Yahoo! - Wikipedia Quote Yahoo! (/ˈjɑːhuː/, styled as yahoo!)[6][7] is an American web services provider headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, and owned by Verizon Media. Of these three, MSN is your best bet if I can figure out how they handle the service in different countries. (Ed - Scratch this. The MSN link is an embedded article from a site called The Week which isn't UK-based.) The fame/standing of a pick has no bearing on whether or not I'll accept an obituary for them.

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Week 1 update I think this game was better back when someone could win with two deaths. Up first this week and year we have former American football man Floyd Little: Floyd Little, NFL Hall of Fame Denver Broncos running back, dies at 78 | NFL | The Guardian I don't even care that I can't load that article. He's dead. A first hit of the year for @Ned Nederlander yields 47 Base Points, 50 for a Solo Shot and 25 for the First Blood bonus for a total of 122 points. That's one hell of a scoring average to keep up. ======================== Up next this week was former basketball man Phil Westphal: Paul Westphal, Hall of Famer and NBA champion, dies at 70 Boston Celtics Phoenix Suns Southern California college NBA | The Independent Quote A five-time All-Star guard, Westphal played in the NBA from 1972-84. After winning a championship with the Celtics, he made the finals in 1976 with Phoenix, where he was a key part of one of the most riveting games in league history. He also played for Seattle and the New York Knicks. He averaged 15.6 points, 4.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds during his career. I don't know what that means. Westphal was 70 when he died, so he's worth 55 Base Points. He was a Solo Shot for @Bishop Briggs so he's worth 105 points in total. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 122 2. Bishop Briggs 105 3. Everyone else 0 The spreadsheet has also been updated with these scores: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-OTo44wF_W7A4Q0NFnd1sX3qEDdxTLDobvjhhSgnzkg/edit?usp=sharing 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 The spreadsheet is online now at the link above. I am currently compiling a plain text list of everyone's picks, so if you want to peruse the Duos and Solos you'll need to wait a bit. They'll be there eventually. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Had a quick look through the spreadsheet to see if I had any solo shots, I think I have 2. I also noticed that Fuctifano has 7 of the same picks as me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
