Inside the mind of The Max, part 4

23 Feb

Here’s the newest set of questions that have been occupying our every
thought. Let us know if you’re thinking what we’re thinking.

  • manuelmind.jpgDon’t you think Jerry Manuel should at least get one Spring Training game under his belt before naming a kid as his starting left fielder?

  • We understand that the firing of Rangers’ head coach Tom Renney is news
    right now, but do we really have to listen to New York sports talk
    radio hosts talk about hockey, especially since they have absolutely no
    clue about the sport?

  • Should we really care how much money Jim Calhoun is making?

  • Is there anything more overrated than the NFL combine?

  • Are we bad people because we base our dislike for Mickey Rourke solely on his silly appearance?

  • When will people start to recognize .OPS as the correct way to assess a batter’s ability (instead of batting average)?

  • Are you as disinterested in the WBC as we are?

If you haven’t heard a Randy Moller goal call yet, what are you waiting for? The voice of the Florida Panthers makes John Sterling sound like Bob Uecker’s color guy in the Major League movies. Enjoy this Randy Moller goodness:

Verdict: Montreals retro jerseys way too loud

2 Feb

Hey Canadiens: would you mind turning down the volume on those jerseys?

Throw back or not, this misuse of materials should be sanctioned by the NHL, or at the very least, the fashion police. Where are you when we need you, E! channel? Honestly, when fans’ eyes throw up numerous times during a game, it’s time to shove those ugly jerseys into a burning barrel and forget they ever existed.

canadiansuglyj450.jpgOn a serious note, don’t these jerseys make you believe Montreal used the guy on the “Get Out of Jail Free” card from Monopoly as the inspiration?

Former NHL Ranger being hunted by Jack Bauer

2 Dec

Former New York Ranger Sean Avery was suspended indefinitely by the NHL for saying naughty things about his former flame, “24” star Elisha Cuthbert, during a morning skate with his new team, the Dallas Stars. 
What was so bad, you ask? We wouldn’t dare utter the phrase, but let’s just say that we wouldn’t be surprised if Jack Bauer is taking time out of his busy schedule to plot some revenge for the slur. 
But we can’t leave you in the dark, so we’ve put something together that should help illustrate what the term was…

Get the idea now?  If not, refer to that Google thing the kids are talking about. It’s all over that.

Surfing the Web

14 Nov

It’s Friday, and you know what that means – stop being so productive at work and surf the web. Here are some links that might help you get started:

The Hockey Hall of Fame ceremony was held at, none other than, Steve’s place. (The Onion)

Gilbert Arenas believes in change. Don’t believe him? Shake his hand. (Intentional Foul)

The TV Sports Theme Song Quiz will have you scratching your head. (Mental Floss)

The Blazers Dancers have gotten new outfits. Truth is that we really don’t care. But the fact that they are new means that it’s news and gives us the opportunity to link to some beautiful babies, as Vince Vaughn would say in Swingers. (Blaze of Love)

NBA jerseys: There’s been some bad ones over the past 10 years. (Bad Jerseys)

YouTube Video of the Day
Ok, so it’s really from ESPN. But we can’t give up our awesome branding of “YouTube Video of the Day,” especially since its been in existence since, like, October. Thanks to the YES web guy for sending us this link.
