Skip Bayless' replacement on ESPN's First Take wasted no time.

Max Kellerman made his debut on ESPN’s “First Take” on Monday, and just like his predecessor Skip Bayless, he didn’t hesitate from throwing a few punches.
His target on Monday? The NFL.
Speaking on the NFL’s recent investigation into Aldon Smith amid the circulation of a recent online video, Kellerman noted the league’s hypocrisy in which substances it clamps down on:
“Why is the NFL testing for marijuana at all? Why? That’s a choice they’re making. This is a league that is in bed with companies that peddle alcohol. They’re sponsored, they take money from companies that say ‘here, drink this.’ In any objective study ever done, the effects of alcohol — certainly, the societal effects — are objectively always worse than marijuana. If the threshold is alcohol, why is the NFL choosing to test for marijuana?”
He continued.
“The fact that the NFL chooses to do that is, at the very least, hypocritical. They don’t have to make that choice, they don’t have to do that, they choose to.”
