You know George as painful as it is I've had to let a few people go over the years: Yogi Berra, Lou Piniella, Bucky Dent, Billy Martin, Dallas Green, Dick Howser, Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Stump Merrill, Billy Martin, Bob Lemon, Billy Martin, Gene Michael, Buck Showalter...
@03030303 I remember. And actually, this is the one you're talking about. They just dubbed in Steinbrenner (or someone with his voice) to switch from "You're fired" to "You're hired", after he did rehire Martin for the umpteenth time.
These guys hated each other at times, but had a lot in common. Kind of co-dependents too. Would almost always root against Yanks, but I miss them. Yanks today may be good, but boring by comparison
LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I put 27 of 'em there...you suckers know why. :D
I remember watching the "Bronx is Burning" on nut-ass ESPN back in the summer of '07 and this commercial was reenacted in a episode. Obviously, it was during that historic '77 season. I remember Billy (John Turturro) flirting with this cute brunette (make-up chick or an extra, could've been a DEAD-sox groupie or some shit) behind-the-scenes of the commercial, and George (Oliver Platt) thought Billy...
@BrooklynEagle I was a teen in the summer of '77. And I could not watch "The Bronx is Burning" without squirming in my chair the whole time. Every thing that happened in that mini-series...all of it...every word was the truth. That is EXACTLY how it all went down. Except there was no Jason Giambi looking cab driver who called out to Reggie. Everything else was spot on.
@arkady714 the only problem i had with that show was they made billy a HUGE cowboy even though he managed for 2 yrs in Texas, he was born and raised in Oakland and managed the yankees lol
...was mad late and started to flip out. Lol! I think George "smoothed" out his wiggy-looking hair, too! I bet the real George did that a lot back in the 70's. I wasn't too crazy with actor who did Steinbrenner (Platt). But I guess he was the only dude with his face. Billy Martin (Turturro) was right on the even money! He was fuckin' perfect! That man is a great actor.
LONG LIVE THE 1977 WORLD CHAMPIONS--THE BRONX ZOO, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That's right, 27 again!)
Nice dubbing. They had to change "hired" to "fired" and back every 3 months or so. They should have thought about that before they got those two bozo's to do the add.
@faffaflunkie you're an idiot, that's the point of the commercial, the constant hirings and firings of Billy martin had become pop culture and humorous
@faffaflunkie -they were a comedy act together. Although the act started to get old by the mid-1980s. George wsa such a buffoon in those days---Yanks never won a pennant after 1981, until 1996
To ALL........ the red Sox fans. If it wasn't for Mr. George M. Steinbrenner, the Red Sox would have never won the world series in 2004 and in 2007. Your owner would have never spent the money to buy their players to keep up with the Yankees if it wasn't for "The Boss". So please........ be thankful to Mr. Steinbrenner, because if it wasn't for him.......... you still wouldn't have won a world series. Always be careful on what you complain about.
The worst thing that has ever happened to baseball - it has ruined America's past time and pushed the NFL way ahead of baseball - thanks George - you suck.
@fawkyou3 Thats it. I gave you a warning. It's Done. You know why the Boss was able to steal the leagues talent. It's because your owners where f*#ching retarded. Of coarse he was going to get the best. Real recognizes real (good Players). The boss wanted to win and your owners DID NOT. There are winners in life and your team was not one of the winners. SORRY! The Yankees will be well off after me and you are long gone. FACT OF LIFE. Learn from the Boss and write your insignificant owners.
@ADrockstar22 The Yankees always win from cheating and overcharging their fans for a team that has won only one World Championship since 2000.They hired sterioded mersonary players like Alex Rodriguez,Roger Clemens,Andy Pettitt,etc to use performance enhancing drugs to defeat their oposition.
George Steinbrenner actualy had his first heart attack when he attempted to swallow all 12 inches of Reggie Jacksons big black dick while Yogi Berra was fucking him in his ass back in 1977 in the Yankees clubhouse.
@fawkyou3 That the best you got, faggot? Give me a break. You got owned and you come back with some lame racist gay joke that is supposed to offend me? As a troll you fail badly and as a human being you fail epically. Do everyone a favor and destroy your internet connection so we don't have to read your dumb fucking comments again. Thanks.
