Steinbrenner had a huge role in revitalizing the U.S. Olympic program.

As much as he was brash and obnoxious he does deserve a salute in resurrecting the Yankees team that floundered before he came in.

May he fuck his own face for all eternity wherever he may be.

I don't think that's going to fit on the flower arrangement.

Until the owners decide to share those big market giant tv contracts, MLB will continue to be a joke. It's criminal what happened to our national past time during Steinbrenner's era. And Bud Selig is every bit as dumb as he looks.

Is this better or worse than Tim Russert dying?

The Steinbrenner I'll always remember was the one in Seinfeld.

I just read he bought the Yankees for 8.3 million with $150,000 of his own money. The franchise is worth $1.6 billion today.

the lesson here being that not even 1.6 billion will help you fuck your own face any better when you're dead.

I admit I celebrated when he was banned from baseball the second time. I even took joy as the franchise rebounded in his absence. I did eventually learn to regret that. Stupid, competent Stick Michaels and Bob Watson. Damn Yankees.

The only good Yankee was Sparky Lyle from the Bronx Zoo days. And he hated George in a friendly kind of way.

the best yankee was Ted nugent.......damn yankees.

thought it was funny that the day he died, the nationals (the underdog) won the All Star game.
