"I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murraugh -
That's terrible. He lived here in the Twin Cities."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson -
Sad news.....RIP buddy.

Unbelievable. Blowing leaves off his roof at 75 years old.Comment

Wow. He recently opened a new restaurant in Eden Prairie, MN - the "Original Pancake House". I've been meaning to go but haven't yet. Now I will as a memorial to Max."My problems with him are his vision and tendency to dance instead of pounding a hole." - Harvey WallbangersComment

What a way to go.
Bad news certainly rockets its way through the internet. I checked his Wikepedia entry, and it's already updated to reflect his death.--

What a shocking way to go.
Besides his athletic talents, Max was known for his incredible wit and humor. Though he partied hardy with Paul Hornung, Lombardi tolerated the antics of those two playboys because they always came ready to play.Comment

You know, his face sorta looks 75 in this action photo! Maybe its just the bulbous nose after a night out.
Damn, I know he got remarried, had some kids very late in life, I suppose the kids aren't that old. Although the years go dashing by, maybe they are grown-up now.
A wealthy 75-year old up on the roof, cleanig out the gutters.
This is the sort of thing my dad would do.
He was a REAL chracter, a perfect foil to Jim Irwin. Very sad.Comment

Everybody liked Max. This is just a very saddening event.
Many of us out of state fans remember him during his radio broadcasts.
He was a confident, humorous, guy.
He is remembered well.

Wow, what a shocker. I wonder if any team will mention him today since the Packers are not playing.

The pregame shows will defintely mention it. Other than that probably nothing.Comment

Really sad to hear of Max's passing. He was one of the many special players who made the Packers the dynasty of the 60's. I still can picture his one handed grab of Bart Starr's pass to score the 1st TD in the 1st Super Bowl. The stories of his wit & humor are legendary. He was also a pretty damn good punter in early in his career. R.I.P. Max.
