College players are the lower threshold for me, no high school football coaches necessary. By the way, also picked up by ESPN.

Post whore? Hmm. Current alt.obits guy post totals: 541 Post-totals of virtually everybody else: higher
Sir Creep: 8581 posts over 1332 days equals 6.45 posts per day.
alt obits guy: 543 posts over 193 days equals 2.81 posts per day.
2.3 to 1 in favour of Sir Creep.
Yeah, but when Sir Creep thinks they're too obscure .....
With all due respect, the fame level of many of the subjects of your posts is low to non-existent.
I'd say Bob Hope, George Burns, Olivia de Havilland, and Kirk Douglas are the only real A-list centenarian actors. Lane was more a reliable "you know the face" type... a respectable career, but not the headliner star I think of when I hear "A-list".
Chiyo Miyako has somehow gone into Limbo...
Kane Tanaka, 115, is the interim World's Oldest Person while people figure out what the hell happened.
Also Nabi Tajima's age is now disputed, meaning she might not have been the oldest person after all. Plot twist!
Cyclists are to a man doped to the eyeballs, so shouldn't count.
Not athletes, just junkies with wheels going like fuck to their next fix.
And broken bones totals pale compared to NH jockeys, trooooo heroes.
