George Steinbrenner’s checkbook just won a championship. That’s not a loser’s lament; just a simple statement of fact. And honestly, I don’t begrudge the Yankees for it. When you play in a city of 8.6 million people and manage to fleece the taxpayers to build you a billion dollar ballpark in the middle of a crippling economic collapse, you should spend 0 million to buy yourself a championship. It’s the least you can do. And I’m not by any means diminishing what they accomplished. I don’t care if a team buys a championship, steals it, cheats to get it or pulls out a miracle win. Winning is all that matters. You can put a footnote on the Commissioner’s Trophy or an asterisk on the Lomabardi, a French accent on the Stanley Cup or an upside down question mark on Copa Mundial, they all still look the same as every other team’s trophies.

But one thing this does prove is that given an unlimited payroll, anyone can win a championship. Which wouldn’t be such a huge revelation but for the fact that for 16 years, we kept hearing out of the Bronx that the reason the Yankees won was due to Joe Torre’s unparalleled leadership, his bottomless well of class and his uncompromising dignity. So what do the Yankee ballwashers say now that an empty uniform like Joe Girardi just won a championship. A guy who before coming to the Bronx managed one year in the bigs before getting summarily fired? The Steinbrenner family wanted to prove the point that given the unlimited budget they gave Torre, anyone can and should win a championship and they proved their point. It’s exactly analogous to what Jerry Jones did in the early 90s. He got sick of hearing what a genius Jimmy Johnson was so brought in a laughable buffoon like Barry Switzer in to replace him and won a Super Bowl. Look, Girardi got the job done and no one can take the ring off his finger. But what does this say to all the New Yorkers who groveled at Torre’s feet all these years? Who sold us this bill of goods that Torre was a genius, his example brought peace and love to the world and his tears cured cancer? The Suzyn Waldman’s who wept openly when he left New York? It says that either the Yankees found their second god-like manager in a row, or any monkey can win with a 0 million team, and I know what my money is on.

Barstool sports strikes again.

Best...I just made 100 copies of this to give out as flyers at the parade tommorrow down the "Canyon Of Zeroes"
