Believe he, Gabe Kaplan and Telly savalas were the 3 captains.

Shady move by Jenny.

February 15, 20205 yr Wow, he was only 88? He seemed 70 thirty years ago. If death is inevitable... ”Claydesta” was a welcome oasis in West Texas back when I had to call it home for a year in the early 80’s.
February 15, 20205 yr When it’s your turn to take a dirt nap, you may as well lay back, relax and enjoy it.

February 19, 20205 yr 20 y.o. (aspiring?) rapper Pop Smoke was just killed and it raised a few questions : Something like this is 80 pts. Most of ya'll have a bunch of Olds in your picks. How many points usu "wins" these things? How famous do you have to be (would Pop or Kobe's kid have counted as a celebrity)?
February 19, 20205 yr I don't really know how many points it takes to win the contest, but if even one name on my list kicks the bucket then we will all be winners.
February 19, 20205 yr I think the general rule of thumb is that the person needed to have an actual Wikipedia page before their death.
March 9, 20205 yr Max Von Sydow was a great actor. He made an HBO movie in '95 called Citizen X with Donald Sutherland about detectives on the trail of a serial killer in Soviet Russia. Fantastic movie.
March 9, 20205 yr Von Sydow hurts. Great actor and presence. In Hannah and Her Sisters get gives a monologue about TV that is brilliant. It's Woody Allen at his best but delivered by Von Sydow's profound, deep voice. Finally lost the chess game. RIP
March 12, 20205 yr Might be an overreaction to the last 24 hours, but feel like this thread may have more activity than anticipated.

March 18, 20205 yr Actor Stuart Whitman has also died. He was 92. Fear of karma keeps me from participating in this thread, but I just saw a sportswriter turned broadcaster with a serious illness history on an ESPN NFL show, and he didn’t look good.

March 19, 20205 yr I feel like maybe we should hold a new and separate "Coronavirus Only" pool. Maybe allow submissions through 12:01am Central on Saturday (so the next day and a half are for entries? Or have the deadline a day later for maximum visibility?) and the mini-season ends in two months? Say on Memorial Day? Anyone else interested?
March 20, 20205 yr Can I get a late substitution? Andy Cohen says he's been diagnosed with coronavirus

March 21, 20205 yr Kenny Rogers, folds ‘em at 81.Willie is the last one left. Glad I saw him at the rodeo before this virus hit. Houston's biggest star.

March 21, 20205 yr Loretta Lynn is getting up there, but I suspect she is more like Willie than Kenny and will live forever.
