Not a good couple of years for musicians from the 70s and 80s... This one hurts. I wish he had made more music, frankly. He was a genius.

I am SOOOO playing this next year! What a great idea! I am in a Fantasy Football League; a Fantasy Basketball League; a Fantasy Hockey League; a Fantasy March Madness League; & the Fantasy Movie League - this is right up my alley! I can't believe I didn't think of it!! I have trophies for all my other leagues (all office leagues) that I have purchased (I have a guy) - perhaps I will spring for a traveling trophy next year if I play! Winner will get their name on the trophy & get to keep it for the year following their win! Just a thought from a noob!
How did no one have Prince?? I SOOOO would have had Prince!

He was (until he came down with the flu) a very low percentage pick. There was no particular reason to choose him over the millions of other possible picks, and all the reason to make other picks that have a higher chance of paying off. When the draft was made in December, there was no reason to think he wouldn't live several more decades.

And thus, my shock at hearing of his passing. Sad.
Irish... start taking notes now. Lists are due by Christmas Eve. You've only got 243 days to get ready. There was a celebrity in the news just today who got a footnote in my deadpool watch list.

Just to clarify - I was kidding ... I never would have picked Prince! I have a strange feeling about Axl Rose, however - I think this AC/DC gig is going to kill him!! You heard it here first!

Maybe now Mike won't feel so bad for the rest of the year.

So now, if I lose Stephen Hawking AND Stan Lee by the end of the year, I'll still come in 9 points behind my wife.

Congratulations, Ronster! I'm soooooooo happy for you!
Elle! Don't read any of this. Ronster just killed R2D2, and if you keep reading this, you're only encouraging us on our killing spree. Turn back now!
