Here's a tip for everyone:
I hear both Steve Sabol and his dad are a little under the weather.
Might be worth looking at.

Ok all...

I have just completed a minor update. I will get the rest of it done later tonight.

So far, we've had a lot of people participate. I'd appreciate one of my co-officials trying to input this information into a spread-sheet for me if they have time and maybe clean it up a little. I can then hypersnap and post it as a jpg or bitmap on the OP. It just looks all sorts of shitty in this format.
PM me if you can do that... **Cough Digger or Luv Cough***

That, among the parka makes for some pretty sweet prizes so far.

A lot of boards only run 8-10 picks but they have hundreds of participants. Since it looks like we're only going to have around 50, maybe this would be a good option?
Let me know.
What say you?

Aretha Franklin, cancer, april 20
Zsa Zsa Gabor, natural causes, may 1
Bob Barker, stroke, oct 11
Dick Cheney, heart attack, july 8

I haven't really read through the thread yet to see how much duplication there is, just hoping for the best.

Meh, what can you do?

BTW, I'm going to go ahead and go with an expansion draft after the 3/1 deadline then again at the 1/2 year mark.
3 picks in March for everyone then another 2 on 6/15. That'll be a nice addition I think. Now then, if there's a contingent of people that oppose this at that time, we'll reconsider so make your 1st 10 choices count people!

I think it's a bad idea to suggest that we can hash out the rules at some distant point in the future after the game has already begun and points have already started to roll in. Obviously, the people in the lead are going to oppose changes that make it easier for others to catch them and equally obviously, the people behind will want the opposite.

Don't worry about whether we like your rules. Stand tall and tell us how it will be whether we all like it or not.

On that note, we should have a rule that a person doesn't count if a player actually murders them. If I'm 8 points behind in December and Zsa Zsa is still in the that hospital bed, I shouldn't be able to go in there with a pillow and win that Chiefs jacket.

Now I want to do a statistical analysis to see if the general population is statistically more likely to die the day after their birthday than on their birthday or the day before. If my theory is true, we could start card-counting in celebrity death pools all over the internet.
