Or if not song, then at least through a national ad campaign.:) Inspired by the Mets' woes, here's what I expect the next Real Men of Genius installment to be:
Bud Light presents: Real Men of Genius (Real Men of Geeen-ius!)
Today we salute you, Mr. New York Metropolitans Owner guy! (Mr. New York Metropolitans Own-ner guy!)
Disgraceful. Disrespectful. A whole new low. You hear these words of disdain and you wonder, "Hey, since when is a free trip to the west coast such a bad thing?" (California dreamin')
A lesser man would feel pressured to answer his critics, but not you. You respond by calling a press conference and making sure your general manager informs everyone that the firing was completely his idea. And just in case they miss it, you'll make sure he says it approximately twenty more times. (Whaddaya mean, pass the buck now?)
George Steinbrenner used to be the gold standard for classless firings in this town, but next to you he's a flower-throwing hippie. The next countdown of front office fiascos will have a new #1 and do you know who's on top? That's right trendsetter, it's all you. (You're a staaaaaaar!)
So crack open a cold one, oh chieftain of the checkbook. You've earned it. And if anyone tells you otherwise, just remember that while you can fire anyone you like via email at 3:00AM, no one can fire you. Ever. That's because you're (Mr. New York Metropolitans Owner guy.)
