Baker is the boss and what she says goes, but I always figured if it’s 2013 where the person died, then it’s good only for the 2013 game. If you’re celebrating New Year’s in Tokyo and drop dead after midnight Tokyo time, then you died in 2013, even if it won’t be 2013 for a while by Chicago time.
Now, SUBMISSIONS to the game have to be submitted by midnight Chicago time, so the train leaves the station at the same time for everybody, everywhere. So if you’re in Los Angeles, your picks have to be submitted by 10 p.m. or you’re outta luck for this year’s game, got it?
Sound good to you, Baker?
Oh, and I also want to thank you for doing this again this year.
