Spoiled kids tend to make bad managers at daddy’s businesses:

Hank Steinbrenner tried to light a fire under his below-par team Tuesday when he told the Post that it was time for the team with the highest payroll in baseball to “earn that money.”

He went on to add:
Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Post for Wednesday’s editions that he was prepared to fix his Yankees “by force” if needed. That could be taken as a threat toward general manager Brian Cashman, but he said Wednesday he’s staying focused on the task at hand.

I think it’s a bit crazy in a day and age of omni-present cameras not to use instant replay to get the right call. Yesterday’s disallowed goal was a bit of a black eye for the league. But I digress.

It’s one thing to miss a penalty or icing etc., but a goal? Come on people.
