    Wait, wat?

  • Did you really only have two people from you list die? I could swear you did way better than that.
  • IMDB and Wikipedia show he's still alive And made a tweet for New Years.
  • Yup. I was drinking.

    So, who got the points for having "Jason's brain cells" on their list? ;)

    Edward Herrmann.

    Jason, how does your celeb death pool work? How do you determine the points, divide the age by something to get some number?

    It's 100-age.
  • So how do you handle someone who's over 100, negative points?
  • You don't choose that person. The scoring discourages you from boringly picking gomers.

    BTDubs, Mario Cuomo just died.
  • Stuart Scott has died. He was on my list two years ago.

    I wept. I didn't know a great deal about the man but by all accounts, he was an amazing human. He and Rich Eisen were the Sports Center anchors during my blossoming into the sports fan I am today. He's going to be missed. Two final points.

    49 is too young and fuck cancer in its facehole.
