Agreed. Only picked him for the cup because his son said that he was struggling to recover after heart surgery, but after some tweets saying that he improved, I knew he’d be fine. Not that it really matters for me though, I felt my time was up since Bishop Foley went, and I don’t think any of my subs would change that...

Downgraded to Bronchitis. Told you he would be fine:

Maybe the Roberta Flack unique will finally pay off for YoungWilz.

Out of interest, which six do you think are most likely of the surviving members?

The vast majority of my team seem to be holding its own and not scoring in the first half of the year. The kicker, of course, is when none of them score in the second half as well...

Like the previous name thread, but instead it’s names that we like. I’ll start: Martha.

Because the grim reaper doesn’t feel like doing it today.

Current Zimbabwean Vice President Kembo Mohadi could be the Morgan Tsvangirai of 2019. (Though not in political beliefs obviously)...

You know what annoys me at the moment? Well, I finally have the opportunity to do some deep research today, and I find what looks like two really strong names mentioned in the same article for next months cup. Only that, when I did further research on them, they both died on the exact same day as well. Oh well, not like I’m likely to make it anyways...

Peter Falk

He’s still tweeting despite being hospitalized, so he should be fine.

Never been a fan of his type of music tbh, but he definitely did not deserve to go this young. RIP.

Can a mod make a thread for him since I reckon there’s going to be lots of replies about him?

Wow...

94 today.

One that may have been on people’s longlist due to the announcement of early stage Alzheimer’s, former Ohio State coach Earl Bruce, has died at 87...

Was it the guy gcreptile posted earlier this month by any chance?

I blame the skull cap, as Matt Cappotelli isn't doing too well either...

That looks like a good team.

And here’s the LA Times obit I was expecting.

Just realized that he’ll probably get an LA Times obit, which is good for Windy City. Anyone considered him for their lineup?

Meh, I thought about including him on my Deathlist Cup squad last month, but thought he was doing too well...

Same here. I was even the one who brought her illness to the forum too, making it more embarrassing for me not picking her anywhere... EDIT: Might've been her untrustworthy husband that made me turn away from her.

Jazz Saxophonist Nathan Davis is dead at 81.
