Aw man. Now we're stuck with Max for the next 40 years or so

Larrys a one of a kind guy. He will be missed by guys like me. In fact, I will miss him more than anyone since Don Dunphy. Getting this old is wierd at times.....................

No offense to anyone who likes him but he has needed to go for a long time.

I've loved Larry, he at times has been the one guy on HBO who will tell it like it is. Lately though he has seemed pretty much out of it. I think it is time for him to retire as a commentator. HBO just needs to let Max have more of a free reign asking questions.

i know that he has been part of the sport for a long time but he needs to go. i didnt used to mind him but he is getting annoying now. i wish they would also get rid of lampley too which they wont do. i think it would be nice to get some new blood on HBO. merchant is going senile and lampley seems way too bias.
