Well, this list was made in 2010, so I've actually had three years to cash these tickets.

I was in a Dead Pool last year with a similar list, which actually included Liz Taylor as well. I led the thing from January until late December when, just a few days before the year ended, Kim Jong-Il went down. I didn't have him and he gave the people that did thirtysome points with the December double-point bonus. I got nipped at the wire for a hard-luck second!

Now that's a tragedy!

He had a pulse when I picked him. Anytime a former Grand Dragon of the KKK dies it's time for a celebration not a period of mourning. Only 8 pts either way.

I call bullsh*t.

Byrd was a prohibitive chalk who should have been a morning line scratch as a second half entry. He had one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel when second half voting was resumed.

Take number 4 Blago off list. He's not going to testify and thus won't be whacked. Put in Cook County President Todd Stroger, similar pattern.

Do we get free agent pickups now?

And why Gordon Ramsey? Just curious. Is he dying? If my wife doesn't have all ten of his shows to watch, I'm screwed.

you may be a fine handicapper but you have no clue how to run a dead pool.

would you know how to pick a winner if the finish line constantly changed during the race?

set rules. stick to them. that's a contest.
