It's a bit early to talk about the 2019 list-  a lot of them won't make it to the end of 2018 !

[CaptainChorizo 1,977]

Former Washington DC NFL QB Billy Kilmer turns 80 next year. Considering he had a drinking problem for much of his playing career,dude is already close to Overtime as far as life expentency goes for Alcoholic's.

[Sir Creep 7,070]

Fwiw Billy Kilmer is on one of the teams in my home DP.  Interesting pick.

[JR976evil 906]

Whilst watching the Stephen Lawrence doc on BBC looked up former judge William MacPherson, author of the MacPherson report into the bungled original investigation. Now aged 92 and would surely generate major news coverage as said report is considered a major landmark in British legal history

He was almost on my DDP team this year.

Did you have a controversy between him and Sonny Jurgensen?  Wobble and Win with Billy!

Abby Lee Miller hospitalized for thyroid condition...

 

TMZ goes big on the Abby Lee Miller "cancer" talk, but looks like it's just Burkitt's lymphoma, so don't rush to your longlists just yet. Still, don't think ol' ALM will be making her 70th birthday.

So there are many people on the clock right now:

 

1)Mitzi Shore. In the final stages of Parkinson's, entered hospice care.

2)Chuck McCann: Reportedly critical in hospital. Illness unknown.

3)Fergie McCormick: Very ill in hospital with throat cancer

4)Bishop David Foley: Entered hospice care for incurable cancer.

5)Fu Da-Ren: Final stages of pancreatic cancer.

6)Li Rui: Hospitalized for multiple organ failure.

7)Karolos Papoulias: Still ailing after breaking his hip.

8)Le Duc Anh: Has been in hospital since the end of February in serious conditions.

9)Bishop Francis Quinn: hospice care since December.

 

Let me know if I forgot someone.

Li Rui has improved and he will be discharged soon. Fucking Asians.

[drol 11,944]

Italian actor Nino Castelnuovo is currently in hospital in failing health. He has become completely blind because of glaucoma and is fighting a long battle against depression.

[charon 4,943]

If you like speculative punts, you could try Dylan McWilliams.

 

Only 20 but in the last 3 years he's been ramping up his level of peril.

Not really sure where he goes next. Tiger?

[TheBigBB 34]

If he lives to 2019, I have to regretfully nominate John "totalbiscuit" Bain, The Cynical Brit. He's been battling cancer for a long time, and according to his Twitter it's getting worse, and chemo hasn't been working anymore. I would think he would get a British obit considering that's where he hails from. His Youtube channel has 2.2 million subscribers, 3360 videos, and he pulls in enough views for that to be his job. A video on the "H3 Podcast" channel just discussing his cancer has pulled in a million views. I probably don't need to ramble on any further justifying it, but I think these online personalities tend to be met with more skepticism.

 

Anyway, this tweet should be enough to justify the fact that he's screwed:

 

 

His oncologist suggested stopping all treatment. Honestly, I'm very sad about this, he's a nice guy. Fucking cancer.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

I’m not sure if he’s really deathlisty or not, but the above tweets definitely signal a turn from an iffy pick to on the clock...

[Sir Creep 7,070]

I just reviewed Total B in depth for Cup purposes and his on again off again I’m getting better no I’m retreating into the abyss seems whiny and attention whoring to me.  I didn’t see anything in recent tweets or posts that made me take him more seriously than before.  Oh sure he’s in trouble at some point, medical history suggests about 1.5 years yet.

 

BigBB you have a point that it’s about time journalists give credence to Internet personalities; but to date that hasn’t happened much, as QOs go.  I do think TB would get one though.

 

Opposite if Whiny Biscuit is none other than Devin Lima who hasn’t posted shit in 2018, no news is not good news when the Big C is involved.  I’m thinking those who gambled may get some payoff, but maybe he’s suddenly a private person pffft.  But he’s not an Internet personality, so I digress.

I saw the racing pundit John McCririck on the TV a week or so ago and he looked very gaunt. I looked into him and it said he was recovering from severe flu but it looked a bit more serious than that to me. I note he is 78 and could be one to watch.

Mansoor Ahmed, WC winning keeper for Pakistan at hockey, needs a heart transplant st the age of 49.

 

And needs to go to India to get it.....

We need a South of the Border thread for Mexican/Central American interests.  Next time I guess.

Tejano musician and producer Mario Vigil has been diagnosed with colon cancer.

Frank Windsor for the DL 2019 campaign starts here. Mainly because every two months I go "wait, Frank Windsor's still alive?"

Continuing with the list of Immortals I promised:

 

1)Anne Hamilton-Byrne (1921). She has been in hospice care for ages. No one would miss her, but she clings to life. Amazing.

 

2)Colin Baddiel (1934) He was reported to be near death last December and has lived with dementia for years. But it's clear enough being picked by MPFC gives you some extra years.

He was one of these underrated Directors although he directed some classics like around the world in 80 days, Logans Run or Dam Busters.

Rest in peace, my 3rd hit this year

I'm just saying he is incredibly unlucky with unique picks. He is a good deadpooler but AHB was one of the greatest deadpooling screwups ever.
