Thinking About … A Fan’s Duty

Here’s the Tax Facts (I had to resist the urge to be nauseating and write “Tax Fax”…or even “Tax FAQ’s.”)u00a0 The media…as always…is glomming onto this poor guy’s noble act.u00a0 My advice to this dude is: talk to a knowledgeable tax attorney or CPA.u00a0 Basically, this guy didn’t win a “prize,” as the media is mooing about.u00a0 Hey, media morons: this wasn’t a contest.u00a0 There were no rules.u00a0 No pre-established do-this-and-you’ll-get-that.u00a0 The Yankees GAVE him those things, as a gesture of appreciation, for something nice that he’d done.u00a0 That’s pronounced “gift.”u00a0 And, even if the IRS ~does~ want to try to collect tax on the expensive box seats…all the Yankees have to do is not “give” them to him.u00a0 Don’t put them in his name…just allow him to use them.u00a0 Simple solution.nnNow, can we all please move on to more important topics…like, what freakin’ shade of Just For Men does Brian Wilson use to get his beard that color? u00a0 u00a0

Or, even Alan Jardine’s choice of breakfast cereal.nnWait…are we still talking about the same thing?
