Are you going to name names Joey?

I just sent my team in to Joey. Thanks to him for running the tourney and best of luck to my esteemed opponent, theoldlady.

Phil will chill.

Rush, Rush, Rush.

Went down the list and couldn't see anyone better than Limbaugh.

Congratulations An Fear Beag! It was fun being in first place for a couple of days.

Congratulations Joey!

What a kick in the balls! Not only is he alive but "fit" according to a story I just read. LOL!

I have no problem with either the DDP or the Alt Obits rejecting picks. I think way too many obscure "celebrities" get it as it is. If you really want to take a shot at winning either one, however, you have to try people like Andrea Swift (relatively young and very ill) to protect your team from being left out if they are judged acceptable..

I love this pool so here's my try for 2021 1. Donald Trump 2. Rolf Harris 3. Paul Gascoigne 4. Billy Connolly 5. Willie Nelson 6. Yoko Ono 7. Queen Elizabeth 8. Mikhail Gorbachev 9. George Alagiah 10. Jerry Lee Lewis 11. David Attenborough 12. Greg Gilbert 13. Rob Burrow 14. Betty White 15. June Brown 16. Angela Lansbury 17. Leslie Phillips 18. Desmond Tutu 19. Jimmy Greaves 20. Doddie Weir 21. Dick Van Dyke 22. Henry Kissinger 23. Murray Walker 24. Prunella Scales 25. Bobby Charlton Sub- Sidney Poitier

I thought it was funny that Andrea Swift was rejected and her replacement was Susan Bayh. Not a criticism but I had concerns about them both.

Please believe me that I'm not criticizing you. I have nothing but respect for the work you and the others have done to put this pool together.

As I was checking out my team (Deceased Hose) I noticed that the Steve Smith you have for me is not the right one. The spreadsheet said "NFL Running Back with ALS". You gave me a drummer but it's this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Smith_(running_back)

Roberts Revival Reversed!

I suggest that for the finals only, the 3rd tiebreaker be sudden death. The first player from either team to die ends it. In the case of earlier rounds, you need a winner at the end of the month but not for the finals. It would be a shame to see a coin flip decide the champion.

I'll try again.

Same for me but I only had to walk for a half an hour.

If you're any kind of deadpooler you have. Just like I make it my business to hear of people like Dai Davies, Yoo Sang-chul, Carlos Menem, etc.

Lots of us have Paul Westphal too.

Recent math problem solved: 117 + 1 =118

Congrats TQR!

It was Atkins the British politician and now I've got Phil.

Ruthie Tompson in for Atkins.

I just emailed my first Hare's team. Best of luck to all the competitors.

I could not save the excel spreadsheet sent to me by email but I put together a similar one for my main entry and the two theme teams. Hope it makes things easier and thanks for running this massive and fun pool. Happy New Year and may it be MUCH better than 2020.
