BayNews9 reported that. You only live once, and obviously George ate what he wanted, but it allowed him to share his wealth.

You can’t compare MLB and the NFL. Steinbrenner couldn’t have spent the same money on the Bucs as he did on the Yankees. That style has been proven faulty by Dan Snyder.

Everyone loves Tony Dungy right? Well you can bet your ass that Steinbrenner wouldn’t have hired an unproven Defensive Coordinator.

Had George bought the Bucs we would have had the same success, if not more! Just one look at the Yankees tells us what life with the Bucs would have been like. RIP George! You will be missed!

Costanza – Hope you enjoyed the Calzone. …Quite certain Steinbrenner structured his bid so he specifically was not the majority owner to comply with the cross-ownership rules. ….Much the like the Glazers were toying with when they were interested in the Dodgers.

I respected his penchant for giving charitable donations without a fanfare of publicity, unlike some pro sports team owners who feel compelled to toot their own horn.

C’mon, Fire Greg Olson. I think you’re being way too sensitive. Just looking at — in two paragraphs — how the last 15 years would might have been different under Steinbrenner. Joe simply stated the obvious: he probably wouldn’t have had the success the Glazers had and would have spent more than them in recent years.

RIP to “The Boss”, thanks for all you did for Baseball specifically, Sports in general and Tampa always…

He was always such a gentleman and everyone was in awe of him and enjoyed being part of the evening.

George did so many charitable things in the area, not from a publicity standpoint, but from his heart. A very sad day, indeed.
