Francesco Rosi The Bafta winning Italian Film Director is dead at 92

Roy Tarpley The former Dallas Maverick who was drafted in the drug plagued 1986 Rookie Class and was subsequently kicked out of the NBA in 91 for cocaine addiction is dead at 50.

Will take a crack at this. None of the names have appeared on my DDP,RDP,Harepool,Hartlepool or Deathrace Teams ever 5 under 50's* Irwin Corey Robert Swift* Chris Washburn* Tex Winter Gertrude Weaver-dead Antonia Gerena Rivera-dead Sakari Momoi-dead Chuck Bednarik-dead Robert H.

The only reason I picked him was because on MNF Suzy Kolber started crying a few weeks like she was mourning already,otherwise he would not have been on my radar since the type of cancer he had was not disclosed. I could see why he looked like a risky pick to people not familiar with him in the UK.

I will go write in vote Helmut Berger in a shocker

Based on the teams posted in the ddp 2015 thread looks like Lauren Hill has an outside shot at the drop 40.

There always seem to be like a dozen centenarian theme teams so the odds are probably against you on getting a unique with her.

The thing about Superstar is much like the will to outlive her sister kept Olivia and Joan alive so long,he is gonna try and will himself to live long enough to outlast Abdullah The Butcher so he can spit on his grave.

Didn't notice her on the list. I guess with Dick Van Dyke out someone had to take his place for the token safely making it to next year spot.

Team Name -Heading Nowhere Joker (Pick 1): Sam Simon Pick 2: Lauren Hill (thinking 90% chance she gets daily mail obit but the other 10% of me kept me from putting her as joker) Pick 3: Martin Crowe Pick 4: Jean Dore Pick 5: Bryan Murray Pick 6:Aimee Willett Pick 7: Samantha Beaven Pick 8: Jenny Diski Pick 9: Martin Foran Pick 10:Stuart Scott Pick 11:Helen Fawkes Pick 12:Kate Granger Pick 13:Caroline Aherne Pick 14:Robert Schuller Pick 15:Colin Bloomfield Pick 16:Daisy Berkowitz Pick 17:Peter Sutcliffe Pick 18:Seijun Suzuki Pick 19:Anker Jorgensen Pick 20:Christiane F.

Someone to challenge Javier Perez de Cuellar in 2015 for DL pick who will have the least amount of posts in their thread.

I knew I forgot someone . Benton is a dead cert

Solid choice I suspect him or Abdullah is likely the next big name from Wrestling to pass on

Here are the people who just missed my DDP main team 21-40 Gino Odjick Bryan Wiedmeier*think these 2 will die also think less than 50% chance they get the req obit Francis George* Oj Brigance Rev Billy Graham Nurse Pauline Cafferkey George Coe "Voice of Woodhouse" Ritchii Kara Ian Brady Lynne Stewart Ib Melchior Rene Angelil Clive James Muhammad Ali Avdelaziz Bouteflika Desmond Tutu Valerie Harper Kirk Kerkorian Abdullah The Butcher Al Molinaro

Seems solid. Doesn't seem to be any notable gimme picks they overlooked and there doesn't seem to be any DVD,Tony Bennetts on the list who seem healthier then most people 20 years younger. Surprised/glad to see Jake Roberts on here

http://www.eonline.c...th-brain-cancer Edward Hermann who played Richard Gilmore on Gilmore Girls is dead at 71.He had been in a coma with brain cancer the last 3 weeks. If anyone had known about that they were 1 day short of scooping a big hit.

Sent my team a few hours ago. Hopefully no late breaking news on someone being on there deathbed comes out in the next 3 hours and cost me a free hit.

As regards to the DDP because TMIB gets so many entries and most people send the last couple days of the year he doesn't confirm with a pm until January unless you sent your team real early.

I say let em in. There was no late breaking news advantage they gained by being an hour or 2 late.

Lynda Bellingam died a few months ago.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2887927/Death-Alberta-Adams-post-WWII-blues-singers.html Didn't notice this posted anywhere on the forum. Singer Alberta Adams died Dec 25 and daily mail picked it up.

http://www.kirotv.com/ap/ap/entertainment/dustin-diamond-charged-in-stabbing-at-wisconsin-ba/njbTd/ Dustin Diamond who played Screech on Saved By The Bell was arrested Boxing Day for stabbing someone in a bar fight. Still not a good bet for death but it looks like he will stay in prison/jail for a while so there is always the outside chance he pisses off the wrong dude and gets shanked.

Just searched his fbook and Ritchii posted a day ago so he is still alive.
