A boxing commentator and radio host has been suspended from his job with ESPN-LA Radio following a conversation he had on-air.

Max Kellerman was on the Mason and Ireland show which leads into his afternoon drive program when the subject of Ray Rice's domestic abuse of his wife arose.

Kellerman admitted on-air that he hit his girlfriend many years ago.

The New York Daily News reports that ESPN suspended Kellerman following the 'inappropriate' comment.

ESPN issued a statement Friday afternoon neither confirming nor denying that Kellerman had been suspended.

Well it depends on what you mean by a lot. If you knew anything about rights fees, you would know that most MLB teams have 162 game packages to their local stations…..and then there’s the Turner network contracts - almost every damned MLB game is on TV somewhere.

Why you think it must be ESPN that does it speaks to a teeny tiny mind.

And again, off topic of my comment about the stupid comments made on their talk shows….which I said happened in part because they’re on the air too much…..and yet, you somehow mental m-st-rbated that I liked those shows.

Your vulgarity says far more about you than me.
