Want free promotion for your blog or website?

17 Feb
Getting free promotion is simple when you come to The Max. You just gotta play an easy word association game with us. If yours are clever enough to make the varsity team, we’ll give you, your company or your website a shout-out just for playing. Be creative. Be funny. Be PG. 
  • Your name
  • Your occupation, blog or website 
  • Two PG-rated photos 
  • A few word associations
Need a better idea of what we’re looking for? Lucky for you, one of The Max’s head button pushers, Zack Zeigler, was kind enough to play the first round as an example.

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.

What does Favre do next?

12 Feb

Since Brett Favre bothered everyone with another retirement announcement, you can do one of two things: camp outside his enormous crib like one of our writers, Jack Maxwell, has decided to do, or you can pitch some ideas to The Max and hope they somehow make it to Brett’s ear. Here’s some options we came up with for him:

Stay on Broadway
Favre is perfect for the lead in a one-act play that we’ve tentatively titled “The Lost Season of the Fallen Man.” Hopefully you’ll know what we based the plot on.

(Un)-motivational Speaker
Like SNL’s Matt Foley before him, Brett Favre has credit to his name and could get a gig talking to people about the proper way to ruin a legacy, and also why attempting to stretch a career out beyond its lifespan is an awful, terrible, no good idea. To add star power, we’ve heard that Michael Jordan will be an occasional guest speaker.

Seek solace as a caveman
Nothing personal, Brett, but having read something about you and the Jets’ downfall for the second half of the football season until the day you decided to retire (again), we kind of just want you to GO AWAY. Again, nothing personal, but please get lost and stay out of the media. (Nice Photoshop work, we know.)

They played for who?

12 Feb

Now that the Brett Favre experiment is finally over in New York (result: failure), The Max takes a look back at some other notable bad decisions by your favorite athletes. Who do you think look most weird in their new uniform?

First on the scene

12 Feb

The Max has never prided itself on being a breaking-news service. But in this instance, we have sent Jack Maxwell to the Favre compound in Mississippi to be the first on the scene when Brett Favre announces his unretirement. So, if you actually care to be the first to know when Brett comes back to the NFL, keep it here. The Max will be the first to report the news (take that, Yahoo! Sports). And yes, that’s Jack at the bottom left.

The License Plate Game

6 Feb

Most celebrities usually covet their privacy. But not these superstars. Check out the vanity plates of the below athletes. They clearly have a lot on their minds (in most cases) and want you to know about it.
