      Do you know what decent people do when someone dies, Rush? They say they're sorry it happened. When you need a Sox fan to tell you that, you may be beyond hope.

        I grew up in the NY area. For years, I referred to him as "Slimebrenner". But even I am sad to mark his passing - it's the end of an era....

        And I'll never say "Slimebrenner" again.

          As another BoSox fan, I'll admit to have some perversly mixed feelings about Steinbrenner. Sure, the Yankees had a TON of success under him (which is BAD) but there were also MANY years (1979 to 1993, for example?) that he did far more harm than good. After all... it doesn't take a genius in the late 1970's to sign Catfish Hunter, Goose Gossage and Reggie Jackson (see: he's been buying WS Titles for THAT LONG!) But the team was left largely disfunctional in the 1980's, as he traded away the farm for washed-up, over-priced veterans and fired his managers every 3 months. (All of which was GOOD, LOL, from my POV!)

          But love him or hate him (and it's easy to do either whether your a Yankees fan or not) you cannot deny the impact he's had on the game and the business of sports entertainment. Anyone with a shred of class should be able to able put there personal feelings aside for a single day. I'm hardly surprised that LImbaugh was incapable of that.

      And when Rush dies, we will say, "That coward made a lot of hatred."

        Because then he'll be whining about how they are tagetting him and his drones would come out in "possibly violent or angressive) defense since rush can do no wrong.

        That makes sense. He's already got the body of Babe Ruth and the attitude of Ty Cobb, so you know he respects the greats.

      Yowzah. Mr. Creosote can drag race into anything, can't he? Wasn't a big fan of Steinbrenner nor the Yankees. Sorry to hear of his passing though.

      Hey Mr. Creosote, care to tell us how many African-Americans managed the Yankees in the 38 years Mr. Steinbrenner owned the team? That would be zero. How many African-Americans he hired as general manager? That would be one, Bob Watson (as an Astros fan, one of my favorite players) for a couple of years in the late 90s.

      More bigotry from Rush.

      What Rush is saying here in his covert way, is that a white man made the African Americans rich, and without the white man contributions they would have never made it. It's the same as the other racist argument Rush has saying that slavery benefited African Americans.

      Even in death Rush finds a way to offend.

        you know you have hit a new low when you argue that Bernie Williams made his money because Steinbrenner felt bad.

      The slow march to overt racism becoming mainstream goes on. A few short years ago, no one in the media would have said this. I'm African American, and I don't use this term to refer to anyone, but wait, you have to think about the effect of your words on others in order to refrain from saying/doing certain things, and it's been obvious for some time now that Limpy doesn't think before he speaks. I don't think he really cares whether he offends someone or not as long as the checks keep rolling in.

      Limbaugh and all his followers are really getting disgusting. It is hard to fathom how these people live with themselves at this point. There was a time when you could actually keep telling yourself he was just joking. But, that moment has passes us long ago. His listeners at this point are as sick as he is.
