Captain Hemlock

Sonny Smart, father of University of Georgia's football coach, Kirby Smart has died following hip surgery. Sonny Smart, father of Kirby, dies after complications from hip surgery

Count me in!

@diego takes the early lead.

Jimmy Carter also died.

I believe I should have Gene Hackman on my list as James Butts is already dead.

Isabel Peron: 1%. Lol

It’s usually up around the 14th or so from my experience.

Here's my top 10 who didn't make it: 1. Christina Paszitzky (Comedienne/podcaster)- cancer is very early stage 2. Michael H. Kenyon (Illinois Enema Bandit)-played him in 2024. UK obit doubts and @Gooseberry Crumble could possibly pick him negating unique points 3. Jose E. Serrano (New York congressman) retired from congress a few years back due to Parkinson’s but I can’t get a read on how sick he really is 4. Vito Perillo (100 year old New Jersey mayor)-UK obit doubts 5. Elzie Odom (95 year old former Arlington, Texas mayor) same as above 6. John Sterling (MLB Broadcaster)-health issues look to have been overhyped 7. Christopher Worrell (January 6th prisoner)-UK obit doubts and not sure how sick he is. 8. General Booty (College football QB)-Almost picked for his name alone. He’s not only an obit risk but incredibly unlikely to die. 9. Richard Scolyer (Pathologist)-Apparently cancer free 10. Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl)-uncertain about her “Long Covid” diagnosis.

Slightly surprised at Dayett being rejected since he’s usually pretty good with accepting somewhat obscure American athletes.

Ryne Sandberg is a very good pick and he most certainly will get a UK obit from Daily Mail.

I voted Ian Smith

Saw him in concert in Dallas in 2022. He looked and sounded awful.

Not bad but I still don't quite get Robert Duvall, Angie Dickinson or Hal Linden. They seem like random people in their early 90's

Here's the list I PM'd in a few weeks back: AARON NEVILLE (MUSICIAN) ARLO GUTHRIE (MUSICIAN) BERNIE KOSAR (AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER) BOB PETTIT (BASKETBALL PLAYER) BOB SCHIEFFER (CBS NEWS JOURNALIST) DANIEL BARENBOIM (CONDUCTOR/PIANIST) EDIE MCCLURG (ACTRESS) FATOS NANO (ALBANIAN PRIME MINISTER) (JOKER) FLOYD VIVINO (TV SHOW HOST/COMEDIAN) GENE HACKMAN (ACTOR) JAMES WHALE (RADIO SHOW HOST) JENNIFER WEXTON (VIRGINIA CONGRESSWOMAN) MARLIN FITZWATER (WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY) MATTHEW SWEET (MUSICIAN) NADINE KOUTCHER (OPERA SINGER) POLLY HOLLIDAY (ACTRESS) RANDY MOSS (AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER) ROBERTA FLACK (MUSICIAN) ROD ARGENT (MUSICIAN) RUPERT MURDOCH (MEDIA MOGUL) SAM DONALDSON (POLITICAL JOURNALIST/COMMENTATOR) SARAH LANGS (MLB JOURNALIST/STATISTICIAN) THEO BURRELL (ANTIQUES ROADSHOW) VICTORIA JACKSON (COMEDIENNE-SNL) VIOLETA CHAMORRO (NICARAGUAN PRESIDENTE) I also have @An Fear Beag's list, if he gives me permission to post it.

I decided to look at all the teams that scored 0 (wooden spoon) including my theme team Rolls Off The Tongue. I would say the unluckiest of these teams was I Couldn’t Eat Another Bite. They had a pretty good list of 20.

I can imagine Isabel Peron giving you the finger as we speak.

I thought Fito de La Parra was still alive from Canned Heat.

One of the ironies of Carter dying is that my first sub is someone who is almost the polar opposite of him politically.

Like almost everyone, I had Jimmy Carter. Please add Jose Mujica to subs list.

I was thinking he'd go on December 26 since Harry Truman and Gerald Ford (his predecessor) both died on that date.

It would have been ironic if someone picked Sophie Hediger since she literally died in an avalanche.

TBF, I really wanted to pick Medrick Burnett Jr, but he died before the game started.
