      He shouldn’t say anything negative. Stephen A said they were not compatible. In the work force some people just can’t work with other. It is what it is. Step up your debate game, or be put on another show. Very easy. At least he still has a job with the same company making the same salary.

    Let's keep it real. You keep getting asked about Max because of two things.
    1. People liked him.
    2. There is a belief you are responsible for him leaving the show.
    Sadly, that will continue to be asked because of #1 and regardless of how you answer #2.

You know the brotha is out of a job and you chose to go out of your way to trash the man when he down when you single handily had him fired, and him "carrying" the show and Max didnt do anything to help. its fine to have your beliefs on a former coworker but to trash him publicly when you know he doesnt have a job is just wrong.

Y'all don't want to admit that Max wasn't that special. When Max went on with Keyshawn and JWill in the morning and got "This Just In" in the afternoon, did you follow him? Did you watch the shows? Did you even record it to watch it later or watch the clips on YT? No, y'all didn't and so both the shows he was on got cancelled and ESPN let him go. SAS didn't get Max fired, y'all did cause you didn't watch him when he wasn't on First Take. He out of a job cause y'all ain't watch nothing he did after First Take, but lets blame SAS for that?

You went ahead and emphasized the fact he wasn’t a Journalist and he wasn’t a ballplayer. Undercutting the perception of him as someone that could work in the industry, and comment from a position of authority .

You're talking like Stephen A wasn't clear when you said, "I feel that Stephen A did what he claimed was done to Shannon." No, Stephen A didn't throw a rock and hand his hand.
