58-56's wish list is always entertaining. Here's hoping he has a bunch of winners this season!

I am taking life insurance policies out on Marathon Blazer's list.

No one on my lists has ever died, even in later years.

A guy can hope, you know? Besides, the law of averages has to catch up with you sooner or later...

Lindsey Lohan is only 26? Good gracious...

It's the mileage.

She'll be on my list next year. Club 27 might strike again.

I was on the verge of having all wrestlers, however I moved them to just being some of my alternates.

Singer Patti Page age 85 has died. Nobody picked her.

Points wise, those are some of the best picks you can make. I try to limit my list to 1 or two.

Celebrity Rehab participants are also good bets.

Ned Wertimer passes away at the age of 89. Best known for his role as "Ralph the Doorman" on "The Jeffersons." No points.

It surprises me not in the least that his name was Ned Wertimer.

Ralph House.

Conrad Bain has left us at age 89. He was the dad on Diff'rent Strokes.
