The man is well into his 70's and has totally pulled back from being in public. Rumors abound that he may be suffering from Alzheimer's. He's collapsed in public on more then one occasion in the past few years. (Otto Grahms funeral, and at his grand daughters preformance at a play she was in an UNC Chappel Hill for examples) Gary Shefield complained publicly that he would of remained with the Yankee's if only he could personally talk to Steinbrenner, which he was denied. How much does the Boss have left? Is he in any way running the team anymore? Who succeeds him when he dies?
Supposedly Swindal is next in line. I love George and I hate him, I love that he cares so much about winning but I hate when he gets involved b/c he only screws things up. Thankfully he was suspended in the early 90s or we wouldn't have had our latest dynasty.
Junc have you been in a cave about Swindal? He is divorcing Steinbrenner's daughter. The last son-in-law that divorced a Steinbrenner daughter, Joe Malloy, went from being a general partner in the Yankees to an assistant principal in a middle school in Tampa.
:rofl: There goes THAT percentage point. Junc, how could you not know that? Everyone knows the deal with Swindal at this point. It was even all over the news.
In junc's defense he was away on vacation when word of this went down. I hope that the Dolan's buy the Yankees then Alio will become a Red Sox fan, as for junc then he'd be able to come out of the closet and pledge his allegiance to is favorite New York Team the Mets....
How do you divorce Steinbrenners daughter? That is like saying thanks but no thanks to the lottery winnings you just won..
I heard he is already dead. They have his brain frozen in Tampa. That is a look-a-like that rushes in and out of the stadium.
Actually Steinbrenner's daughter divorced Swindal... A DUI on Valentines Day/Night... That's how you lose being the heir to The Boss...Moron, oh well, his loss.
http://deadspin.com/sports/weekend-...has-employees-who-use-fax-machines-256721.php Corpse Of Steinbrenner Still Has Employees Who Use Fax Machines 0 Views steinbrennercorpse.jpgLook out, Yankees! George Steinbrenner is filing some strongly worded memos! "The season is still very young, but up to now the results are clearly not acceptable to me or to Yankee fans," Steinbrenner said in a statement released through his personal PR man, Howard Rubenstein. "However, Brian Cashman our general manager, Joe Torre our manager and our players all believe that they will turn this around quickly. I believe in them. I am here to support them in any way to help them accomplish this turnaround." "It is time to put excuses and talk away. It is time to see if people are ready to step up and accept their responsibilities. It is time for all of them to show me and the fans what they are made of. Let's get going. Let's go out and win and bring a world championship back to New York. That's what I want." As always, Steinbrenner was nowhere to be seen, talking instead through faxed press releases. We have decided we've had about enough of this silliness. Everyone likes to believe that Steinbrenner is the overlording godfather, looming above everyone and firing thunderbolts down at the mere mortals. But that Steinbrenner hasn't existed in a decade. He's just a sick, old man, protected and shielded with a myth, whom we suspect isn't even aware much anymore that the Yankees are even playing. He dodders down there in Tampa and occasionally propped up for public appearances. Why people still play around and humor this notion that Steinbrenner is a presence anymore is confounding. Perhaps we need Steinbrenner, we need to believe that baseball owners aren't just faceless corporations who care far more about their revenue sharing and online media deals than whether their team wins or loses. But it's not true: Steinbrenner is a mirage from an older time, hiding behind press releases so we don't see how decrepit he has really become. Perhaps it's time to give up the ghost.
3000 YEARS. HE IS IMMORTAL. ^ probably the answer the mets and redsox fans expect to hear to satisfy their thurst for more yankee hating...
