George Steinbrenner died yesterday. He was arguably one of the greatest owners in pro sports and certainly one of the most controversial. I didn't know he got an early start as a football coach in Big Ten country. But, he was also a multi-million dollar booster to the Florida Gators, so fuck him (just kidding...sort of...). Anyway, this is how I'll always remember him:
I don't think it would be going too far to say he was both a great owner and a prick. He might even shoulder that dichotomy with pride. Suffice it to say that it's sad when anyone dies.
