 My Precious Pennies
The more I think about Dr. John York,
the more I think about Gollum. You know
that rat like creature who was obsessed with a gold ring.
I guess I have watched a little too much of
the Lord of the Ring trilogies.
I envision Dr. York, once a good man, now in the later stages
of life obsessed about his pennies, his precious pennies.
No postage for you. No
water for you. These are my pennies. They all belong to me.
Now I have received a few emails from York
supporters stating that I have the good Doctor all wrong and that he
has been
very supportive of charities. That is
all well and good. I have read much
about the good Doctor's philanthropy and I hope he keeps it up. And I am confident that he has hired a very
good CPA who reminds him that giving away some pennies has many tax
benefits.
Yet when it comes to the Forty-Niners, Dr. York loves to count all of
his
precious pennies. When Dr. York took
control of the Forty Niners, one of his favorite
lines was that there were no accounting procedures in
place under Eddie.
As my grandma says, Horsepuckey!
 How did people get
paid? How did the bills get paid? How
did Eddie cash those NFL and the numerous playoff checks?
And how did he pay for all of those Super Bowl
rings?
There was a system, just not Dr. John York’s
precious pennies system. No postage for
you. No water for you.
These are my pennies. They
all belong to me.
So as I sat through another debacle last Sunday against the
Rams, I kept hearing, “My precious pennies. These are my pennies. They all belong to me.”
I've got to stop watching Lord of the Rings.
