BS, you can't possibly be serious. Agents and other mouthpieces are paid to lie. It's pretty much certain that Newman has cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted June 13, 2008 BS, you can't possibly be serious. Agents and other mouthpieces are paid to lie. It's pretty much certain that Newman has cancer. I say "Why lie?" Here is one of the latest articles which this A.E. Hotcher claims to be misquoted by the media. Some political figures (Probably Than Shwe.. Umaru Yar’Adua... Yasuo Fukuda) are all names who tried to conceal their health struggles, but that's politics. From the reactions in some of the articles, I'm being given the impression (He had surgery, he is now recovering) sort of vibe. I don't think it's impossible that he has cancer but having it be terminal is an example of how tabloids overreact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The answer to "why lie" is that celebrities don't like their personal struggles to be aired publicly (a perfectly understandable reaction). There is far too much evidence here to deny that Paul Newman has a very serious type of cancer (lung cancer is probably it). If we were sitting in a bar I would ask how much you want to bet.

With that said, as much as I'm rooting for him to recover (if he's indeed sick), at his advanced age (83) and the way he has looked, I don't have much hope for him.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted June 13, 2008 There is far too much evidence here to deny that Paul Newman has a very serious type of cancer There is hard evidence of much speculation but there isn't hard evidence of what the extremity of his condition is. It's rational to theorize about the possible circumstances but until it's official (which it is not) I'm not fully convinced his diagnosis is terminal. With many of his associates denying his illness and with him replying "I'm doing nicely" it encourages one to think his illness is exaggerated. By how much it is exaggerated is the next question. Without being optimistic couldn't you agree? Emphysema is a little different then lung cancer. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 13, 2008 Emphysema is a little different then lung cancer. . Yes, but short of a double lung transplant, it's an irreversible, degenerative and terminal condition which leads to a horrible death. Give me a quick end from lung cancer any day. I doubt very much Paul Newman has emphysema, he was still halfway fit and healthy until last year - acting, motor racing etc - someone would have noticed his breathing difficulties earlier if he had a chronic pulmonary complaint.

I won't go to his house or call him on the phone, OK? Regarding whether I want him to recover, although it's been said, the idea of this sort of thing (death pools, death leagues) is to correctly predict who's going to die, not wish for it. One of my first picks in the Death League was Mother Teresa. I admired her as one of the best people in the world and certainly didn't want her to die, but as she was old and sick, I selected her as a terrific candidate.

I enjoy participating in these death pools though there are times I wish that I wouldn't be picking names of celebs I actually like (Newman, Patrick Swayze, etc.). Though frankly, the celebrities that i am rooting to die (Fidel Castro, Billy Graham), aren't exactly knocking on death's door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deadsox 894 Posted June 16, 2008 Just like in sports betting, it's best to keep emotions out of it. I wouldn't bet on teams I like, e.g. because I'd always be thinking up reasons why they might win instead of rationally figuring if they were likely to win. In my league, one team used their "franchise" tag on Osama bin Laden for six years. Needless to say, he didn't score and they lost money all of those years.