@yiassoufile you gap toothed worthless weasel squeezing fuckstain,If I wanted any lip from you I would have scrapped it off of my scrotum.Didnt your mother ever teach you its impolite to type with your mouthfull?
@fawkyou3 Are you getting angry, dipshit? Do I sense a little anger coming from your tiny fingers and through your shitty keyboard? Don't worry, I wont have the opportunity to actually meet you and beat the living shit out of you for being a pussy and trashing a dead guy behind a computer screen. You don't have to hide behind the couch in your mother's basement. You can go outside and breathe some fresh air. You can also being an embarrassment to your family. Take care, queerbait.
The boss is in heaven right now firing Billy Martin and re-hiring him. For all those who hate does it feel good that your baseball teams are all second rate teams. Your teams could disappear in the night and less than a hand full of people would even notice. I am glad that the Boss made your life miserable by winning all the time. Makes my life complete that you haters hate.
I don't call 18 years between championships "winning all the time". Once they won in 1996, he was smart enough not to break them up like he had past teams, but any idiot could have figured that out. Then when they couldn't perform in the offseason after a few years, he went back to being clueless.
@theknightswhosay. 7 championships for the Boss. Who has come even close to winning championships at that rate? 9 straight American East division titles that ended in 2007. 27 championships in Yankee history and the Boss was responsible for 7 of them. How many struggling insignificant teams championships can you add up that would equal 7 let alone 27. Even with that 18 year drought the Boss is the definition of success and winning.
@ADrockstar22 The Yankees won by stealing other peoples home grown talent.Reggie Jackson,Dave Winfield,Goose Gossage,Don Gulllett,Tommy John,Dent,etc in the seventies were all players who Steinbrenners stole from other franchises who didnt have a $5 million dollar a year Television deal.The Yankees went 13 years without even winning their division 1981-1994 and 18 years without winning a World Series 1979-1995.The Yankees have ridden the Jeter/Rivera/Posada/Pettitt wagon but its almost over.
Zamparini, an Italian owner of Football club Palermo is almost identical to George's character. I have never watched a baseball game, but I've seen a lot of George on T.V. on Seinfeld and The bronx is burning and I must admit I loved the guy.
Billy belongs in the Hall of Fame with George. In fact they should go in together. Billy Martin had one of the greatest baseball minds in the game. Yes, he had his problems off the field but I would go to war with him any day of the week. If there is a heaven Billy, Scooter and Mickey were probably the first to greet the boss.
@doggieman1961 Don't worry about Perryloope. He's from the Netherlands! I reminded him his Country lost the World Cup Final. I would not have done that, IF he wouldn't have said those uncalled for, disgusting comments on George Steinbrenner. Anyways, VIVA ESPANA!! YES!
@Perryloope. You're jumping up and down because George Steinbrenner is dead? That speaks about who u r! I'm jumping up and down too! But not about a human being that died. The reason I'm jumping up and down is because the Netherlands lost to Spain! HAHA. I see on your profile you're from the Netherlands. Lol. Oh well, maybe the Orange can win in 2014. NOT! Brazil will win in their home country! So now we're way into the future in 2018. Maybe then. Maybe not! Your Country had their BEST chance!
@jimmm7339ki3456 I'm actually part Spanish for your info my dad is from Mallorca but i hate Spain and Queen Sofia ella es una Puta cabrona pendeja even my Spanish DAD left the conquistadores. Espana que chinge su madre.
Yes, Billy, again. George, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, you can now have Babe Ruth on your team. And Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, etc. The bad news is, the Devil called, he wants to challenge you to a game, and he's got all the umpires. And Ty Cobb.
There were two different takes: one where Steiny says "you're hired" & another where he says "you're fired". - playing on how frequently George would re-hire & re-fire him
@70sman ummm obviously you dont know your yankee history billy martin was ALWAYS drunk & he drank scotch when he did drink beer it was bud which is still crappy beer but its better than miller lite
Billy's obviously drunk in this take, he's slurring his speech and trying his best to not let it show! Classic man!! Must have had a lot of Miller Lite's during the shoot! LOL!!!!
