Get ready to collect your points.
Minister Louis Farrakhan, who recently ceded leadership of the Nation of Islam to an executive board because of ill health, has undergone a 12-hour operation, the organization said Saturday.
Physicians have told Farrakhan's family they were pleased with the operation's outcome but will monitor him closely for the next 24 to 48 hours, the Chicago-based group said in a statement.
No other details were released, and a man who answered the telephone at the office of Farrakhan's chief of staff declined to reveal the nature of the surgery or where it was performed.
Farrakhan, 73, wrote in a Sept. 11 letter to followers that he was anemic and 20 pounds lighter because of complications from an ulcer in the anal area. He had surgery in 2000 for prostate cancer.
Yeah we'll see what happens. An aryian ulcer in the anal area can't be much encouragement to keep living. I'm still pissed James Brown couldn't wait an extra week.

You mean if your pick gets taken out of the game 4 days before it starts, you don't get a provisional?
wtf?
Everyone should be free to change picks right up till the ball drops.
btw, what's the rule on time zones? if a left coaster takes somebody who croaks an hr and a half after midnight in NYC, does he get the points? The year wasn't started yet where he picked.

Might be some argument which year he qualified for, though

You'd think, but no. I dropped the death pool magistrate a PM on it and he just said I'm SOL. The "deadline" is Xmas day.

Good question. I'll bet you're screwed out of a pick if that happens. The Death pool is not very flexible.

I asked for the entire Miami Hurricanes and the Florida Gators teams, but was overruled. I had to pick a specific player... tough choice, but somebody on one of those teams is going to get capped next year.
