Most of you know by now that George Steinbrenner (long time owner of the New York Yankees a.k.a The Evil Empire) passed away today following a heart attack. So of course ESPN is all over this and has made it a huge story considering that theres not much else to cover other than yesterdays home run derby. But what Im hearing is most about is how much he meant to the franchise, in both negative and positive ways. But when the ESPN analysts are asked to compare current owners to Steinbrenner, there's 2 names that come up most often; Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones (And Jerry Buss, Lakers owner but who cares about him). So 2 owners that are synonymous with doing whatever it takes to win and having a true passion for their teams are both representatives of Dallas franchises. No matter how bad its been the past 5 years with choketastic results, at least we know that we've tried.....
Just try harder......
