SI's Best & Worst Owners

[r08kessl]

I don't understand how in the baseball section the author praises the Steinbrenner's as some of the best owners in baseball due to their spending copius amounts of money to ring in top tier talent, when in the same article the author derides Dan Snyder under the came criteria. Obviously the sports are different, and there really isn't a salary cap in baseball, but how is all the new high priced talent on the Yankees working out? Also on the subject of other sports, how is Ted Leonsis, the man who made the Caps the most exciting/ hottest ticket in DC not among the best owners in the NHL. Just saying.

Great first post. All good points.

It's all about winning man, the media is a POS. If we were winning Peter King and everyone would be all up on DS's nuts.
