If that's alright with you TMIB, I'd like to enter my xmas lecturers list in the DDP, as theme team Next slide, please, with proud captain and joker Morris and a single substitute: Lloyd Peck (strange that, no Wiki).

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)?

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*

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 am not picking him because he won't be Wells enough to see Dec 31 when I submit my squad

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.

I refer you to Spade and DDT's teams in one weeks time.

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.

Perfect example of time lapse or gap in the information world. 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.

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.

The only people you cant pick are ISIS hostages or people on Death Row or scheduled for some Kind of Govt Executions. Anyone else who is over 18 and you think will get an Obit from one of the Qualifying News Sources is fair game.

Technically you can pick governmental death row inmates, just that they can only qualify for points if their death is by causes other than execution.

Ok will work with that rule.

It's a bitch not seeing the qualifying media on a daily basis.
