The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He criticized the extravagant lifestyle of Derek Jeter while enjoying an extravagent lifestyle of his own paid for by his father's wealth.
    He equated baseball's revenue sharing policy with Communism and/or Socialism.
    Even though the Boston Red Sox drew large crowds for road games, he contended they did not have a national fan base.
    He complained about Major League Baseball's divisional setup after the Yankees failed to make the playoffs because they played in the league's toughest division (2008).
    He smokes excessively.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Unlike his father, he claimed he did not want to run the Yankees organization by fear.
    Regarding revenue sharing, he may have had a point about large market teams bankrolling smaller market teams.
    He bred horses at his family's Florida farm complex for more than 20 years before taking over the Yankees.
    A comment he made about liking actress Jennifer Love Hewitt provided ammunition for sports bloggers everywhere.
    He claimed he didn't intend to single out Derek Jeter when he made a comment about his players being too busy building mansions, adding it was 'a bad choice of a euphemism.'
