The Patrick Cryne of 2018?

That’s why I said it wasn’t impossible for him to obit. If I read correctly, I think Jade Pateman only received coverage in July 2015, but she died and obitted at the end of February 2016. Turned out to be a risk well taken. Again, I’m sure part of me not picking him has to do with the Ben Suisala paranoia, but I wouldn’t be mad if he does obit and I miscalculated due to his achievement...

I’m not so sure. If his achievement was 2 - 3 months before January and he dies, I would’ve considered him. If he did the achievement the same time but has received more coverage afterwards, I might’ve considered him. But 7 months and counting with no QO mention since his achievement is what made me turn away from him. Not impossible, but it felt like too much of a risk for me to take (plus, I wanted to try and avoid FFBI picks this time cause they didn’t really help me last year, with the only two dying were already on a lot of the contending teams...)

Me.

You only die twice...

Ha. None of my team has died yet but one of my subs did. Ah, maybe that’s a sign.

It’s probably you especially with 2011...

Well, Falkholt is now dead. Do we already potentially know the DDP winner already? I mean, I don’t expect to beat him with the few differentials on my team... EDIT: Or it seems like she’s still alive. But she will be dead before too long...

Well, those types of picks always seem to be hit or miss. There were already reports of her potentially being on life support for months, which means she could have easily recovered from it like Schumacher or Holmlund (though I probably would’ve picked Garner if she made the new year). However, picking Holmlund turned out to be a good punt pick...

Definitely sad for sure, but kudos to the Dead Cow, drol, and anyone else who has punted on her. Well, that’s one of 6 differentials from the Dead Cow now gone, and I expect more to go. Imo, I don’t think I’ll be able to beat him tbh...

From Florida? You think someone in a different continent would seriously have inside info from someone in the UK who isn’t known in the US at all?

Also, why would a place in Florida be the first to report the death of someone from a UK show?

That source isn’t reliable, as they also reported Manson’s death before he actually died...

Oh, maybe 30 people out of every 100 won’t make 80. The vast majority of the people still will see 80...

Reports are saying she’s near the end. Could be another repeat of the telegraph interview, but a lot of Belgium sources are reporting this as recent news...

It sounds like you have never heard of a typo before...

Let’s try this: 1. John McCain 2. Jill Gascoine 3. Denis Goldberg 4. Clive James 5. Valerie Harper 6. Philomena Lynott 7. Nobuhiko Obayashi 8. Loretta Lynn 9. Willie Nelson 10. Jacques Chirac 11. Mikhail Gorbachev 12. Hugh Masekela 13. John Hume 14. Mitzi Shore 15. Tim Conway 16. Ted Mack 17. Thomas Keneally 18. Jean Louis Tritignant 19. Ruth Bader Ginsburg 20. David Prowse 21. Sean Connery 22. Little Richard 23. Colin Hart 24. Kris Kristofferson 25. Bart Starr 26. Alberto Fujimori 27. Jean Luc Godard 28. Grace Slick 29. Richard Wilson 30. Monica Vitti

13 teams already! Will there be more soon?

Ends show early and cancels some more upcoming shows. If he’s still alive in 2019, he’s a must have imo...

I’m not saying that there aren’t people that could die at any moment, cause that’s always possible, I’m just saying that there isn’t anyone yet that seems certain to go within the next month. Of course, someone will probably be announced dead tomorrow to end the trend and make my comment irrelevant...

It’s been two years since David Bowie became the man who fell under earth aged 69.

I don’t know. Though the first death since 2011 has always been on or after the 20th of January, so I suspect if they do get a hit in January, it’ll be at least two weeks away from now. But there’s no one who is even close to being on the clock at this point in time, so it could be a few months before the first hit is known...

I'll trust the National Enquirer look alike on this one...
