There is no commercial. I made it up. The whole thing is a metaphor. 
George Steinbrenner is the owner of the New York Yankees. Oreck's are 
very expensive vacuum cleaners and they really suck quite well. The 
Yankees have the highest payroll in Major League Baseball and they 
really suck quite well.

Personally I find it funny as all hell that he paid that much for a 
bunch of aging players that are playing .500 ball.

Having grown up outside Hartford, CT, halfway between Boston and New 
York, I have grown to love hating the Yankees.
