    RecommendUPDATE at 9:50 ET: The New York Daily News, citing a Yankees team source, says George Steinbrenner died at about 6:30 a.m. ET today after suffering a heart attack last night.

    WABC reports George Steinbrenner has suffered a massive heart attack. The TV station says the Yankees owner was rushed to St. Joseph's hospital. The New York Daily News and ESPN are reporting that "The Boss" is in "extremely critical condition."

    Steinbrenner turned 80 on July 4th.

    The Tampa Tribune reports that emergency crews responded at Steinbrenner's home last night. Steinbrenner last week told the AP he was "feeling good" after spending a couple hours in his office at the Yankees' spring training complex.

    Bay News 9 also is reporting that it has been told by multiple sources that emergency crews went to Steinbrenner's home and that someone was transported to St. Joseph's.

    During Steinbrenner's ownership, the Yankees have won 11 pennants and seven World Series.

        For some reason it's a surprise.

            Good thing for his heirs and the Yankees that he died this year. Next year, they would have been hit with a 55% tax.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

              If you're looking for TMM's actual opinion on the matter:

              Rush Limbaugh had his own view of George Steinbrenner.

              ''That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires,'' the radio commentator said Tuesday on his show after the New York Yankees owner died at age 80. ''He fired a bunch of white guys as managers left and right.''
              “As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
              "Capitalism ho!"

                Have I told this joke on this forum before?

                What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg??

                      No but your brother did, by the way can he do my taxes for a reduced rate. I have a grandmother who is still having sex, let's just say if she ever did manage to have kids they'd probably be the only ones who find your humor remotely appealing. I have just received a classified email from someone with his own Wikipedia page -- Watch yourself, I bet right now Asher is getting emails from someone with his own red tube account

                              Is "red tube" a euphemism for penis, or an allusion to the pneumatic tubes massively useless organizations like government sometimes used for messaging purposes?
