Breaking News: George Steinbrenner Dead

NYDN – New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died, a high-placed source with the team told the Daily News.
Everyone saw this coming apparently but still tough to hear when one of the largest icons in the history of the Yankees organization goes down to a massive heart attack. Love him or hate him, even the biggest idiot sports fan can admit George was one of the greatest owners in the history of sports.
good morning scott.
Thought he was dead already.
i hope he is tortured with pain before he dies.
Short post and to the point. I like the new Scott.
As a mets fan I hated this guy with a passion, but always respected what he did for the Yankees.
Too bad he didn’t buy the Mets way back when. We woulda been closer to 10 championships, instead of hunting for our 3rd.
Hey Swisher….nice try last night…after George dies, how many times are you going to stare at the sky before each pitch…
Fucking despise the man with every bone in my body.
That said, he’s the most successful owner in the history of sports, and nothing ever took precedence over winning. Gotta respect that.
thoughts and prayers to George and the Steinbrenner family
Daily News is reporting Big Stein is dead…

Cue the “I want people to pay attention to me because Daddy touched me when I was little” posts about Steinbrenner was gay and he’s going to burn in hell. Come on Thurmansfiery, that’s you.
Steinbrenner was the fucking man- and any real sports fan will tell you they might of hated him with a passion but would have loved for him to own their team. Winning always came first. RIP boss.
rip douche
Shepperd and Steinbrenner in the same week? If I were Yogi Berra I’d be pretty careful.
RIP Boss.
An owner who put everything back into his team and gave a shit about winning. Not a perfect guy – but an owner you’d want as a fan.
Thanks for the memories Boss.
Really sad..for the guy who had George Steinbrenner in the dead pool. Definitely not enough time for it to reset from Bob Sheppard.
RIP Boss.
“Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.”
Usually I will rip anything Scott says or even bash the fuck out of the Yankees.
But, for this I will not. RIP George. One of the greatest sports owners ever.
he RUINED baseball….
Costanza already assuming duties.
Next weeks dead yankee: Yogi Berra
one too many calzones from pisano’s
I dont have any idea who the team is going to, I assume his sons but I really hope they spend less cash then he did. As a fading-sox fan it always sucked having a guy with a much bigger stack of chips at the table.
danrathers, why are you a fading sox fan? that’s homo talk.
Relax Danrathers the Sox aren’t exactly sweating it in the salary department
I’m deeply saddened by this but although the greatest owner a fan could ask for has passed away, his sons are chips off the old block. I would imagine he demanded as much success from them as he did from all of his business constituents and hopefully for us Yankees fans we can look forward to another 50 years of complete and utter dominance
He’s fading because the sox are in 3rd place, which is usually what happens to boston “fans” when their team isn’t winning.
No, I just dont like how we spend money. warner and henry have a billion dollars and they give me marco scutaro and bill hall, or how ibout brad penny and john smoltz. give george a billion dollars and he gets you CC and texy.
the redsox gots hometown discounts with youk, pedrioa and lester, now they expect everyone to sign for cheap. the fucking stadium has been sold out forever, seat prices keep going up and they keep bringing in cheaper and cheaper players.
and I dont give a shit about defense and pitching, defense and pitching is an excuse for “we dont want to pay for offense”
yeah buddy, get mad, but keep paying for “Nation” cards.
who knew the old miserable bastard even had a heart?
