Breaking news: Baseball to adjust drug-testing

cubsfan.jpgChicago – Despite yet another heart-breaking season by the Chicago Cubs, there have been three separate sightings of fans walking around the Windy City wearing Cubs paraphernalia. When told of the shocking situation, and unnamed executive in baseball’s front office told reporters, “Clearly we need to extend the drug-testing to the fans, as well.”

Former lifelong Cubs fan Cormack Burke agrees. “I’ve been following the Cubbies for 35 years, but after this latest collapse, I can’t do it anymore. When people choose to follow this team even after clubs like the Marlins and Diamondbacks win titles, there has to be something wrong. These fans need to be tested. An altered state is the only logical explanation.”

At this point, the only thing holding the testing back is cost. Sources close to the situation claim that baseball has reached out to the NFL to see if they wanted to split costs when they test Raiders fans.

 

Editor’s note: While we here at The Max never claim to be a P.I. (you know, like Magnum, P.I.), we believe we may have unearthed the source of the Cubs’ problems. Perhaps if they were concentrating more on playing baseball, rather than appearing on WWE.com’s Santino’s Casa webshow, they would have won a game. Take a look:

Ok, I just got a call from the web guy at YESNetwork.com who told me that he was ready for me and my brother to start updating The Max. The only problem is, that despite knowing that we would be doing this for more than two weeks, we are completely unprepared. But that’s not going to stop me from earning a paycheck.

For this first-ever entry at The Max (no, we don’t serve burgers here. This isn’t Saved By the Bell), I figured I’d provide you guys with some of the items I found to be very witty this week on the web. This will help you get an idea of what we will be doing here at The Max.

The Simpsons softball quiz: In the history of television, there are few shows better than The Simpsons. And it doesn’t get any better than when Wade Boggs, Jose Conseco, Don Mattingly and others joined Monty Burns’ softball team. Check out the quiz here.

Ok, so that was my weak attempt at a first entry. We’ll do better next week, I promise. If you have a funny link you would like us to link to, just send me an email at maxwelljack@live.com. Or just send me an email to tell me you were less than entertained by the above links. I don’t care either way.

Seriously.
