RIP George Steinbrenner

[Gyp Rosetti]

Steinbrenner was the most important, most influential person in American sports over the past 35 years.

Marvin Miller and Bowie Kuhn have gotta be up there.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

He's not. Most guys know who he is, but ask kids, woman, and people don't follow sports if they know who he is cause I bet you most don't. After you ask them, go ahead and ask them if they know who Phelps, Armstrong, and all the other guys I listed are. Those guys are household names, although Steinbrenner's death is getting more air time than MJ's right now. At least it seems like that.

Ask a woman who that Van Sloot kid is and I bet they know. Does that make the kid any more or less influential?

Marvin Miller and Bowie Kuhn have gotta be up there.

I'll give you Miller. Not Kuhn. He only battled Miller, plus he slept for much of his time.

So do you disagree with the guys I listed? Why?

Yeah, I figured Kuhn could have negotiated and changed the landscape of free agency, most likely for the better, more than he did. But I hear you.

So do you disagree with the guys I listed? Why?

How have Lance Armstrong, Carl Lewis and a couple other of your numbnuts influenced sports more than say a Marvin Miller?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

It's laughable really. I can't believe I'm wasting my fingers on this.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

I also disagree with you because you're an easy target.

Really?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Really?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Wake the **** up Archie. Seriously.

 

[VINYLONE]

Wake the **** up Archie. Seriously.

Wow.

Gauntlet. Thrown.
