes across the world?

Kellerman argued that A) track is not really a sport because it’s too broad and just focused on fast-twitch muscles, and B) “track and field stars are usually failed football and basketball players.” Sure, why not! That sounds like a hot enough take for a long holiday weekend.

ESPN’s Max Kellerman says track is not a sport and you only get into it because you’re a failure of an athlete and not tough enough…dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. pic.twitter.com/xRpiMO0Lnn

Yes, all those sprinters and hurdlers who win gold medals and worldwide fame aren’t the real athletes because they don’t play for the Cowboys or Lakers and thereby don’t exist within the canonical First Take universe. Mac sierra app torrent download.

One person who saw straight through Kellerman’s absurdity was nine-time Olympic gold medalist and legendary track and field star Carl Lewis. You may have heard of him even though he didn’t play football or basketball. Lewis ethered Kellerman in his response, calling Kellerman out for just trolling for attention.

Well isn't @maxkellerman special. You take your privilege filled with failure, and troll just for attention. We've seen this movie… say more and more until you've gone to far. The sad thing is that you're the last to know. Athletes strive for excellence. And then we have you. https://t.co/uFqHC1ZrqP

Privilege filled with failure? That’s a pointed criticism if there ever was one. Of course, whenever you write about First Take, you risk the show getting the attention it so desperately craves. But maybe it’s at least worth calling out the fact that even though Skip Bayless has been gone from ESPN for years, First Take is still capable of some reality-bending stuff.

Seriously, imagine arguing that track and field stars aren’t really athletes, given that the word “athlete” itself dates back to Ancient Greece and the original Olympics. Shockingly, those original Olympics in Ancient Greece featured a lot of running and not a lot of American football, which wasn’t invented for another 2,500 years.

The ancient Greeks had Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. We have Bayless, Stephen A., and Kellerman. Advantage: ancient Greece.

Thursday, ESPN “First Take” co-host Max Kellerman defended Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James for his now-deleted “YOU’RE NEXT” tweet in response to the Ma’Khia Bryant shooting in Columbus, OH.

Although Kellerman acknowledged James jumped the gun in his tweet showing the image of the police officer involved, he said it “obviously” was not a call for violence. He added that politicians who are accusing James of inciting violence are either “stupid or corrupt.”

“First of all, LeBron’s tweet, let me be very clear about this, obviously means to anyone with even a below-average I.Q. and any semblance of education at all — like, you have to be living on another planet or not understand basic language to know what ‘you’re next’ means,” Kellerman emphasized. “Are we coming out of a situation where there was vigilante mob justice against police? No. We’re coming on a situation where a cop who murdered someone on camera was tried and convicted of all charges. So, obviously, clearly, duh. That is what LeBron is referring to. Number one, that is what he is referring to. And a politician who is would use this for political gain — or let me rephrase that. Politicians who instead would lead people to believe that what LeBron was doing was attempting to incite violence either suffer from extremely low comprehension or are lying to their constituents to curry political favor. One or the other. Stupid or corrupt, right? That’s what it is.”

He added, “[W]hat is happening now, it seems to me, Stephen A., it is that LeBron reacted before the facts were out, admitted that he did so, and now it is being used as a political football in bad faith. That is what seems to me to be happening.”
