I had to replace two of my picks because they were kind enough to give me points in 2019. I also feel the need to point out that that this was twice as many picks and more than twice as many points as **kopek **had.

I had planned on doing a MAS*H (the movie) list. There were 13 people who are famous who acted in the film, but then Rene Auberjenois died at the beginning of December. And my concept got snagged by Mahaloth.
So be it.
Now I’m just want to stack cordage. There seems no better place than the NFL for killing people young (and all these guys are 75+, so not bad). So here it is. NFL Hall of Famers from 1970 to 1980. (There are no NFL Hall of Famers still alive inducted pre-1970).

And this is why, when you quickly post just before you run out to a NYE party that you include an alternate. Is it too late to replace one of my duplicate Michael J Foxes with Mary Barry (who I had demoted to be an alternate … it wasn’t to be) ?
And of course today I remember who I meant to include on my list but had never added to my word document. Oh well, hopefully they will live to be on another year’s list.
