Inside the mind of The Max

16 Feb

The below questions have been bouncing around our noggin for the past few hours/days. We’re willing to bet you’ve been thinking about them too. If so, let us know what you think.

  • budss.jpgDoes Bud Selig realize he shamed MLB with his ignorance more than Alex Rodriguez ever could have? What a hypocrite!
  • Isn’t it kinda weird that Shaq was named co-MVP of the All-Star Game, especially since it’s been three years since he’s put up numbers worthy of being an all-star?
  • Isn’t it lame that the Daytona 500, which is supposedly the Super Bowl of driving around in circles, could be cut short due to rain? Imagine the NFL stopping a game after two-and-a-half quarters.
  • After last night’s No Way Out, should we ever pay $39.99 to watch another WWE pay-per-view? We’re guessing no.
  • Are you as tired as we are of hearing about Brett Favre? (Not that that’s going to stop us from continuing to post Favre entries.)
  • We know the United States is all about second chances, but do we really need to see Michael Vick in an NFL uniform again?
  • If everybody on MLBlogs bought a pair of skates, do you think we can beat the New York Rangers? We do.

Honesty is the only policy … for sports fans, anyway

21 Jan

The best thing about sports — besides the actual game, scouting cheerleaders, nine innings worth of downing beers and munching on hot dogs — has to be when fans express their irritation when something goes wrong.

Ashley Simpson doesn’t lip sync for once, and she pays for it at the Orange Bowl:

Barry Bonds and his expanding head hears it from the crowd during an at-bat.

WWE fans get a “boring” chant going during yet another lame attempt at something funny from WWE “writers.”



Carl Lewis embarrasses himself in front of Michael Jordan and Chicago.

Sarah “Hockey Mom” Palin has few fans in Philly.

Yankees fans can be tough — they’ll even boo the ones they love.

Nationals fans give Dubya the same reception he’d get from 77% of U.S. citizens.

Filling holes in 2009

13 Oct

There’s a closet on the third floor of The Max world headquarters in Dix Hills, NY, that very few people know about. Inside, there’s a bunch of stuff very few people would care about… A box of misprinted Max T-shirts (they read The Macs), the latest NKOTB album and soccer (yes, the entire sport).

Anyway, tucked away in the very back is an operational crystal ball. Even though we already know the answer, we asked the ball if the Yankees would pick up Jason Giambi’s option for 2009. The prophetic answer we were given was “outlook not so good.” With that, the Bombers clearly have an important hole to fill next season. No, not at first base. This one’s more important. Who’s gonna step up and wear the team’s mustache? Here’s our top options:

Joba Chamberlain
joba.jpgThis kid was born to do two things: Be a major league pitcher and wear a mean mustache. We’re not talking about one of those girly ‘staches Johnny Depp sports every now and then; we see him in a Yosemite Sam (but slightly smaller).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bobby Abreu
abreu1.jpgWe’re guessing Abreu can’t pull off the hairy ‘stache of Joba Chamberlain. But he could probably make Jimmy Buffett jealous with his version of the pencil-thin job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alex Rodriguez
arod.jpgUndoubtedly, A-Rod would have the most perfectly manicured mustache in the history of the world. And he’d probably finish it off with a few blonde highlights, just to match his head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ian Kennedy
kennedy.jpgWhat? You can’t see it? You just have to squint your eyes a little bit. It’s there, and we’re very proud of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mike Mussina

Assuming Moose returns for another year in pinstripes, we suggest he dust off the fake ‘stache he wore during Jason Giambi Day at the Stadium this past season. He looks darn good with that thing on. But coupled with the shades, he slightly resembles an incognito Bobby Valentine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Derek Jeter

jeter.jpgDuring this morning’s editorial meeting, we took a vote and 100 percent of The Max believes the captain should take one for the team and grow a fade on his upper lip.
