Baker, you said YOURSELF: players must help me keep track of deaths this year, because the game has grown to big for me to run myself. Since ADMITS he hasn’t been tracking his picks, WHY is he STILL receiving credit for his correct picks?! I assume you have no good answer Baker.

She’s like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Still here cause nobody wants to deal with 'em in the afterlife.

> Bob Suter, a key member of the "Miracle on Ice" U.S. hockey team that upset the Soviets and went on to win gold at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, died Tuesday of an apparent heart attack.

Bob Suter, a small but pugnacious defenseman whose speed and feistiness helped him earn a spot on Herb Brooks’ “Miracle on Ice” team that won the Olympic gold medal in Lake Placid in 1980, died Tuesday after suffering what a friend said was a massive heart attack while at the rink he owned in Middleton, Wis.  
Suter, the father of NHL standout Ryan Suter, was 57 years old.

I’d say “Thank you,” but I’m not (quite) at zero, and it’s a thankless job, so I’m not gonna.  
Thank-you

[Richard Kiel](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/jaws-actor-bond-films-richard-kiel-dies-74) has died at age 74. Most people know him as Jaws on some Bond movies.

I had him a couple of years ago in the Deathpool.

He was 7’2" tall.

RIP Mr Larson (Happy Gilmore)
