Captain Hemlock

The team named "The One Where Everyone Dies" looks like it's a theme team dedicated to the TV show Friends.

Tennis great Chris Evert diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Chris Evert diagnosed with cancer (msn.com)

He also suffers from being “Dizzy”

Dan Aykroyd is that range and should qualify.

Ok you convinced me. Count me in!

Hmm, thinking about this one, but I’m sure to be embarrassed in it.

Viktor Saneyev is a hit for me in Olympic Gold Medalists.

Woo hoo! Everyone is tied.

Vitali Klitschko may be looking at getting permanently TKO’d https://trib.al/ghmW9r2?fbclid=IwAR1jM9K7c4wX99N9PYzNvMJjB7wlZmnyGEzVKPXs-LprDX1zciWDMSwWP4Q

Shouldn’t there be 40 names on here, not 25?

Dan Reeves, who as a coach led the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons to four Super Bowl losses has died. He was also a former player. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32972670/dan-reeves-former-nfl-coach-player-dies-77

Wow! This is an unbelievable undertaking. Thanks for doing this and as I thought, I was the only one to select the other Frank Field (98 year old US TV meteorologist)

Had 2020/2021 health issues, but seem better now: Jeff Bridges (played in Death by Numbers) Chevy Chase (played in Death by Numbers) John Cleese Steven Crowder Kristen Dahlgren Tony Dow Mark Hoppus Rikako Ikee Todd McShay Jerry Mofokeng Stanley Tucci UK obit doubts: Victor Alfonso Cedeno (Cuban film director) Hank Garrett (Car 54 actor) (played in Death by Numbers) Vito Perillo (97 year old mayor of Tinton Falls, New Jersey) Sandra Petway (Rutgers University Track coach) Jerry Tolve (Singer with ALS) David Tomassoni (Minnesota state legislator) Christopher Worrell (January 6 protestor/insurrectionist) Miscellaneous Zarifa Ghafari-If she had remained in Afghanistan, I probably would have picked her Nacho Rocha-Considered for my Rolls Off The Tongue theme team. Uncertain a hunger striker would qualify

It will be worth the wait and the committee has done a superb job as always.

Yes. I'll file that one away for future reference. Thanks!

As per custom, Here are my 2022 teams listed shortly after midnight UK time. Behold my main team which will likely finish in about 120th place and my 2 theme teams. Captain Hemlock's Twenty Jeanette Lee (joker) Christiane Amanpour Ady Barkan Mangosuthu Buthelezi Jimmy Carter Jules Feiffer Louis Gossett Jr. Tim Green Polly Holliday Earl Holliman Bernard Kalb William Leuchtenburg Nichelle Nichols Yoko Ono Pele William "the Refrigerator" Perry Mark Russell George Schlatter Gay Talese Dick Vitale Theme team Saints Elsewhere (1980's US Medical Drama) William Daniels (joker) G. W. Bailey Bonnie Bartlett Ed Begley Jr. David Birney Ellen Bry Ronny Cox Dave Grusin Mark Harmon Terence Knox Eric Laneuville Howie Mandel Kim Miyori David Morse France Nuyen Christina Pickles Cindy Pickett Denzel Washington Alfre Woodard Cynthia Sikes Yorkin Theme team Rolls Off The Tongue (interesting sounding names) Ludwig Scotty (joker) Maude Apatow Krystal Ball John Wayne Bobbitt Young Boozer Dick Butkus Joey Buttafuoco Hopewell Chin'ono Norm Hitzges Jerry Kill Pops Mensah-Bonsu Fatos Nano Mumilaaq Qaqqaq Socrates Rizzo Otis Sistrunk Anna Smashnova Bill Tush Esteban Volkov Reality Winner John Wockenfuss

Dick van Dyke at number 1? That makes no sense. Pele and Jerry Lee Lewis were no brainers. Nichelle Nichols should have been a lock.

Horrible in the DDP. Not quite as horrible in alt.obits but pretty bad in both. F in DDP C- in alt.obits

I’m playing him in Death by Numbers as he is likely to get a New York Times obit but I’m not playing him in DDP.

Richard Marcinko, first commanding officer of Seal Team 6, dead at 81. https://nypost.com/2021/12/27/richard-marcinko-first-commanding-officer-of-seal-team-6-dies-at-81/?utm_source=NYPFacebook&sr_share=facebook&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&fbclid=IwAR07OuXka5JL1f4-N8SEGL-J7HI6ezLEtZwDw2q3wZVs-y7ceRi6HIDMLmY

I realize we have a few days left but who do you think is the most surprising List of the Lost person? I would say Lester Wolff. There are far more obscure US congressmen or women who have gotten UK obituaries.

10 point bonus week coming up.

One week to go…Can’t wait for the new game to commence.

Somewhat off topic, but I did once consider a DDP theme team called Die-arrhea, which would have included people who suffered from ill timed bowel movements.

Wally Funk was the oldest woman in space but William Shatner would be the oldest person in space.
