Kenny Reardon has died. He was on Canadian Paul's theme team.

 

I'm quite surprised, especially after reading recently that two of my Theme Team picks (Elmer Lach and Milt Schmidt) were doing as well as some of the others who were a couple of years younger. Hadn't even known that Reardon had Alzheimer's. Anyhow, site updated to reflect his death.

 

Also, per the guest question, the site is now located at www.canadianpaul.com after some server issues.

Site updated to reflect the death of Bill Brown (here's the key obit in case you were wondering). Congrats to The Carking Lot, who is but one point away from tying the lead!

I think Paul Scofield was another one of my misses or? Is there going to be a prize for the most misses?

We can call it the annual Maryport Trophy. :)

Tyrone Jones takes a downturn

http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsFootball/home

 

 

Probably won't count in the DDP; but my US based pool will count him...

 

So he is still alive. I hadn't heard anything for a long time and was a bit worried that he had died ages ago and it had slipped under the radar somehow. Thanks for that.

 

Anyhow, I'm a bit swamped at the moment, so I probably won't get to the Heston update until Thursday. Preliminary estimates show that The Carking Lot will take the lead in the Ordinary Team category though. Well done to all those who picked him!

Hi. I just had a look at my team from last year, to see how many of those have died this year and I noticed I never got my points for Jane Wyman. I know it's last year's game but could I still have my points?

Yes, but first you must bring me the head of one of my currently living DDP picks...

 

Seriously though, there's no petitioning or anything like that... all are welcome. All you have to do is send in your team in August and you're in!

Maybe I'm missing something here or not understanding your request, but why would you get points last year for a contestant who died this year?

 

EDIT: I just noticed that Wyman died on September 10, and I do remember that I originally started the competition twoish weeks into September. Is that what you're referring to? Because I can't remember if I said I would end the first competition on August 31 or the September 1X (whatever day was one day before the first one started).

Ignore me CP, lack of food has been making me confused.

There's a dead former ruler of Kuwait to add as well, breathing life into my largely moribund theme team.

Hey all - back from San Diego, but a little under the weather as I managed to get second-degree burns on both of my shoulders. In any case, I will update for the hits of Sendler and al-Sabah shortly, as well as the near misses of Hofmann and Lamb. I want to review all the messages that I've missed here first though.

Haven't done this in a while, so please point it out if I made any mistakes in updating.

For my category, is "People that I wish death upon" a legit category. If not, I may go with people with bounties on their head (should achieve nearly the same list minus Rosie O'Donnell).

It wouldn't be legit considering it's a personal sort of list, I'd think.

Right, since you could claim that anyone is on that list, so it's not discriminating or verifiable. Head bounties should be fine though.

 

Anyhow, Ray Getliffe has apparentely died of liver cancer, which I was completely unaware that he had. Site updated anyhow.

 

From what I've heard, by the way, apparentely Emile Bouchard and the other Ted Kennedy are doing poorly, Smith is frail but otherwise hale, and the rest of the players on my theme team are sprightly for their age, except for maybe Stewart.
