    There's proof the man is still alive right?


    Cause, you know, I'd like to get down to St. Pete to dance on his grave if he's already dead.

    So Big Stein cedes power after it becomes clear he is no longer capable of running things himself. Say what you want about the man, but at least he's ending things differently than Al Davis.


    And its worth noting that when he took over the club they had already pretty much become a "laughing stock" -perhaps even more so than they may area ccused of being be now because they were perennial cellar dwellers in the AL. At least now most of the hatred comes from jealousy and the ridicule when they don't win comes as much from relief as anything else by those who got used to losing to them.

    @Paul Zuvella: Well, I think "cedes" is a nice way of saying "had it decided it for him by those who are currently providing for his care." I think the difference between George and Al Davis is that Al is still mentally fit. I mean, all indications are that George has Alzheimers. I don't think he's doing this willingly.

    Nothing is more limited than George Steinbrenner's current limited capacity.

    In the past twenty years, you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduced them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego.


    So long, fuckbag.

    @Doyle McPoyle: Doyle, The Big Stein tried to buy the Tribe before he owned the Yankees. He went to close the deal and Vernon Stouffer was too drunk and belligerent to sign the papers. Trust me, warts and all, you did just fine with George.

    @Doyle McPoyle: I agree with that. Why don't the Portugese get their snooty noses out of the air and speak fucking Spanish like the rest of the spics. Ooh, ooh, you speak retarded Spanish, we're all so impressed. Give it up already. Bunch of dyslexic spic retards. How did the battle for Tangier work out for you? You fuckers couldn't even hang on to Madagascar. Heh. Losers.
