Someone needs to go to the thread from last year and figure out the winner.

I say we go ahead, same rules. I'll lead us off....

Chuck Berry musician heart attack
Nancy Reagan ex-First Lady natural causes
Jimmy Dean country singer heart failure
Tila Tequila MTV star drug overdose
Art Donovan NFL Hall of Famer stroke

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - assassination
Kim Jong Il - kidney failure
John Wooden - natural causes
Andy Rooney - heart attack
Donald Sutherland - heart attack

Derek Jeter. Plane crash.
Alex Rodrigues. Plane crash.
Robinson Cano. Plane crash.
Mark Teixeira. Plane crash.
Melky Cabrera. Plane crash.

eventually an entire team would get wiped out.

Seve Ballesteros golfer - cancer
J.D. Salinger author - pneumonia
Dick Clark tv host - diabetes
Ernie Harwell baseball announcer - cancer
Betty Ford former First Lady - heart failure

You saw that interview on Sportcenter a few weeks ago, didn't you? He's definitely winding down.

I didn't see it. Was going to take him last year, but someone beat me to it.

Elizabeth Taylor- heart failure
Loni Anderson-cancer
Sylvester Stallone-heart attack
Woody Allen-stroke

Pikkkle - ruptured jayhole
Pikkkle's lover - AIDS from Pikkkle

Re: WestcoastStyle's picks. I remember reading the plan that MLB has in place if a team is wiped out in a plane crash. I certainly hope I never see it happen.

senator byrd-old as hell

bush 41- stroke

jimmah carter- heart attack

john travolta - suicide

any one of tiger's hoes - unfortunate accident

what is the plan?

Muhammed Ali - stroke
Flava Flav - overdose boyee
Bryant Gumbel - cancer
Diego Maradona - heart attack
Osama Bin Laden - lucky shot

Already picked

SI had it all laid out many years ago. As I recall it involves each team getting to hold a certain number of position (franchise) players and then the rest go into a draft. It's the plan no one wants to talk about, but it does exist. This gives you an idea;

Mike Tyson - Car Crash
Glen Beck - Brain Anyuerism
Martha Stewart - Cuisinart accident
Paris Hilton - Penile Asphyxiation
Andy Dick - Penile Aspyxiation

we can edit these, right?

If so, I would like to pull daddy bush for ronnie james dio - cancer

Jerknic - mauling by reindeer
Pikkkle - anal fissures
IndyFrisco - slave uprising
smackaholic - Christopher Reeve syndrome from a car vs. bicycle accident
mvscal - torn in half by competing out of control admirers, S Pikkkle and Cuda

I would have gone with "colonic failure due to massive black anal dildo" but, I think we're both on the same page.

With these deaths, the Yanks would still contend for the Wild Card...

Same thing with Harwell. It's all but a HOME RUN!!!

But arent points paid by subtracting the age of the dead from 100? That'd be 1 for Wooden and 4 or 5 fro Harwell. No risk no reward.

Eddie Van Halen cancer
Ron Wood, more cancer
Larry Bird, Heart
Tom Brokaw, Mountain Lion
Courtney Love, nat. causes

A lot of the good ones have been taken already, I'll go with:

George Steinbrenner: Cancer
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Leukemia
Denis Leary: Lung cancer (nobody can smoke like that and live very long)
Barbara Billingsley: Natural causes
Amy Winehouse: Accidental drug overdose

2010 won't be a good year for brown people if I'm right

Linsey Lohan-trainwreck
Keith Richards- (may not count as he's been unofficially dead for years) od
Oprah-heart attack
Kwame Kilpatrick-suicide
Jermaine Jackson-Still riding Mike's coattails-cancer

I was hoping something along the lines of "decapitated during melee at Wayne County Circuit Courthouse."

22 stab wounds and shot 16 times, police say it's the worst case of suicide they've ever seen.

Just checking in to see who the total shitstains who get jollies from a "death pool" are.

Carry on, wastes of oxygen.

Muhammad Ali - 'Natural' causes
Rush Limbaugh - Heart attack
Dick Clark - Anybody SEE him on New Years Eve? Damn
Eminem - Gunshot wound
Jimmy Carter - Plane crash

Th wrote:Dick Clark - Anybody SEE him on New Years Eve? Damn

I thought he looked pretty good for an 80 year old recovering stroke victim. I presume he has access to the best health care available. Which means he might well be counting down for another 10 years.

14...12...10...11... ????

Papa Willie wrote: Obama - sniper

I'd have picked either "struck by lightening on the golf course" or "lung damage from too many menthol cigarettes"

I'll take BSmack- apoplexy

Nancy Pelosi- strangled to death by a defeated Blue Dog
Harry Reid- brains bashed in by Mrs Reid over the prospect of having to live in Nevada again
Arianna Huffington- just too fucking stupid to continue living
