Another Chris Mortensen update.

 

 

 

I received very encouraging news last week from my oncologist team of doctors at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center that now enables me to completely focus on recovery rather than treatment. The Stage IV throat (oropharyngel) cancer that was diagnosed in early January and treated with intensive chemotherapy and radiation has been virtually reduced to zero detection of the disease through the latest scans and exams.

Yes, I saw it, I've already been thinking that he is going to doom my "Generation Game" team.

Well, he is 65 and the game will probably go on a while...

The only American footballer of an advanced age that I can think of is John Madden, from the series of video games - and at 80 he is getting on a bit now!

 

Potential Deathlist material?

No. Only individuals who participated in proper sports are eligible for the DL.

Clarence Brooks, assistant coach for the Baltimore Ravens, dead at 65. Only bothering to mention him as he was a DDP pick for Very Ill Turned Very Dead, but no QO at the moment.

I don't understand the disclaimer at all. Was he a figure in the NFL? Yes. Did he die? Yes. Why wouldn't you 'bother' to post him if you came upon him first and he hadn't been posted yet?

Bruce DeHaven is the Carolina Panthers special teams coach, a role he had with the 49ers from 2000 to 2002, as well as on the Buffalo Bills from 1986 to 1999 during their run to four straight Super Bowls. He has late stage prostate cancer that typically leaves 3-5 years to live. So keep his name in mind for 2018-2020. He's coached in 6 Super Bowls.....he will obit.

Well the doctor gets punished too--he doesn't get to bilk the insurance or Medicaid for another 3-4 years as he expected, now his accounts receivable is all fucked up.

Edit: will be interesting to see if he gets an unlikely obit. NFL executives have missed out, lets see how non head coaches fare. I'm certain an owner or head coach would o it but anyone else remains in doubt. Testing the limits with this guy.

Former NFL safety, Keion Carpenter has been confirmed dead at 39.

 

Buggers up my Deathrace team but relieves me of a tough DDP decision.

 

Edit: He would have been a hit if only he lasted 3 more days, as he gets a Daily Mail obit.

Edit: I remain a bit stunned Bryan Weidmeier never got an obit, but here's a bump higher in the litmus test. NFL executive but also the son of an infamous owner. Let's see if he obits. Frankly Id give it 75% chance, meaning I'll be rather surprised if he doesn't.
