2021 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

The Game Room
1532

I only got two deaths for 2021, but they were Rush and Madoff, so I can’t complain.

1533

Yikes, it’s like a wish-list*, not a death pool. Gosh, who is next?

*Especially Madoff

1534

A tweet from the Elizabeth Dole Foundation states that Bob Dole passed this morning, age 98.

Yay! Still in 13th place, but off of 75 points!

1537

Yeah, I didn’t go for it for some reason this year. I guess I sacrificed 2 points to get more points elsewhere, but that hasn’t worked out too well.

1538

Same here, dang it.

1540

Musician John Miles has died at 72.

1541

Fred Hiatt, the Washington Post editorial page editor, leaves 34 points on the table.

He’s opining on the fjords, he’s an ex-pundit, etc.

(Props to commenter SpaceUnit at the Balloon Juice blog for ‘opining on the fjords.’)

1542

Still hoping to rack up another corpse this year, preferably one that’s not also on jeezums’ list.

1543

Country musician and Grand Ole Opry legend Stonewall Jackson has died at 89.

Rene Hofer, MX2 rider, was killed in an avalanche at the age of 19.

1544

Looks like Stonewall met his Waterloo.

1545

By contrast, my only points, in my inaugural Death Pool, came from Henry Aaron; and I would happily go 0-for-2021 to have the Hammer back with us.

Former Saints defensive end dies while in police custody. Glenn Foster, Jr., was 31 years old.

1549
