Duke Forum Death Pool 2017

[rhfarmer]

I think it was when you named your dong the Saturn V that the tide turned.

 

[TS9]

Skyrockets were definitely in flight after that.

Yordano Ventura was killed in a car crash.

[rome8180]

Damn. Was that on anyone's list? BTW, since no one has a correct pick yet I wish more people would get into this pool. Having only four of us is kind of lame.

You do know this isn't a wish list thread, right?

I imagine DDB repeating this list before he goes to bed every night like Arya Stark.

 

[krsmith16]

He definitely thinks of Betty White, while in bed, but in a far different context.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Yeah, I dream of Betty pettin' my puppy - if you know what I mean!!

Mike Ilitch.

 

[torontoduke]

RIP Mr. Ilitch, what a life he led. Probably the greatest owner in NHL history, given how he not only restored the Red Wings franchise, but established a model that every other NHL team aspires to. Beloved by his players as well - pretty much an anti-Dolan.

More to my point:

I also have a lot of respect for him saving the Fox Theatre from the wrecking ball.

 

[best4heisman]

Fab Melo.

Like Len Bias, a Celtic draft pick gone far too soon.

Wow, that would have ben 74 points in the pool. Probably more than he scored in his entire 'Cuse career

 

[deepdarkblue]

Congenital heart issue or drugs? Damn, though, 26 years old.

 

[torontoduke]

Writer Marc Spitz died last week - RIP. Not sure if his lifestyle caught up to him or not, but 47 is pretty damn young.

He wrote for Spin back in the late 90s/early 00s (did a lot of writing on the Strokes, Ryan Adams, etc.), wrote a Bowie book, but his best work was his memoir 'Poseur.' From the D-F book thread, I reckon most of you are into more challenging reads, but I would suggest giving 'Poseur' a go. It is worthwhile.
