2026 Celebrity Death Pool

NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen has died at 91.

Dee Snyder ill enough to quit Twisted Sister.

Dee Snider resigns from Twisted Sister due to ‘health challenges’

Dang, that’s a shame about Dee. I met him once at a book signing. Good guy. He also collaborated on a song once with my favorite singer.

In other news, cancer proved to be Brad Arnold’s kryptonite. Dead of colon cancer at only 47.

53 points for me.

Any chance a mod could delete me Dec. 12 list? It’s a themed list that was posted here in error after I’d already posted my actual list.

I know it’s not the most important thing going on in the world right now, but hey…points is points.

Thanks!

And a whole bunch of us.

Me too. I would rather have a unique pick but it’s better than a zero.

One week into February and I’m a hundred points behind?

Former Kansas City Royal Terrance Gore dead at age 34. He was on the 2015 Royals team that won the World Series.

To keep the theme going Greg Brown the original guitar player from Cake has died.

Re. Terrance Gore, it’s scary and sad to see a 34 year old die of complications during routine surgery.

125 points behind, if you’ve got zero like me.

William Foege, a key figure (possibly the key figure if you had to choose one) in eradication of small pox, dead at 89 of heart failure.

Band wagon alert:

Aw shit. Not a celebrity in her own right, as far as I know, but Jeff Tiedrich’s wife died.
Claudia Long, R.I.P. - by Jeff Tiedrich

BTW I was not on that band wagon. I had him as my first alternate with some other long shots taking his place.

I really liked him playing a fictionalized version of himself on Don’t Trust the B—— in Apartment 23

Brian

My favorite role was his cameo as himself in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

Finally a bandwagon I didn’t miss!
