Media Curmudgeon

Your blog about the Yankees being terrified of losing because of the tirade that George Steinbrenner would deliver was indeed a huge stretch. These chumps make 10 million bucks a year not running out fly balls and shooting steroids in order to hit over 700 career home runs. I doubt they ever once thought about Georgie Poo yelling at them. If they don't play for the Yankess making $10 million a year, they can always play for the Dodgers as their career winds down, make $12 million a year for 2 years, get hurt half way through the season, collect the check, and retire.

The fact is: The Red Sox did not quit. But as I started reading your blog, I knew you would tie the Yankee story into a business/management lesson. It's stories like that that kept me showing up for your 7:40am Media Management class at Mizzou.
