Loyal readers of The Max recall our coverage of the ALCS where we used our PS3 to predict the outcome of the series. Unfortunately, despite all of our technical advancements (including putting a man on the moon), the PS3 couldn’t predict that the Tampa Bay Rays were going to be good this year. That said, they had the Red Sox topple the young upstarts 4-0. Good job, PS3!
That absurd prediction forced The Max editors to toss their PS3 and dig deep into their pockets to predict the outcome of the World Series. That’s right, we’re using a coin. By the way, this is a complete ripoff of 1050 ESPN Radio’s Max Kellerman Show (gotta give credit when it’s due). Here’s the way our coin, which happens to have the World Series logo on it (yeah, we’re fancy over here), sees the Fall Classic taking place:
Game 1
Phillies (tails)
Game 2
Phillies (tails)
Game 3
Rays (heads)
Game 4
Rays (heads)
Game 5
Rays (heads)
Game 6
Rays (heads)
Rays win 4-2
Okay, so Games 1 and 2 have already been played. But should facts really get in the way here? I mean, come on; we’re using a coin to predict the World Series for goodness sake. Anyway, congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays, your 2008 World Series Champions.

YouTube Video of the Week
We’re not really sure what to make of this. But it combines two of our most favorite things: Guitar Hero and sports.
Just wait until we find a good photo and video of the football phone. The awesomeness of that freebie puts this one to shame.
Keep checking The Max for more dumb quotes from your favorite sports personalities.
Two questions: Who wears eye black and dresses their sausage links with mustard to look like the laces of a football? Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, that’s who. You have a problem with that? Take a look at the fierceness glaring at you in that photo and you might want to rethink your position. Go on, look at him in all his meanness. He’d crush you like he crushes his John Morrell sausages.
