Summary
2 George Perez
Hank Aaron died this year
2 Kin Jun Un
2 Queen Elizabeth
I would think Rosalynn Carter qualifies as much as Prince Phillip did
and I am pretty sure we accepted Barbara Bush
Frummie can correct me if any of this is wrong:
Rosalynn Carter is famous for mental health work
Barbara Bush is famous for literacy activism
Prince Philip came from royal blood before ever marrying Elizabeth II
Casey DeSantis is famous for hosting television programs.
Angela Ducey, spouse of current Arizona governor Doug Ducey, is famous for being board member for multiple charities.
Todd Palin, spouse of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, is a celebrity for being a champion snowmobile racer.
John Brewer, husband of former Arizona governor Jan Brewer, is not a celebrity.
Ted Daugherty, spouse of current Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, is not a celebrity.
Haven’t all US 1st ladies had a project or charity as part of their role?
At least in recent history
RIP (4 days too early) John Madden.
Full disclosure: I had Madden at #9 on my list. Watched the last little bit of the special about him on Christmas Day, and it had that feel of a memorial to someone who was about to die. I figured he was close, thought he’d hold out a little longer though.
Let’s play those alternates
Harry Reid, a longtime US senator from Nevada and former Democratic leader,…
Harry Reid, the scrappy former Democratic Senate leader who spearheaded epic legislative battles through three decades in Congress, has died at the age of 82, according to a statement from his wife, Landra Reid. alternates
Since Queen Elizabeth I died several centuries ago, I think it’s safe to say that there are 5 people who picked QE2!
Oh, ninja’d!
Agree with all of these, but for some reason the tradition for this pool is that all FLOTUSes are considered celebrities. Not SLOTUSes though
DeSantis is a celeb in her own right. I will include
Good try. I put your alternate Bob Newhart in.
Nobody had him for 2022. He has been in the pool before (maybe me?)
took me a while to realize you weren’t talking about Melania
odd: I thought I saw him, guess not

Good candidate for group entry if he can make it another few days.
He is on a wikipedia page for Great British Menu, so I’ll count it for 2021. I saw a few obituaries around.
He could have been a real gentleman and posted this news a few days earlier so we could adjust lists accordingly.
Selfish jerk.

Rip Nancy Worley, would have been a huge 2022 ‘nique
“In what he believes are his final days, he spoke with CBS2’s Lisa Rozner.”
Where was this ish 3 days ago ?

Hey @frummie: I’m curious to hear how you create the composite entry for the derby dead pool. I’d be interested to see the result, and if we’ve done well with any past entries. My personal ranking of players would be likely different there than here due to the scoring differences (no ranked points, points by age range, and drop 40 change things a lot IMO)
