Inside the mind of The Max, part 6

11 Mar

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.

  • ned.jpgWho’s gonna tell the Netherlands that they misspelled their own name on their WBC uniforms?
  • Now that Joba Chamberlain had a good start (against the Reds Tuesday), can we all stop worrying about if he’s going to be any good this season?
  • Should we instead focus on CC Sabathia getting knocked around by the Tigers today (sarcasm)?
  • Did you know that if a WBC game goes into extra innings, baserunners are automatically placed on first and second base? No joke. Sounds more dumb than the NFL’s overtime rules.
  • When will NFL teams stop giving Terrell Owens opportunities? Poor Trent Edwards.
  • Is it OK that we lost just a little bit of respect for Lawrence Taylor after watching him on Dancing with the Stars?
  • If Sean Avery isn’t going to be the same controversial Sean Avery, shouldn’t the Rangers just send him packing … again? No sense in employing a bruiser if he’s gonna act like a girl.
  • Why aren’t you following us on Twitter?

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?

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.

Beware of Averys get-rich-quick scheme

4 Dec

Hockey players have to buy holiday gifts too, which puts the newly out-of-commission Sean Avery in a pickle as the time to drop cash on Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa presents rapidly approaches.

But Avery is as innovative as he is annoying and lewd. Rather than sit around and collect dust during his hiatus from the Dallas Stars for vulgar comments geared towards one of his ex-flames (Full story), the former New York Rangers’ instigator has opened his own dot-com business that promises to help guys have their former girlfriends hate them half as much as the entire United States hates Sean Avery right now.

We copped this card from a dude who was passing them out on the street near MSG the other night. Now that we think of it, that dude could very well have been Avery.

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.
