Joey Russ

Still am waiting on 13 expected teams at this point...

Tantawi would give you the lead if he dies thanks to the uniqueness on him, so he’s still possible

Nope. Though you don’t really need him anyways if he doesn’t obit since you’re moving on to round 3

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na... Flag Man! Hehe. So Larry Eckhardt has died, and offers up points for two people. AO Guy gets his second hit for March, and is a bit of a consolation prize. Meanwhile, Spade also picked him and is now only 3 points behind Banana, but it might be too little too late for him to make a comeback. I also see Deane Sutherland is dead, but that is not an acceptable obit that Grim has posted, and he only has about 9 hours for something to show up. Otherwise, no points for those who picked him. Skinny Kiltrunner vs JiroemonKimura 6 - 13 Grobler vs John Key 8 - 3 Engineer vs Grim 3 - 9 YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer 6 - 3 Bibliogryphon vs msc 0 - 15 Torva vs Reptile 12 - 6 Banana vs Spade_Cooley 15 - 12 Quim Reaper vs Deathray 6 - 0 Maryport vs Deadsox 3 - 6 Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic 6 - 10 An Fear Bag vs Alt Obits Guy 13 - 6 DDT vs Book 9 - 9 Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 12 - 6 Chorizo vs HDS 10 - 9 Death Impends vs Ethushishispushingupdaisies 12 - 0  Clorox vs FixedBusiness 15 - 6 

There is now 24 hours to go to send in your team. Yes, the end of the month is already here, and I have to wait on about 13 teams...

Tbf, you didn’t really need any of them for this month, hehe

Don’t worry, he doesn’t have coronavirus, it’s just his 74th birthday.

A couple of really late hits in the cup. And with that, we also have a really late score change, with YoungWillz taking the lead against Wormfarmer due to him having Hau Pei-Tsun as joker! Poor Wormfarmer, that’s the second time his lead change against him after it looked like he’d win the match. However, as Yogi Bear once said, it ain’t over till it’s over. Pei-Tsun is also a consolation prize for FixedBusiness, who really needs a miracle if they want to move on at this point. Elsewhere, grobler gets his second unique in March as he takes a 5 point lead against John Key. Certainly one to watch out for in the cup. Skinny Kiltrunner vs JiroemonKimura 6 - 13 Grobler vs John Key 8 - 3 Engineer vs Grim 3 - 9 YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer 6 - 3 Bibliogryphon vs msc 0 - 15 Torva vs Reptile 12 - 6 Banana vs Spade_Cooley 15 - 9 Quim Reaper vs Deathray 6 - 0 Maryport vs Deadsox 3 - 6 Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic 6 - 10 An Fear Bag vs Alt Obits Guy 13 - 3 DDT vs Book 9 - 9 Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 12 - 6 Chorizo vs HDS 10 - 9 Death Impends vs Ethushishispushingupdaisies 12 - 0  Clorox vs FixedBusiness 15 - 6

Clorox or FixedBusiness vs Maryport or Deadsox 2. Sir Creep or Joey Russ vs Bibliogryphon or msc 3. DDT or Book vs Skinny Kiltrunner or JiroemonKimura 4. Chorizo or HDS vs Quim Reaper or Deathray 5.

If recent news is to be believed, yes unfortunately.

CBS News journalist Maria Mercader is dead at 54

He has finally waken up from the coma

Alright everyone. Today I’ve got some exciting news. We actually have a sponsor for the cup for the first time in history. Yep, that’s right. One amazing company have decided to throw their support behind the cup for the month of April. So without a further ado, our sponsor for the month of April is none other than Corona beer! So, everyone please thank Corona beer for sponsoring us and enjoy a bottle during the upcoming months of chaos...

We are in weird times, and as such some competitors might not show up for whatever reason. Hopefully everyone is fine, but in the off chance they aren’t, we do have some highest ranking losers just in case. So as it stands, the three highest ranking losers for March are: 1. Spade 2. HDS 3. DDT All of them have 9 points. Spade is first because he has three hits rather than two, whereas HDS average age of hits is less than DDT’s overall. So as it stands, those three might want to prepare a team just in case...

Matthew Faber, actor who appeared in many cult films from the 1990s, has died at 47

Jamaican reggae singer Delroy Washington has died after a short illness. Can’t imagine what that illness might be...

As it stands: 1. Clorox or FixedBusiness vs Maryport or Deadsox 2. Sir Creep or Joey Russ vs Bibliogryphon or msc 3. DDT or Book vs Skinny Kiltrunner or JiroemonKimura 4. Chorizo or HDS vs Quim Reaper or Deathray 5. Engineer or Grim vs Grobler or John Key 6. Oldlady or DeathByArsenic vs Torva or Reptile 7. An Fear Bag or Alt Obits Guy vs YoungWillz or Wormfarmer 8. Banana or Spade_Cooley vs Death Impends or Ethushishispushingupdaisies As we go into the later rounds, there will be less people submitting earlier in the month, because the more competitive players want to wait for those last minutes names.

Darn, that means my second sub comes in, and as such my cup team looks more and more bad for April, hehe. Not like I’ll make it anyways... But back to John O’Donnell for March. He was picked by three teams. Msc and Death Impends are really showing squonkings against those two, leading by 15 and 12 points respectively. Meanwhile, Spade has a bit of a consolation prize and reduces the gap against Banana to a bit of a more respectable score... Skinny Kiltrunner vs JiroemonKimura 6 - 13 Grobler vs John Key 4 - 3 Engineer vs Grim 3 - 9 YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer 0 - 3 Bibliogryphon vs msc 0 - 15 Torva vs Reptile 12 - 6 Banana vs Spade_Cooley 15 - 9 Quim Reaper vs Deathray 6 - 0 Maryport vs Deadsox 3 - 6 Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic 6 - 10 An Fear Bag vs Alt Obits Guy 13 - 3 DDT vs Book 9 - 9 Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 12 - 6 Chorizo vs HDS 10 - 9 Death Impends vs Ethushishispushingupdaisies 12 - 0  Clorox vs FixedBusiness 15 - 3

Scarface of the Geto Boys got the virus. Doesn’t look like his mind is playing tricks on him...

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell got it

Well, as one of the few off forum names on my cup team, I had planned on picking Atlanta drag queen Sharon Needles. That said, she won’t be making the starting line, and my first sub comes through.

Well, one of them isn’t anymore. William Dufris, that is

So footballer Ignacio Trelles has died, continuing the vast centenarian apocalypse we have. He also a cup unique for Chorizo, who has now taken a 1 point lead against HDS. They can still comeback from this if “Killer” Brooks dies this month, but in the meantime, Chorizo leads, and the clock is slowly ticking too... Skinny Kiltrunner vs JiroemonKimura 6 - 13 Grobler vs John Key 4 - 3 Engineer vs Grim 3 - 9 YoungWillz vs Wormfarmer 0 - 3 Bibliogryphon vs msc 0 - 12 Torva vs Reptile 12 - 6 Banana vs Spade_Cooley 15 - 6 Quim Reaper vs Deathray 6 - 0 Maryport vs Deadsox 3 - 6 Oldlady vs DeathByArsenic 6 - 10 An Fear Bag vs Alt Obits Guy 13 - 3 DDT vs Book 9 - 9 Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 12 - 6 Chorizo vs HDS 10 - 9 Death Impends vs Ethushishispushingupdaisies 9 - 0  Clorox vs FixedBusiness 15 - 3
