Most fans, especially those that hate George, would take him in a minutes as their team owner, because he is not cheap and wants to win. Vinnie S. |

People have owners that that don't spen money, and bitch about it. Then the bitch about owners that do spend money. Well, which is it? Our payroll may be less than 50 million this year, what will the Yankees be? Most fans, especially those that hate George, would take him in a minutes Are you kidding?!?! He's from Cleveland, and made many millions here. as their team owner, because he is not cheap and wants to win. He has SO MUCH cable and broadcast TV revenue that he's not spending one red cent of his own money, with these high ticket player additions. Smell the pasta, Enzo. You guys have a very unfair advantage. MLB needs a hard cap that's similar to the one the NFL uses. (NBA too) -- http://NewsReader.Com 30 GB/Month |

Many other owners don't Most fans, especially those that hate George, would take him in a minutes Are you kidding?!?! He's from Cleveland, and made many millions here. And from what I read, that business went belly up. as their team owner, because he is not cheap and wants to win. He has SO MUCH cable and broadcast TV revenue that he's not spending one red cent of his own money, with these high ticket player additions. Most owners don't spend their own money. He doesnt either. Besides. He built that with no help from the other teams. Why should he have to share it? The NFL was built essentially by the commish in the 1960's. Same with Bird, Majic, and Jordan, in the 1980's. Steinbrenner buil the Yankees himself. Wh should he have to share it? Smell the pasta, Enzo. You guys have a very unfair advantage. MLB needs a hard cap that's similar to the one the NFL uses. (NBA too) I have to remind you, the current CBA, which was approved by every team except the Yankees, was geared only against the yankees, when it was implimented. The Threshold for luxury tax was set so only the Yankees would go over. Would you call that an unfair advantage? Your problem is not the Yankees. It is the small markets and Bud Selig. The lowest payroll teams get all the revenue sharing and luxury tax money, and are not required to spend none of it. SO why would the owner impliment a cap in this league, when that would essentially cap the millions of free money they get from George, and on top of that, be required to spend millions in payroll? There will never be a cap. They love getting free millions, and they love the fact they don't have to spend any of it. The problem is the mid-market teams, like the O's, Rangers, Tribe, who would love to spend revenue sharing, but their payrolls are too high to qualify. Like I said, the Yankees are not the problem.

But when you say he throws 'his money into them' you're talking about media generated funds. That's not money out of his own pocket. He started the YES network. He was not the first. Boston had NESN. Atlanta has TBS. But everyone only wants his money. This year, the Mets are following suit with their own network. You want to punish him because he is resourceful and creative? The only reason it is tolerated can be explained in two letters. Guess which? I am not going to argue that the balance is too great in one direction. You are right. There needs to be a better balance. But he is playing by the rules for which the other owners set up. He didn't agree to those rules. The Yankees were the only team to vote no on the current CBA. Regarding the NFL and NBA, they are poor examples because neither you nor my football (Jets, Browns), or basketball (Knicks, Cavs) teams, had any championship in recent history. In fact, in the NBA since 1980, 6 teams have 24 championships. The Lakers, Bulls, Celts, Pistons, Spurs, and Rockets. That doesn't look like balance to me. How do you think the LA clippers feel about balance? When are my knicks going to win? What about the Jets? Before herm, they were a league doormat for 25 years. BTW, I went you the ESPN website to see what the Tribe spent. It was 34 million, 3rd from the bottom. I would also like for you to know that Jim Dolan, the brother of the owner of the Tribe, is so dead set against the Jets getting a stadium on the west side, that he offered 600 million for the land that the Jets want. And he is the guy that essentially owns the Tribe, Knick, Rangers, MSG. I don't know about you, but if he spends 34 million on your payroll, and has 600 million for land just to keep the jets out, Steinbrenner isn't the problem. Vinnie S. |

He doesn't move the rich man meter in real life, so to say everyone only wants his money is a real stretch. The Browns owner (Lerner)is worth real writing home about money. The difference is in the TV revenue. You can't admit that? This year, the Mets are following suit with their own network. Two Bogart's now, right Randy? -- http://NewsReader.Com 30 GB/Month |

Well, the small market want and get his money. The difference is in the TV revenue. You can't admit that? TV revenue he created. Sure I admit it. That revenue wasn't their until he signed a 500 million cable deal, in 1987. That was 14 years *after* he purchased the Yankees. And of all that money in 1987, he didn't win a championship until 9 years later. Now shut up, and good night. We will talk tomorrow !!!!! Vinnie S. |
