Captain Hemlock

Gene Shue, former player who coached the Philadelphia 76ers to the 1977 Finals has died. Hit for me in alt.obits Deadpool. https://sportsnaut.com/former-nba-great-gene-shue-dies-at-90/amp/

I realize I picked all my “punt” picks in this pool, but I’m still surprised to be sitting at 0 one quarter in. Maybe Joan Jara will pass so @chilean way and myself can get on the board.

Washington Post is pretty reputable, I think https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2022/04/01/country-music-performer-cw-mccall-dies/

George Perez on all 16 lists? Well, hopefully this means I finally get a hit since we all can’t be wrong.

Good luck @The Old Crem. Hopefully we each score above zero this month.

You must own a dartboard with Isabel Peron’s picture on it

To be honest I wasn’t sure he’d pass muster as he’s very well known in South Texas but not so much anywhere else.

Guess who picked him.

I submitted an April list, in case I luck into the next round, but I'm not really enthused about this dead pool, to be honest.

Wikipedia has Vladimir Zhirinovsky listed as dead. If confirmed, this would be my first hit ever in Deathlist Cup competition. 2 other players picked him as well.

Interestingly if I do make it round 3, my next opponent could come from another 0-0 matchup.

A strategy I would not recommend to other players.

I like your place of death listed for Don Young.

Jean Potvin, who played mostly for the New York Islanders alongside his more famous brother Denis, dead at 72. Also a great broadcaster with a wild sense of humor. https://www.newsday.com/amp/sports/hockey/islanders/jean-potvin-dead-1.50537792

Going through the teams, I think you have the wrong Joe Schmidt listed for Made in Detroit. I suspect it's this guy instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Schmidt_(American_football)

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is dealing with a mysterious medical issue. https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/jerry-jones-is-reportedly-dealing-with-a-medical-issue

Paula Radcliffe and Uta Pippig were both picked.

Well , I do kind of look like Evil Spock from the Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror"

Does this mean I'm the "bad" Captain? LOL

A while back I had considered a theme team called Die-arrhea which featured 20 people who sufferered from an ill timed bowel movement. It was surprisingly easy to compile such a list.

Also a cast member for later seasons on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In

Since most here are based in the UK, this yankee found this article most amusing. https://nypost.com/2022/03/02/painfully-obvious-facts-americans-dont-know-about-the-uk/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPFacebook&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&sr_share=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1g3_chClq-HBDLkXe9C7KtNvSrXD3sf1gYe9ma71BzIDL60xF3mMbP19Y

DeathByArsenic (DBA) Alma Rosa Aguirre, Claire Maurier, Erni Mangold, James D. Watson, Jean Louis-Trintignant, Marita Camacho Quirós, Michel Bouquet, Philippe de Gaulle, Princess Mikasa, Tin Oo, Vicky Phelan (c) vs Captain Hemlock (CAP) Frank Field (c), Violeta Chamorro, Jerry Lee Lewis, Nichelle Nichols, Pele, George Perez, Vito Perillo, Lexi Reed, Susie Steiner, Polina Strelets, Vladimir Zhirinovsky interesting picks from both of us. I would give DBA the edge but I at least hope to score higher than the “zero” I posted in Round 1.

January is Sidney Poitier for sure. February isn’t so clear cut. I would say narrowly, Monica Vitti.

Time for March Madness to commence with #16 seed @Captain Hemlock ready to battle. Good luck to everyone. Looking forward to a great contest with @DeathByArsenic.
