    O.J. Simpson: Run Out Of Juice?

    I just read a comment on one of the stories , apparently the president can only commute or pardon federal prisoners , OJ Simpson is under Nevada state care. So would he get treatment in jail and his family pay for it Or isn't he allowed treatment maybe one of our American members can answer that? If he does have brain cancer and can't get treatment might be a good pick for 2015.

    FIFA World Cup Players

    First big death of the year along with Phil everly , am I the only one who thought there was not much coverage for such a big death? His death didn't even trend on twitter ,though maybe i wasn't looking at the right time.

    Wilko Johnson

    Tv and lots of things in general are a big distraction to the obvious ''one day we are all going to die'' thoughts. Because the deathlist talks and brings attention to death it makes immature people like yourself uncomfortable. Just because you can't deal with reality doesn't mean you can stop others from doing so. I have yet to see anyone claim they're talented at picking a deadpool either.

    Michael Schumacher

    Phillippe Streiff, the friend quoted knows all about being in this kind of situation when he was greviously injured in a crash in 1989. I know Philippe well- he wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true or to be sensational so that is good news That's is good news i think Micheal's situation maybe similar to Pekka Hyysalo's , years of hard work to get better and similar injures too. But if anyone can do it michael can.

    Michael Schumacher

    according to his friend his life is no longer in danger. http://news.sky.com/story/1189678/schumacher-friend-claims-german-out-of-danger The question now is how much damage was done?

    Sam Simon

    It was a toss up between sam simon and wilko johnson for my joker, I chose wilko simply because I really can't see him surviving this year however sam simon might surprise a few people. He retweeted something about a deathpool so i think he knows he is on here .

    2014 DDP Dumping Ground & Salvage Lot

    Funny enough i had watkins and hall on my list at one point then decided the odds of both of them killing themselves in prison is unlikely so i dropped watkins and went with stuart hall.I see not many people chose the rolf harris gamble . I do think there is a good chance of him offing himself along with his wife before the trial more than stuart hall or Ian watkins will kill themselves in prison though.

    Crashing Companies

    Oddly their Harrogate branch re-located only a few weeks ago. The new shop is roughly the same size as the old, but located in a shopping centre as opposed to on a major shopping street. They probably got a rent free agreement with another landlord. another two hmv's to add to the 8 or so already closing. http://www.birminghampost.co.uk/business/business-news/more-jobs-misery-midland-hmv-6457276 http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/10904211.HMV_in_Newport_to_close_in_January/ What is happening here is hilco wants to keep the stores running were they can get short term or long term rent free agreements so they can collect as much money as possible before the inevitable collapse . So maybe not complete closure in jan 2014 but hilco have no interest in keeping HMV going for the long term ,I give them 2 years max .

    I heard he has alzheimer's.

    Derby Dead Pool 2014

    A wrestler, likely to get an obit, who is ill? Colour me intrigued. It's not Tom Billington, fwiw. They're not WWE Hall of Famers but they'd probably enter as a third/fourth-tier entry in the next five years. May even get next year's HoF if the cark it before then. By saying ''they're not'' means he/she was part of a tag team? I would say superstar billy graham but doesn't sound like him.

    Michael Schumacher

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/michael-schumacher/10543442/Next-48-hours-will-determine-whether-Michael-Schumacher-survives-doctors-say.html Small update here with some new info , apparently he was warned by other skiers not to go off-piste as heavy snow may hide large rocks and the impact was so severe it cracked his helmet. However he has a great number of lesions on both side of his hemispheres and the next 48 hours will determine whether he survives.
