Clorox Bleachman 2,438 Posted January 22, 2020 It looked like we could make it through the short submission period without a single death, but it sadly wasn't to be. @Etushispushingupdaisies I need a sub from you, and @Banana you have the opportunity to nominate another Wildcard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,058 Posted January 29, 2020 I may not be the only person to have Chris Doleman on my team, but damn sure I'll be first to claim as my first hit (seeing as Terry Jones dns, grumble). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7941667/Hall-Fame-DE-Doleman-dies-age-58.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is the only place I do have him, as I don't like picking people I've never heard of and have no interest in. Which means the majority of wrestlers and US sports people. This pool is an exception as we are picking other people's picks, so I regard it as more of a lucky dip. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annami 85 Posted January 30, 2020 I couldn't find anything in English yet, but Finnish writer, politician, film director etc. Jörn Donner has died. My second hit in this in two days (in the case of a qualifying obit of course). EDIT: An obit in English, but in Finnish media.
