MR. STEINBRENNER: Nice to meet you.

GEORGE: Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past twenty years you have caused myself, and the city of New York, a good deal of distress, as we have watched you take our beloved Yankees and reduced them to a laughing stock, all for the glorification of your massive ego!

MR. STEINBRENNER: Hire this man!

It’s not likely in “real life” that anyone would be able to get a job with the Yankees if this were a real conversation.

And I’m no more to getting a writing gig with ESPN any more than Isiah Thomas will stay with the Kni…  Well, maybe that’s not a good example.

Anyway, if you don’t know by now, today’s earlier post about joining ESPN.com and NBA.com is nothing more than delusions of granduer.

I really didn’t think too many people would buy it.  Especially since PCA’s first comment gives it away.  But props to him for letting me know that an earlier gag post about one of the Wiz players getting busted for prositution might tip too many people off.

So April Fool’s to everyone.  Looks like I got a majority of you.  And that includes Henry Abbott of TrueHoop.  He might have had a small heart attack.  More on that some other time.

But thanks for thinking that I could have written for the WWL.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
