Predictor 1,018 Posted December 24, 2015 17. David Berkowitz Son of Sam, right? Or did you confuse him with the British musician Daisy Berkowitz (who has cancer and is an overall popular pick)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or did you confuse him with the British musician Daisy Berkowitz (who has cancer and is an overall popular pick)? oh I thought he had cancer,keep him in for lols if he does die he'll get me unique points and is as fat as fuck.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 25, 2015 Thank you all for posting your teams for me to see and pillage. I don't understand the practice but who am I? And yes----I haven't fuck else better to do this week. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,483 Posted December 25, 2015 At least its mostly the cultural osmosis picks (ie the ones most people will have) that are being shared. It'd be more annoying if one had announced, say, picking one at random, someone like Danny Kirwan having stage 4 cancer. *innocent face* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted December 25, 2015 Exactly. It's OK to share information on those who are significantly ill and knowledge of this is widespread in the papers (everyone will pick Allan Wells in 2016 because of the recent news), but nobody would be foolish enough to share obscure or unique picks.

I dunno I've tracked a few names I've never heard before from your side of the Pond to see what tribulations put them in the forefront. I've not stole anyone yet, as I'm happy with my compilation that admittedly is US heavy (I haven't daily access to the news over there). But I don't see people holding back much.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 25, 2015 Btw turned in theme team and going over notes I found two names I was going to substitute. Is that a problem before kickoff? I'm not going to continually update before Dec 31, it is an honest one-time mistake. I understand they can't keep switching people Willy nilly. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've Googled various ways to find out WTF your talking about with Monseniour Wells; all I see is he's recently been accused of doping, no news there. Can't find a headline anywhere re: health so that must be local stuff I'm not ever going to be privy to. In any case, no bother. Just pointing that out. Not a reason in the world I would include him and this juxtaposed with your 'everyone will choose him' so it must be terrible news. SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 26, 2015 Btw seeing as Lauren Hill was allowed I can only presume there is virtually no rule on 'celebrity'. The obituary in a qualifying source is what defines celebrity. Please advise. No one seems to be answering my questions so I won't be happy if my team is gashed with denials post hoc.
