I bet the fans in New York have no problem with the Yanks, and I would have no problem with the Saints buying a championship every year. Sure the Yankees have the highest payroll in baseball, but i\'d be willing to bet that 50 % is going to guys that aren\'t even playing for them right now (i.e. mondesi). As a matter of fact, I disagree that the Yankees buy a championship, I think they buy a trip to the postseason. The championships are won with confidence and heart. Guys like Scott Brosious and Tino Martinez were their fair market value, but they came through. The Yankees are about winning, and who wouldn\'t want to play for a team that believes it will win, instead of a team that believes that they will lose no matter what they do (i.e. the red sox\'s and the cubs). Steinbrenner maybe a whiner, but he puts the money he makes off of the Yankees back into the Yankees, whereas most owners are always worried about profit. (i.e. L.A. Clippers) As far as the Lakers go, they have won with Shaq and Kobe. The NBA has a cap, and until this year (when Malone and Payton signed just to try to win a championship), the lakers were probably only the fifth most talented (all around) team in the league. As far as the Rams go, I hate them because I am a saints fan. However, they didn\'t become a dynasty and never have been so I am not sure why they were thown in the mix. Nevertheless, Dick Vermeil did a great job with them and he is proving his worth again in Kansas City.

And as stupid as it sounds, which dead Yankee great tripped Kevin Millar last night?
