The Steinbrenner Interview--NY Times left out in the cold, takes predictable shots

It fell to Richard Sandomir to vent the wrath of NY Times guys like Jackie Curry and Murray Chass on having been passed over again in the Steinbrenner interview sweepstakes race. How do I know this? Because the Times sells the article by questioning George's health (whether drooling or a blubbering idiot shut-in, I mean this is what happens when the floundering NY Times gets passed by). Curry and Chass sputtered themselves last time they didn't get the interview. Why should anyone give such phonies the time of day? (especially Curry). But Sandomir has a more recent insight at the end of his article. The failure of this year's Yankee team calls into question the future of the YES Network and the new Yankee Stadium.

• I do not watch Yankee games when the team is losing. Advertising rates have to plummet. The media spin that the business is a bottomless pit of money is demonstrably false. I hope they go in the tank for no other reason than the revenue sharing and luxury tax stolen from Yankee fans and given to lazy, rich owners will decrease. Without the winning Yankee team, why keep the YES Network around? Sell that place back to ESPN, and like a smart commenter to this blog suggested:

• Mr. Steinbrenner should take the Yankee games away from YES, start a channel just for Yankees and their fans, and let the YES guys continue the crap they put on now. Which is of no interest to any half-awake Yankee fan.
