[Andy Robustelli, Giants’ Hall of Fame Defensive End, Dies at 85](http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/sports/football/andy-robustelli-giants-hall-of-fame-defensive-end-dies-at-85.html) I had him on my first list (all former NFLers). But I amended my list, to include Harmon Killebrew. but my second draft also included Seve and Zsa Zsa. So I got more points than I would have if I had kept him. I had forgotten that I picked Zsa Zsa and Seve. I am going to have some points on the update tomorrow!!! YeY Me!!! (but none for Zsa Zsa) ---
