  • Inside George Steinbrenner: The Truth Behind “The Boss” + A Little UConn/St. John's Talk with Mike Vaccaro
    Apr 23 2026

    Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post joins the show to discuss his new book The Bosses of the Bronx and the fascinating legacy of George Steinbrenner. We dive into how Steinbrenner became known as “The Boss,” whether his larger-than-life persona was truly who he was or partly an act, and what most people still get wrong about one of the most polarizing figures in sports history.

    We also talk about how quickly he changed from calling himself an absentee owner at his opening press conference to becoming one of the most hands-on owners in sports, how he embraced Yankees success while enjoying Mets struggles, and how he might handle the current landscape with Steve Cohen owning the Mets. Mike shares insight into the origins of the Yankees’ famous beard and hair rules, Steinbrenner’s relationship with the media, and some of his favorite stories from the book—including one that didn’t make the final cut.

    We also explore whether George would thrive or clash in today’s social media era, if owners like him still exist, whether the Yankees are fundamentally different now than they were under his leadership, and just how many times Brian Cashman might have been fired if George were still in charge.

    Plus... of course we had to dive into a little UConn/St. John's talk with Mike!

    STAY TUNED POST CREDITS FOR YOUR VOICEMAILS! In the final episode of our four-year series with Alex Karaban, we reflect on an unforgettable journey at UConn and dive into everything from the emоtions of the past week to what’s ahead. Alex shares what it was like preparing for a matchup against a massive Michigan team, how he has handled the tough loss, and what made this year’s Final Four experience unique compared to the others. We also get insight into his relentless mindset, including getting back in the gym immediately after returning to Connecticut, along with what surprised him most during his time at UConn and the biggest lessons he’s learned along the way.

    Beyond the court, Alex talks about his favorite non-basketball memories, whether he leaves with any regrets, and the games and moments that will stick with him forever. He breaks down the toughest players he’s faced, the best trash talkers, funniest and most underrated teammates, and gives us stories from the locker room and behind the scenes with Coach Hurley that fans haven’t heard before. We wrap with a look at what the next few months hold for him, what he’ll miss most (and least) about college, his favorite UConn uniform combo, thoughts on sticking with one program in today’s era, and advice for the next wave of Huskies like Jayden.
