I'll give it to Samson. He atleast came on the show to take a massive L. Most shytty presidents aren't doing that. Billy hit him with nothing but facts.

He regurgitated the same shyt we’ve heard since 2012. Mike has confronted Sampson with the same “facts” and he’s said the same thing. He is right. He’s not beholden to the fans. He only answers to one person. Billy was way too super emotional.

billy hit samson with facts and ether, but samson juelz'ed the shyt outta it so i can't tell if he took an L or not

I don’t even think it’s a matter of either of em being right or wrong. Samson a known scumbag and Billy a previously hurt fan - both things can be true.
I obv don’t care or have any connection either way but was to listen to.

Nah, Samson took the L on this one, which is difficult, because Billy had a few argument enders lined up, and just couldn't pull it off. Proof positive was that Billy was calm the entire time, but Samson IMMEDIATELY started going in with a condescending and/or patronizing tone, and talking down to him at every turn.
Billy's argument is simple: Samson gotta shut the fukk up tryna party on Jeter failing, because if we look at both of them objectively, they both failed.
Samson's response was basically just to go down the standard argument circle of someone who thinks they're smarter than everyone else, and wants to make you angry enough to raise your voice so that someone else breaks it up.
Every single argument he has is a loop of "You can't tell me about what I do, because you didn't do it", and then refuses to expound when you cede the floor so that they can explain, followed by an extended explanation of standard to intermediate business terms, and then repeating the loop.
Edit: And them having to explain to Samson the basic concept of Jackie Robinson Day is the cherry on the "this guy's a fukking idiot" sundae.

You'd take the victory lap too if you guessed exactly what was going to happen and it came to fruition. He's not even partying on Jeter's failure, but the fact he fleeced him and the majority owner. They thought they could come in and do better simply by not being Loria/Samson and they've failed spectacularly so far. Worse record in the Majors since taking ownership. Listen, I'm Guillermo Mafia IV Life but this ain't the W a lot of folks are making it out to be. And the fact he tried to hold that COVID season up as some sort of accomplishment is reaching. Billy can't tell me that he had higher hopes for the next season based off of that year. And again, NOTHING was broken here. We've heard David explain EVERYTHING (minus the Jeter firing) that Billy was angry about.

This is nothing new in sportsNever knew Samson was over the team because his step dad owned the team...
Is this true?
The Rooney's, the Jones' family here in Dallas, Shanahan and Hoodie having their kids on staff. It has been that way since the beginning. That's why I lol'd at Passan going to that as if he was dunking on Samson. He wouldn't call out the Hal Steinbrenner since he only got his position within his father's org the same way. David is just an easy target since he's vocal and arrogant afBut that's what I mean by him trying to flex basic knowledge as him being much smarter than everyone else. He's basing it off of him (allegedly) having seen Jeter's contract, and the pattern of nearly every baseball team acquisition over the last while.
I will give Samson credit where it's due, though: Billy's argument was that it doesn't make sense to try to celebrate Jeter failing, when Samson is basically just pointing out that they both sucked. Samson flipped that into presenting Billy's argument as Samson saying he gets to say he was better than Jeter, when all he was saying is that he dislikes them both because neither was good.

Basic knowledge you would think Billy would have came into the debate knowing as well. Not that David strikes me as the type but there's only so many times you can rehash the same thing over and over and over, especially on the same show. He's discussed this time and previously how involved Loria was as an owner and the new guy is pretty hands off and had to get info filtered through Jeter. Take Jeffrey to task instead of the easy piñata. I don't doubt he didn't see the contract. Mike Hill is still in the FO as well as others who were under the old regime.
