ESPN will still be Yankees' Daddy, in spite of weak slap on the wrist

ESPN apparently once again violated so-called rules for disseminating Yankee content, so a Yankee PR guy very apologetically pulled rank on ESPN guys for a moment. Neil Best's Watchdog tells the story. As I posted in October, 2006, ESPN did a much more dramatic end run around the Yankees and YES Network and said the same thing. In effect, tough. We do what we want. ESPN doesn't care about the Yankees--they know there's no one in charge there and hasn't been for awhile.
