Celebrity Death Pool 2020

Don’t worry I’m sure I won’t be there long.

John Lafia, who co-wrote ‘Child’s Play’ and co-wrote and directed ‘Child’s Play 2’, died on April 29 in Los Angeles. He was 63.

Former Oakland A’s pitcher (and one of their “Five Aces”) Matt Keough has died at 64. No cause of death has been established.

Are you expecting somebody you picked will come back?

Cady Groves, singer/songwriter of “This Little Girl” and “Oil and Water” has died at 30, of natural causes (according to her brother).

Don Shula dies at 90.

I am a sad dolfan today. Coach Shula was a great coach and a good man.

English actress Jill Gascoine died last week at the age of 83.

17 points for me.

To keep me out of the top 5? Possibly.

Agreed, great coach and great guy. My earliest memories watching pro football were in the late 1970s and early 80s (really after 1980-81). Shula was just such a classy guy. A calm demeanor that masked his intensity.

What’s amazing about Shula was how he was able to change with the times. He didn’t try to force players to fit into a system; he adapted his system to fit the strengths of his players. No better example of this than when he switched from a power running game to a pass-happy offense when Marino took over in 1984.

Supreme Court Judge RB Ginsburg had a gall bladder episode today. Resting comfortably in a hospital.

Denis Goldberg, , South African anti-apartheid freedom fighter imprisoned with Nelson Mandela.

Terence Frisby, playwright best known for “There’s a Girl in my Soup”.

My wife saw an early news report that said she had an infection, and we leapt to the conclusion it was COVID. Scared the shit out of us for about an hour, till we got more details. Rock on, Ruth! Stay strong!

Brian Anthony Howe, the lead vocalist for Bad Company, dead at 66.

I guess that means he’s not bad company any longer.

I’d be surprised if he was good company, though.
