I have no idea who this guy is, but I guess ESPN has to tow the line...
Another ESPN mouth is in hot water.
The Daily News has learned ESPN has suspended Max Kellerman for an inappropriate conversation on ESPN-LA Radio surrounding Ray Rice and domestic abuse. Kellerman co-hosts a show on the station and is the co-anchor of ESPN TV's "SportsNation." He is also HBO Sports' lead boxing analyst.
On the "Mason & Ireland " show, which leads into his afternoon-drive program, Kellerman admitted to hitting his girlfriend many years ago.
ESPN would neither confirm nor deny Kellerman's suspension. In a statement issued Friday afternoon and ESPN spokesman said:
"Max Kellerman will return to ESPN-LA Radio and 'SportsNation' on Thursday."
The conversation in question took place Monday afternoon, three days after Stephen A. Smith was suspended for saying women should be careful not to "provoke" any incident of abuse. On ESPN-LA, Kellerman told a story going back years when he and his then-girlfriend Erin, who now is his wife, attended a college party.
Kellerman said they both had to much too drink. He said when he tried getting things under control his then-girlfriend slapped him. Kellerman said he slapped her back. He was quick to tell listeners that the woman is now is his wife and they have been happily married for 20 years.
