Since none of them have kicked it since last year, I can use the same list, rap singers. I’m figuring to score big if I get one. Drake Lil Baby Doja Cat The Weeknd Lil Durk Giveon Polo G Rod Wave Post Malone Moneybagg Yo Megan Thee Stallion J. Cole Kanye West Alternates DaBaby The Kid LAROI Gunna ---

I almost forgot to post last year, so I’m putting in early this year, since I got distracted Thursday at work and put this together: Shannen Doherty Maggie Smith Jane Badler Barbra Streisand Ben Kingsley Benjamin Netanyahu King Charles III Hank Williams Jr. George Strait Bill Clinton Donald Trump Rudy Guiliani Joe Biden Alternate: Camilla Parker-Bowles ---

Going mostly with the same Arizona politicians/people who think they’re in politics theme I go with every year. Since we have no clue who George Anthony Santos Devolder is or where he’s from, he gets a pass onto the list. Also a question, with the Opening Kickoff in 2024, is it going to be the first person to die, or the first person to have their death reported? Paul Gosar Joe Arpaio Jon Kyl Bruce Babbitt Fife Symington Dan Quayle Ann Kirkpatrick Harry Mitchell Debbie Lesko Gabrielle Giffords Dr. Shiva Jovan Hutton Pulitzer George Santos Alternates: Wendy Rogers Janet Napolitano Ron Barber ---

> [@lel](#): > > Also a question, with the Opening Kickoff in 2024, is it going to be the first person to die, or the first person to have their death reported? It’s the first person to die, which means in theory it can change up until 11:59:59 on December 31st if later information invalidates a previous opening kick-off winner. I forget how it works when multiple people kick it the same day for opening kick-off and the time of death is not known. ---

In 2015 we had two kickoff on January 1. They were Mario Cuomo and Jeff Golub. I did not try to find out times of death and declared those who had picked them were joint winners of the award. No rule, but something like that is not going to happen often, so I have played it by ear. ---
