Windsor 2,233 Posted April 22, 2008 34 Christodoulos If I'm not mistaken, this one (of their two hits) would not have been famous enough for the DL. Thus the DL are at an unfair disadvantage (but who cares - we are winning). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted April 22, 2008 34 Christodoulos If I'm not mistaken, this one (of their two hits) would not have been famous enough for the DL. Thus the DL are at an unfair disadvantage (but who cares - we are winning). Christodoulos got a BBC obit, so it would have counted. Don Wittman, however, would not have, since it didn't even qualify for the looser DDP standards. But then again, they don't list him as "dead"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was surprised he didn't generate more obits given the time he was with CBC and the sporting events he reported on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but as far as we are concerned he was only famous in our sphere because of his illness. Were it not for his terminal ilness and young age, most of us would not have heard of him.

Lord Football 0 Posted December 25, 2008 Ha ha ha ha ...... I've been here years and never noticed this thread! Problem is, ours is based on the most popular picks in our game as opposed to a group of people who trawl the internet sniffing out cancer suffers and the like, Added to that ours was age based (like DDP) so we didn't get a lot of 90+. So you are always going to get sufficient gumballs who think the Queen is a possibility when those of us who know what's what wouldn't touch her with a barge poll and people like Winehouse et al are very popular with the yuffs. But yes, we got our arses kicked this year. I am not running it next year, someone else is going to have a go. But I will come up with a TFF 50, so you can mock me for the next 12 months.

I see they didn't bother taking us on this year. A mistake on TFF's part, judging by the DL's mid-term report. I reckon we can close this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
