Sir Creep

Betty White is a stupid pick.

I'll take it! Sorry I didn't get a 50-man list in to you this year. No one has died for anyone if you'll take a late entry

My Favorite Martian, Ray Walston, died 15 years ago.

Well my prediction Billy Graham 1 he was 3rd, and Ginger Baker 50th he was a no show

So was anyone else sitting in a public place when Debbie Reynolds obit appeared - what with the irony of her daughter 20 hours earlier - and I just wanted to scream like a little girl in glee at what I found (and how DL was prolly blowing up). The gal I was sitting at pizza place with waiting for carry out saw my excited look and said 'DONT' (IOW don't yell out that someone died, cuz I was about to), so I showed her the obit on my phone she was like 'oh my'. I'm like see--you know before anyone! She's like I can't believe it and I said oh hell it happened with Zsa Zsa just this week haha. Oh it's a tough life being the keeper of all knowledge of the dead. SirC

So are we best friends or enemies? I thought surely I had a solo hit there. Grrrrr lol SC I even left her off my Made In Detroit theme team (she was born there) as not to ruin my own unique name. Now I wish I put her there as joker! :-(

Well shit you and I have like 9 of the same names out of 20. We are doomed lol SC

Wetton is a dead cert,assuming Campbell goes and Wetton doesn't make drop 40(most likely) it's only a net 1 point loss. Well it's a lost cause. Rules say once submitted that's it. My boner for forgetting Campbell. SC

Well done Spade Cooley. Well done! SirC

Like I said I saw the shard of scratch paper with his name on it today and a loud aaarrrgghh exasperated out of me. I will say I'm not positive of an obit, he ain't no Rex Humbard or Oral Roberts after all. But to do the research and not have my shit together (see Glen Campbell) is embarrassing, and enlightening. I need to create spreadsheets daily like a few of you certainly do, then I won't have that problem.SC

Frankly I'm pissed you've even heard of Rev Eddie Long. Thought he was my dirty little secret (search shows he was never mentioned--till now). Frankly I found his name in a separate slip of paper in my pile (after I submitted entries) and I am unsure he would have cracked the top 20 but I should mention him here as a facepalm and definitely one I woulda had trouble cutting. Found a photo of him a few weeks ago and he lost at least 50 pounds since summer, very Wetton-like. If anyone chose him I applaud and I like the pick a ton.SC

Please note I was just trying to find aged Michiganders for my theme team. Ilitch is up there in years and likely has 2017 licked. But I threw together that team in like 2 hours so don't think I was endorsing Mike Ilitch too much. He's just old that's all.SC

CAMDEN, Ark. — Thousands were watching on Facebook as a Camden, Arkansas, woman suddenly died. Keiana Herndon, 26, was holding her 1-year-old son, Riley, while talking on Facebook Live about how she wanted to return to school, KATV reported. During the video, she started rubbing her eyes and shaking her head, then she fell on the floor.

You couldn't come up with a two syllable synonym for dead? Deadsox

Ok you want names: 6 of top 11 + 98 and overs 13-50. King Michael, Christie, Campbell. That's 9. If they get more than 9 I'll send a pound of coffee to the homeless shelter if your chcoice. SC

You have Errol Christie on your team and you were wanting Glen Campbell on your team so bad, so your being hypocritical of yourself.Christie = low hanging fruit

Last minute drops from DDP main team 20: Glen Campbell (fuckin forgot!) King Michael (too popular, not many points) Bart Starr (new stem cell injections in November probably bought him at least 10 months) Kevin Carey (not sure about obitability) MP Patrick John (not sure he will die 2017, but a solid pick. #21 for me, my only alternate I listed) Leah Bracknell (Ain't buying she's dead 2017, would've been a purely defensive pick and I'm over them [see John Bain 2016]) Paul 'Stabber' Watson (Google finds little so assume he won't obit) SirC

I see 6-7 VERY low hanging fruit and all I'll be 94+ yrs old. I don't see a single death from the bums under 90 they chose. A year I guarantee 10 deaths in my DDP 20, this is a weak class. Coulda done better. SirC

Biggest goddamn MISS by the committee 2017. What the fuck are they thinking? I know they pick people who are A-listers in general. So where is Soares?? His death is guaranteed and an obit to follow. Soares is the Pat Harrington of 2017. SC

Sallis is about to callous. SC

You're a damned fool

Someone on the committee IS IN HIS underpants. FTFY

Why, Committee? Why?
