It looks like Jose Canseco’s latest 15 minutes of fame ran out and now he’s looking for more by claiming he’s sorry he wrote his tell-all book. Well, he should be sorry. But not about writing the book. The overgrown weirdo should be apologizing for the below idiotic indiscretions:
Wearing women’s intimates
Thinking this photo shoot was a good idea
Getting arrested for wearing a sleeveless V-neck
His sad attempt at a real mustache
Thinking he was tough (aka: getting knocked out by Vai Sikahema)
These jokes are acceptable to use at your next cocktail party:
Q: Do you know why the Cincinnati Bengals were the last NFL team to get a website?
A: Because they couldn’t put three W’s in a row.
Q. Why did Ron Artest leave the game early? A. He wanted to beat the crowd.
This one is a tossup:
Q: Why should you never marry a tennis player? A: Because to them love means nothing.
Under no circumstances, even if it would save planet earth from an alien space attack, should you ever use this one as an ice breaker with a Bombers fan, a dentist, or anyone:
Q: What is the difference between Yankee fans and dentists? A: One roots for the Yanks, and the other yanks for the roots.
Well, The Max made it to another Friday. And as is quickly becoming the tradition over here, we like to offer you some witty web findings that should help you get through your day at the office. Like last week, this should eat up a few hours. How you spend the rest of your work day is up to you.
Mental Floss wants you to name all 30 NHL teams in five minutes. It’s harder than it sounds. But we were pretty proud of our 25-out-of-30 attempt, and we don’t even consider hockey a sport (well, a good one, anyway). Continue…
Speaking of Mental Floss, they list their favorite athletes that did not collect $200 when they went directly to jail. Continue…

The Big Lead reviews Versus’ new show Sports Soup. The article’s length could be cut in half, but there is an opinion in there somewhere, we swear. We’re only providing you with this link because we know you didn’t see the show. Continue…
YouTube Baseball Video of the Week Somebody finally told Mr. Met that his team is no longer playing baseball. Poor guy:
Before we get started, let’s make one thing perfectly clear: The Max will not express its political views here (to be honest, we don’t even know what our political views are). This is not that kinda place. But we will get to the bottom of what the heck John McCain was scribbling on his legal pad all night during the debate. Luckily for us, it had to do with sports, which makes it fit to print on this blog.
By now, we’re sure you’re asking yourself how we know McCain’s scribblings were about sports. Well, two things: 1. Stop asking yourself so many questions and just suspend disbelief for a little while. 2. We had “our guy” pick through the trash after the debate. Here’s what he found:
Ok, a couple of things here. We like his proposed rotation. It looks like he sees Joba going back in the ‘pen, which we can’t argue. But how does he plan on getting Mike Jacobs onto the team (or why)? Also, it looks like he doesn’t like the idea of selling Cano while his stock is so low. We wonder, though, which would be an easier job? Bringing Cano back to prominence or saving the economy?
As for his drawing, we guess it’s supposed to Obama. Who knows? Maybe he should’ve concentrated more on debating, rather than doodling.
