OK, sorry for the confusion.
Brian
Last time I checked, he is still dead.
Yahoo must have had an error on their web site. It listed his death up top as an emergency update.
Byrd is dead, again and Zsa Zsa lives on.

Look at me in 16th place! I’m just thrilled to still be in the top twenty!
Ruth Roberts, songwriter, Mets fan, dead at 84.
Woohoo! Out of the basement and into 11th place in one month. Roll on, you crazy Reaper, roll on!
Still at 0. This is more like it. Last year when I actually had points was an anomaly. One of my picks from last year died this year. The Pale Rider hates me. This is why I stopped playing for years.
dammit
OMG - I’m in 10th place currently! I hope to be back online soonish; this is the first chance I’ve had to check in a few days, so didn’t know I was even in the running. I feel sad about the guy from Taxi/Babylon 5 dying, but he’s been on my list for several years due to his continuing problems. And Jim Arness - can’t believe Matt Dillon is gone. Ah well …
Yay, I’m in 73rd place! Thank you Lilian Jackson Braun, I knew you’d come through for me eventually.
