Might have to revisit that next year if he makes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone ELSE put a team owner in a thread beyond the sport in which the franchise participated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing a quick search, I've actually posted multiple sports owners to this thread without issue. I will take it under advisement and reconsider the next time one croaks.

I picked him in the Cup after rumours of pancreatic cancer. He was supposedly comatose and dying already. It was never clear what happened then.
