Damn and double damn. I had considered adding Summerall this year but didn’t. He was on my short list for 2014.
scratches out Summerall, pencils in Madden for next year
Here is an obituary for George Beverly Shea, whose death was announced by notfrommensa upthread.
Richard LeParmintier Vader choked at 66.
Rita MacNeil Croons no more.
Country/Folk Singer from Nova Scotia Canada. 32 points for anyone that picked her.
Wow, -4 points. Wow.
Things are not looking good for Dick Van Dyke.
Several organizations have recently given him Lifetime Achievement awards, which is often a sign that rumors are circulating. And his publicist has just announced Van Dyke won’t be able to attend one of the award ceremonies because of his declining health.
First Valerie Harper and now Dick Van Dyke? Mary Tyler Moore might be bumping off all her old costars. Someone warn Cloris Leachman and Betty White.
Lo and behold, this news story:
Van Dyke undergoing tests for “cranial throbbing”
Choose your own joke!
Dick is throbbing?
Well, it won’t be long now.
What a way to get my hopes up.
George Soros died at age 82 for a few minutes according to Reuters - he has come back to life however.
Storm Thorgerson has died. I suspect almost every one of us owns some of his artwork.
This is incredibly sad for me. His work was a big part of my childhood and always inspired my imagination to run off in the most beautifully random directions.
Dick Hart, former PGA Tour golfer who won one tournament, has died at age 77.
Presumably it will be an open casket.
Errol Mann, an NFL placekicker who spent most of his career with the Detroit Lions (1969-76), has died at the age of 71.
Chrissy Amphlett from Australian band the Divinyls has died, aged 53. Her band’s most famous song that did well internationally was I Touch Myself and you may also know my favourite, Pleasure and Pain.
Wow. I Touch Myself was a big hit–it’s one of those songs that takes me instantly back to my high school days. 
No, really, it takes me right back to the early 90s.
Sad. I read Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth many times as a child.
“…twice dead at 83”
Does that mean 17 points or 34 points, or 0 points because isn’t there an “alive” clause in the rules? :smack:
