“ You know what? I have good ideas. In fact, I used to carry around a notebook and a pen, just to keep track. Direct marketing? I thought of that. It turned out it already existed, but I arrived at it independently. ”
Pete Campbell, Mad Men
“ Another time, Allen Watson, a relief pitcher, threw a bagel at a clubhouse attendant while goofing off in the clubhouse during spring training. Just as the bagel sailed across the room, Steinbrenner walked through the doorway. In the case of perfect timing: the flying bagel hit Steinbrenner in the chest. The clubhouse fell ominously silent. “Who threw that?” Steinbrenner Demanded. Watson raised his hand. “I did”. “I figured it was you, Watson,” Steinbrenner said. That’s why it didn’t hurt” And he kept on walking. ”
from Joe Torre and Tom Verducci’s book, “The Yankee Years”

Larry David as George Steinbrenner, singing “Heartbreaker”
“ We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston. It is understandable, but wrong that he would try to deflect the accountability for his mistakes on to others and to a system for which he voted in favor. It is time to get on with life and forget the sour grapes. ”
George Steinbrenner on the Red Sox complaints about the Yankees signing Alex Rodriguez.

I don’t think Cleveland is taking the LeBron-to-Miami news very well.
Especially this guy.
