I am sure to end the year with at least three. I can't see John Wooden and Bob Shepherd making it through the year.

I am on the CUSP on notching my second correct prediction for 2010: John Wooden is in grave condition.
All in fairness though, I had a slight advantage - you all live on the East Coast and John Wooden is not on your radar at all.

I'm pissed about Dennis Hopper. I learned of his illness within a week of when I made my 5 picks. I was praying he would live just long enough for my 2011 list.

Ill tell you whose radar John Wooden has been on for years, our own Gang Bang Steve. He hates the man. John Wooden was always paraded out to comment on one thing or another in the sports world, and it got annoying to Steve. When I texted him about Wooden being in grave condition last night, he texted back, "Finally!!!!"

Wooden doesn't necessarily annoy me, but I will say this....
In this day and age of one-and-done players and a revolving door for rosters...what Coach K has done over the years is more impressive than what Coach Wooden did. Wooden basically won ALL of those titles with 2 1/2 different squads. Coach K has a radically different squad every year.

So Bob Sheppard, while not an impressive pick, finally gave the layup to Kenny, Cho, and myself. God bless.

Congrats Giambi, you've caught up to me with 4 of your 20 picks. Can we start adding in our 2011 picks now? I've been late the last two years, why not start in early this time?

Since we arent doing this for money or anything, there isnt any need to work out a point system. But still, there should be some extra "kudos" of some kind if your pick is original, or if they arent already 100 years old.
Yeah, like what the fugg more do I want? I dunno, but the way we have it sort of discourages the more risky selections, no? I'm probably too competitive over this stupid shit. nevermind!

You're late picks is almost like baseball steroids. If you pick someone for 2011, and they die in 2010, that doesn't count.

Chump dont want de help, chump don' get da help. Jive ass dude don't got no brains anyhow. LOL!
Giambi - takes the lead! Although the more picks you have, the higher chance of winning, and you've picked 17 people. Thats more than anyone else, and I'd expect MSB to be on top of his own 1st picks too. If its been 4 years, the first players should all be @ 20(ish) people, right?
I cant be sure I wasnt involved in this the last go-around, but I cant be sure of much of anything due to a lousy memory for stupid malarky. Do the rest of us have any older names we can post too?

Don't be hating. My 17 picks are all legit. Shoulda had Mrs. Edwards.... well, hopefully Mike Douglas makes it to 12/31.
