Anyway, hoping I picked the right ailing astronaut for this round.

I did not.

I made the brilliant decision to pick both in February, but neither in March.

So, the dice rolls:

 

Perhaps 0-0 The Killing Time

Perhaps, Hell, Cpt Chorizo are heads.

The Killing Time, Famous6eva and Arghton are tails.

Best of 5 mode:

"Deteriorating Health" is a good search term.  In my experience African media seem to use it as a euphemism for "about to drop dead", hence me including our man Kabobo when I saw this at the end of February. 

Except that term isn’t in this story.  That said I saw a few others posted the following day that could have been discovered.  Well done!

I actually think that counts, as it's an official, curated source of information. I'll update tomorrow.


I don’t think that should have had a prayer of counting, abd I SCORED 3 points.

This May help you sleep - and it doesn’t appear to be from an aggregator but who can say.

Manuel Ruiz de Lopera was the president of Real Betis (Sevilla) for 10 years from 1996-2006. In 1997 he managed the then most expensive transfer in history for Brazilian player Denilson. A divisive figure, he once had a stadium named after him, and then his name removed again. He also participated in the traditional Spanish sport of confusing football business with public interest. MariNisia scores a unique hit, AND joker points, very well done!

Charlie Bird is a hit here. Eric Dornfeld (typo'd by me in my entry as Dornfield) will be if he gets a QO, having died last night.


How the hell did Dornfeld pass the fame test?  (Yes I’m only just looking at the names as I research for April).  Honestly, can someone PahLEEEZ run this thing without allowing people who coach a group of 13 year old footballers in Africa, or in this case any one of a thousand college hockey players?

Idiot


It’s a damn shame this game has been watered down to a pile of shit then.  I’ll accept being an idiot who thinks the basic rule when this game began ‘any English language obit’ was all that was needed without kowtowing to utter horseshit.

It's been this way for at least four years.

After a 1 hit month, losing 5 picks in the span of a week isn't helping.

Nobody pick Tom Henry, Fort Wayne Mayor with late stage stomach cancer?

I’m sure he’s on a lot of our lists for later rounds if we should be fortunate enough to make it.

 

Ah it's too late to pick Tom Henry as he is....https://www.21alivenews.com/2024/03/29/fort-wayne-mayor-tom-henry-passes-away-following-battle-with-cancer/

Nancy Valverde continues last year's tradition of notable lesbians becoming DeathList Cup hits. She most notably wore men's clothing in a time when that was regarded as socially impossible. She became a mainstay in the Los Angeles queer community and received some late recognition in recent years. msc manages to turn around his fortunes in the game against therewillbedeaths7 and hands over the "best loser" distinction to his opponent.

The next month is approaching, so prepare your teams.

 

It's been a tough month, lots of unlikely recoveries, a non-obit, some names just hang on forever. So some people might want to prepare a team just in case they manage to get that decisive last minute hit.

          Just in case I get a late hit to win I sent in an April Cup team.  I offer my conditional congratulations to my esteemed opponent Caleb H and wish you good luck in the next round.

I haven’t gotten through all the names, but just who are Mike Gunther, Sujata, and David R Rosen?  Google isn’t my friend (at least I see no one with a health concern). Thanks in advance.

David H. Rosen was my second sub that came into play for March. No info on Google about his health situation, I found it on social media. By the way, he's this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_H._Rosen
