Ideas and Possibilities for 2019

[Sir Creep 7,070]

I know I know.  The Committee has zero intentions of ever putting a star American athlete on the list, even if it is Bart Starr.  So I"m wasting my typing fingers.
However, Starr had the same stem cell treatments in Mexico that Gordie Howe had, the results of which lasted less than 2 years.  That threshold will be reached long before 2019 so this may be moot.  [Note: QB John Brodie also received these stem cell treatments, but is like 7 years younger than Howe/Starr and seemingly ok at this exact time].

But I noticed this little gem today: Ravens TE Ben Watson received the NFL's Bart Starr Award, and was notified of this fact by a phone call from none other than...... Bart Starr's WIFE!  
Why, pray tell, can't Bart make a simple phone call?   Hmmmmm inquiring minds want to know.  Guessing he hasn't long.

Well ok there's also THIS article from this week saying 'Bart Starr recommends blah blah blah'  by a letter he sent.
He didn't send shit.  Bart Starr Enterprises sent the letter, and again it is signed by his wife Cherry.  So this week we see he can't sign his name and can't make a phone call.
I'm telling you, Bart Starr won't see Sir Creep's birthday in June.

He was on one of my lesser DDP teams (ie the theme team which wound up being a normal team because too many of the theme died!) last year. I agree he seems to be on the road out. Not on any of my teams this year - not even the AltObits - because I forgot about him.

I was fortunate enough to throw his name into play in my personal DP I run, along with fellow GBPacker Willie Wood.  Figured they might go on the same day lol wouldn't that be sumptin!
Bart was a salvage lot for me on DDP this year.  Oh well.

Though it is not available on the net, Zeffirelly gave today a lenghty interview to Italian journal La Nazione, with photos of him. He is apparently well and does not look frail at all. He said he has fear of death, but no particular health issues at the moment and is happy of the life he's living. No reference to recent sexual allegations.

 

I think the pneumonia thing last year was a bit exaggerated.

Saw him on a talk show not long ago. He’s still doing pretty good it seems. He’s performing live in Vegas in April. I mean at his age anything can happen but not one I would really bank on.

I put Zeffirelli on my list. Old, recent sexual allegations against him.

Woody Allen seems to be a good pick: old, sexual allegations against him.

also put Stan Lee.

 

I´ve read  the list of 2018 Academy Award nominees and award-nominated roles. I wonder if Tonya Harding's mother, born in 1940 is obitable. Her character in Oscar nominated movie is despicable as hell. She is estranged from her daughter for more than a decade. She does not look well. 

 

 

Put Prince Henrik of Denmark as he has dementia.

Not sure if this a parody or the real Ole Anderson

If it's real seems like he would be a nice punt pick. 12,000 tweets but none since late 2016

I am surprised no one mentioned this on the forum when it happened but in June of last year famous American actor Stacy Keach suffered a heart attack on opening night of a play he was starring in. This year he is 77 and has a history of heart problems.

Ginger Baker 19 August 1939 (age 78) - still around but who knows why?

 

love this quote: God is punishing me for my past wickedness by keeping me alive and in as much pain as he can.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Baker

In February 2013 Baker said he has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from years of heavy smoking, and chronic back pain from degenerative osteoarthritis.^[29] In June 2016 it was reported he was recovering from open heart surgery, but had also suffered a bad fall which caused swollen legs and feet.^[55]

[gcreptile 10,964]

I stumbled across the original Ocean's 11 movie and noticed that one of the eleven, Henry Silva, is still alive.

 

Wikipedia has him at age 89, but a friend, who blogged about him, said he was 91 in 2017:

Edit: DDP pick with age 89..hmm...

They did not say what interest. It's deadpooling interest I think.
