    I just don't really understand the point of going for old timers or known sick people who could kick at any minute? I had a bunch of other people in mind but I'll keep my list to that (unless I can make another list the 1st of the year).

    Bridgette Bardot, Wendy Williams, Sylvester Stallone, Patrick Kennedy, Judge Judy, Ezra Miller, and Drew Pinsky. Oops! I spilled the milk.

    Picking people in the 80s and 90s gets few points but has a higher percentage overall. Someone could sneak a win in a lean year with a couple of old timers. There aren't any lean years with the tidal wave of Boomers going lately.

    The 70s is as old as I usually go but people in their 40s-60s usually will win a "season". They are home run shots, Waterboy got one this year. I don't usually pick anyone younger than 40.

    I try and keep it balanced, a few younger ones with health issues, a few older ones for some easier points.

    1st of the year what we do now is start everyone with their current roster from previous season and allow you to swap out your picks. We use a snake draft but you don't need to change any picks you are happy with, can change 1, 2, all or none, just in draft order.

    I saw Jimmy Carter turns 100 on Oct 1. If he passes after that does the person who picked him get any points

    No, they would get 0 points. Though it would give us the chance to mock @Section 336 for getting 2 picks and still only having 6 points.

    Isn't Michael Jones worth 28 points and Kristofferson 12?

    1st death of the year bonus points. You are a non-player trying to take points from me.

    Join in and then you can pick things apart, until then let the waterboy keep score

    Why would I want to take points from anyone if I'm not in it? Hope you're joking. Trying to figure out the scoring. I played one year, did okay but didn't like rooting for people to die.
