Death Impends 7,957 Posted June 8, 2015 Derby-Lewis was my third sub this year, didn't make the final 20 on count of me having enough 70-somethings in my squad as is and my general hesitancy towards jailbird punts. That being said, I do think he's near the end now given there's no doubt he has lung cancer (the only dispute being the stage it's at) and that this is someone who has constantly tried for parole to no avail, so it must be dire for him if the court finally let him go home.
