Ellsberg interviewed on American cable news. He was asked about his diagnosis/prognosis from February and joked about “living on a deadline.” He appears to be doing well under the circumstances. Very much with it.

This date was already selected (by me) but you are welcome to choose another.

I tend to agree. Does not seem like insider knowledge. It appears the gentleman who made the post had a business relationship with Newman Racing, but I’m unclear how close to the family he truly is. Also, it might be a temporary error on my end, but the Facebook post may already have been deleted.

For a 93 year old suffering from dementia for 15+ years, could hospice be in play? Sure. I suppose I’m just not confident enough to initiate another sweepstakes on this one..

Absolutely positively reliable source of information claims Woodward is receiving “at-home hospice care.”

One more for Jimmy.

Running with the crowd on Jimmy Carter.

Sakamoto a hit for multiple players I believe in this one.

Carter sweepstakes updated, but not in the most important way. New dates added if your previous guess has already passed I suppose. February already seems like ages ago.

Jimmy Carter: The sweepstakes so nice, we’ll do it twice. Here’s what I see so far… February 24 theoldlady February 25 ajlposh February 26 Summer in Transylvania February 27 HDS February 28 Hell March 1 arghton March 2 ThereWillBeDeaths7 March 3 Lafaucheuse March 4 Sir Creep March 5 sklauda1 March 6 The Unknown Man March 7 wannamaker March 15 Redrumours March 31 Sir Creep (2) April 1 diego April 6 Redrumours (2) April 7 Sean April 9 Sly Ronnie April 10 arghton (2) May 1 The Great Cornholio May 2 HDS (2) May 3 ajlposh (2) May 4 ThereWillBeDeaths7 (2) May 6 lilham May 8 diego (2) May 18 Summer in Transylvania (2) Jun 1 theoldlady (2) Jun 27 Fergie86 Jul 22 Sinbabad

This may have been before my time. You are of course welcome to defend your title.

With the announcement that Jimmy Carter has entered hospice care, I’m mildly surprised a sweepstakes hasn’t begun. If I’m welcome to start one, here we go- February 27th.

Jeanette Lee looking well these days out and about.

I know we’ve all seen the recent photos of Steve McMichael looking at death’s door, but do the t-shirts here imply they expect him to be alive next year? Probably just optimism. https://www.instagram.com/p/ConEIpMLKr6/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Triple down on Sakamoto.

Gone for Sakamoto again.

Alabama Crimson Tide play by play announcer Eli Gold offers some clarity regarding his recent health problems. It’s a “treatable” form of cancer. Gold has missed some of his broadcasting duties since August 2022 to focus on his health.

Damn good news. All the credit to this young man for being a fighter and to those trainers/first responders for their skilled practice in the critical first moments.

The Peverley incident was frightening on television. Jay Bouwmeester too. Christian Eriksen. Some complete tragedies avoided, but sadly this just doesn’t feel like one of them. Just terrible.

Gone for Sakamoto. Seems ready.

Don West and Pelé hits for me here. Probably for a few others as well.

Congratulations to diego on his win and impressive performance in this pool. I hope you got to the betting window with those exact scores at least a time or two. I also wish to extend my thanks to Paul Bearer for running this pool. We appreciate you organizing our fun.
