Gary Rossington dead

February a go. Up first is French racecar driver Jean-Pierre Jabouille, a unique for DeathByArsenic that brings them 28 points (20 base + 8 bonus). And then former Pakistani leader Pervez Musharraf. His leadership style all depended on his mood - at times oppressive despot, at times patriotic freedom fighter. Dialing towards the former for HPDP scoring purposes there. The winning trio are CaptainChorizo with 72 points (45 base + 27 bonus), DeathBecomesThem with 64 (40 base + 24 bonus), and drol with 24 (15 base + 9 bonus). The best that Burt Bachrach could do was one team. Lord, we don't need another mountain, but Murdoc gets a mountain's worth of 49 points (35 base + 14 bonus). Up next is a triple header in one day. Colin Dobson, a footballer with Sheffield Wednesday, was a trademark Gooseberry Crumble unique worth 21 points (15 base + 6 unique). Pole vaulter Tim Lobinger was an obit gamble around DDP parts, but with German QOs under the HPDP fold the only question for his pickers was when he would die. He died earlier than anticipate for both Reptile (30 points) and Banana (25 points), and additionally was the first sub hit for RadGuy (25 points). Unlike Lobinger, schlager singer Tony Marshall had no luck gaining any native press outside his native Germany, but that was enough for HPDP purposes. Reptile swiftly follows up with another "too early" hit to the tune of 35 points (25 base + 10 bonus), plus an extra 5 points for hitting a Daily Double. time was one of three wooden spoons last year, and as such resubmitted his 2022 team for this year without any modifications. He'll have to go back to the drawing board for at least one name next time, with badger-coiffured World of Sport host Dickie Davies ending the long dry spell. He brings a haul of 56 points (40 base + 16 bonus). Just one more name in this update. None other than Just Fontaine, the goalscoring juggernaut of 1958 World Cup yore. Fittingly, his picker's username also begins with just, and justonecornetto scores 49 points (35 base + 14 bonus). Latest scoreboard is below. CaptainChorizo leaps to third on the back of Musharraf, while the top two remain unchanged but with a much closer .05-point margin thanks to justonecornetto gaining more mileage out of Fontaine than Banana did out of Lobinger. 1.
