Max Kellerman is immune to intelligence.

He's not wrong that a lot of SEC fans are dumb. That's very true. Sorry you guys can't be Florida or Vandy with academics, but we also have much more sidewalk fans with no education than any other conference.

But that doesn't preclude the fact that the uneducated are just as gullible to also be persuaded to be the other side. I get it, he went to Columbia, so he feels like he's hot shite above the rest of us.

I don't watch this show anyway because Stephen A is too racist for my taste. Max Kellerman I thought was smarter than this.

Oh well. I will live my life.

Have you met Raiders and Jets fans?

Half of the population is below average intelligence. You have "dumb" folks everywhere.

I don't disagree. He's just dumb for making a blanket statement that insinuates SEC fans are all dumb and therefore voting for Trump. Why did ESPN get so political? Does this content bring more ratings?

Well if he is going to call out stupid people, he should probably start with the athletes. Hard to figure out how some of them tie their shoes.

It's odd. They think they have more of a voice than they actually do. They got bitchslapped back to playing pretty fast after they realized the $ they would miss out on. College players doing this would be even worse for their future. These are your opportunities to show your athletic ability on TV, but without that, you're just a student (which we know they hate) and you're skipping out on an opportunity.

I support the BLM movement (NOT the organization), but it's going to be a very slow process -- decades really, before any mentality would change among the masses. These abrupt headlines aren't going to make people think "Oh, maybe I shouldn't be racist now." It may change the election though, but that's about it for short-term. Nothing more will change over the next 5-10 years regardless of the outcome.

Just live your lives and wear masks. That includes playing sports, going to work, just be safe doing so -- that's my neutral point of view.

It's not as big of a difference as people make out.

In the Northeast 34% of the population has attained at least a bachelor's degree versus 28% in the Southeast.

Kellerman is a typical east coast liberal who believes he's smarter than anyone else, especially more so than us southerners who are easily manipulated and decide our presidential vote based on whether the SEC has a football season.

I just listened to his segment this morning with Stephen A. Smith and I became heated. The dude was criticizing Brian Urlacher for taking the side of the police in the Jacob Blake shooting, tying him to those people who are "immune to facts" while spitting out outdated and downright false information regarding the Blake and Rittenhouse shootings. Stephen A. Smith of all people had to call him on his bullshite.

What does the BLM movement think about Jacob Blake?

What does the BLM movement think about Rayshard Brooks?

What does the BLM movement think about Michael Brown?

Really, I'm asking for your thoughts and curious if you are consistent with BlM.

Maybe Kellerman is immune to the fact that CFB is an economic engine for many of these college towns

Unless a ball game is on I don't watch ESPN. I have tried to listen to Stephen A Smith a few times. To him, there is a racist conspiracy behind everything that happens in this country. I get tired of that crap.

This Kellerman guy I am not familiar with at all. He sounds like a typical liberal northeastern person. The South is the eternal boogeyman for anything and everything they dislike in this country.

Having worked with people of his persuasion I am never surprised by what comes out of their very limited and narrow minds. When you mix arrogance with ignorance you wind up with an obnoxious combination.

The SEC should threaten to rip up the contract with ESPN and demand the firing of Max Kellerman or they'll seek a new partner.

We should call the SEC and demand they put pressure on ESPN for this to happen.
The SEC should do the exact OPPOSITE!

Don't tear up the contract... demand more money from it.

If someone has disdain for you, as Kellerman an employee and therefore public representative of ESPN does, then take more from them. Rip them off, pressure them, take it all if you can.

If ESPN (and its employees) want to position themselves as, for lack of a better term, "enemies" of the SEC (and the fans of teams that comprise the SEC) then we should pick the corpse clean, financially speaking. Not back off and let them create the distance they seek.

He isn’t wrong. 90% of posters here seem to think the election is why college football could be canceled, which is ignorant.

The people that love Trump will continue to love him.
The people that hate Trump will continue to hate him.

Only a simpleton believes football could convince a libtard or a conservatard to change their meaningless vote.


If only your knowledge of the facts matched your certainty in your opinion. But respected pollsters say you're the ignorant one.

Duh. This is Trump nation. The land of alternative facts. You think these kind of people know what is happening in reality?
