Former New York Yankee owner, George Steinbrenner died at the age of 80 on Tuesday July 13th. Steinbrenner is arguably the most remarkable owner in Major League Baseball history, because of his personality and his ability to turn a failure into a success.

The Yankees did a great job honoring Steinbrenner before their game against the Tampa Bay Rays, which they received the victory, 5-4 with center fielder, Curtis Granderson getting the walk off run. Steinbrenner recently retired and he passed the torch to his two sons Hal and Hank Steinbrenner.

Major League Baseball lost a great owner in Steinbrenner, but I had a enough of everyone talking about this topic. Some of these networks (without mentioning names) were all over this guy like it was the president that passed away.

I understand how much Steinbrenner meant to the Yankees, but I don’t believe having a two hour show with nothing but Steinbrenner topics was good. That’s poor television and choosing more topics should have been the way to go.

Seattle Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll made a guest appearance on a show to discuss topics about his book and the first five questions were about Steinbrenner, a person that never influence the game of football. There’s a lot to talk about with Carroll, such as, USC football controversy, first season as the head coach of the Seahawks, LenDale White getting released from the Seahawks, and the first question they have is about Steinbrenner.

Steinbrenner is a huge figure in sports, but lets give it a break.
