I’m seeing a lot of people have Joey Martin Feek down too. Do I get extra credit, since I added her to my draft list in May? ---

I went back and looked at my choices for 2010. I actually wasn’t surprised to find out that 7 out of 10 were still alive. Rather than taking the time and effort to figure out who’s probably going to die, only to have them turn out to be immortal, I’m just going to relist my picks from 2010, filled in with some of the other popular picks who have reused to die. I trust none of these people need any explanation.
