The Pie & Bovril Dead Pool 2019

Week 24 update

One down this week, a man named Pat Bowlen who owned the Denver Broncos: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7142723/Broncos-owner-Pat-Bowlen-dies-75-Hall-enshrinement.html

As a fan of one of Colorado's other major league sport teams which can struggle for attention when the Broncos are good, I have a strange antipathy towards something I nominally have no interest in. With that in mind, here's what Homer has to say:

Bowlen was 75 when he died, so he's worth 50 Base Points. As a Solo Shot for @Mark Connolly he gets an extra 50, so he's worth a total 100 points.

As a result, the standings now look like this:

1. alta-pete 448
2. Oooooft 411
3. Ned Nederlander 397

4. sparky88 328
5. DBA 282
6. chomp my root 221
7. Bishop Briggs 207
8. Lex 186

9. Once a Rover always a Rover 151
10. cdisaaccie, peasy23, The Naitch 140
11. Savage Henry 137
12. ICTJohnboy 118
13. Musketeer Gripweed 106

14. gingette, Ziggy 105
15. JustOneCornetto 101
16. Mark Connolly 100
17. Ben Twilly 93
18. wellinwigan 92
19. ICTJohnboy 91
20. Sweaty Morph 89
21. Miguel Sanchez 84
22. 10menwent2mow 82

23. LoonsYouthTeam 78
24. HI HAT 76
25. Karpaty 73

You're taking this a bit too seriously! :lol:

He's talking about the Daily Mail. It's fair comment, even if it has nothing to do with this topic.

I'll be honest I thought he was dead already. Some genes he had, here he is aged 91, to me he looks like a man in his 70s:

I've told you this before and I'm currently really annoyed I can't find it with a search

Wrong Egyptian despot dying ffs

When I saw that news I was certain someone had picked him

Very strange circumstances too. I wonder what the limit should be on determining whether someone was killed by nefarious action.

You should bookmark this, then you'll have it for the next time I ask you. :)

Philippe Zdar, one half of Cassius, falls off his house in Paris. Those French DJs need to be more careful, this is exactly how DJ Mehdi died about 10 years ago.

Cassius heading for the clay.

That was my first thought as well.

I'm going to make myself a playlist full of Cassius, Digitalism, Daft Punk, Phoenix, Ed Banger and Kitsune for the gym later.
