When you run the Soul Bowl, you need to be up on the current events of the day. Of course, by this time we all know that Anna Nicole Smith died today. I can't really add too much here. It was probably the most obvious pick that anyone could have made. However, NO ONE had her in the Soul Bowl.
Here was a lady who just lost her 20 year old son a few months ago. She leaves behind an infant daughter, and through all that tragedy my first reaction was "did anybody have her?" Don't get mad. You all were thinking the exact same thing too. It was almost too obvious. I definitely thought about her, but it made so much sense that there was no chance that the pick would pay off. Just goes to show you how unpredictable the Soul Bowl can be. And that's why we play.
Also, my apologies for the list cutting off. I was fooling around with the template last night (as luck would have it) and I guess this new one cut the rest of the list off. I didn't mean to heighten the suspense any. I really need to work on getting a separate Soul Bowl website up and running so that we don't run into these situations any more. On a related note, I got more calls and text messages today than I have had in the last week combined. Not sure what that says about me, but I just thought I would pass it along.
Take care and keep off the TrimSpa.

I'm embarrassed to admit, one of my first thoughts when I heard the news was trying to remember if anyone had her on their list. Of course that is the biggest woulda, shoulda, coulda, but as you said, it just seemed like an unoriginal pick. Plus I thought the birth of her daughter would keep her going... anyway, did anyone pick Howard K. Stern?? ;-)
Is her infant daughter dating anyone?

Jonboy! Two posts in the last week! This is unprecedented! Also, I just want to toss my hat in the ring and say that I too might be the father of her baby.
All I'm saying is that Howard K. Stern would be a LOCK if we could do mid-year reshuffling of the Soul Bowl. But you can't. So don't even ask. However, '08 is right around the corner.
I was in a bad mood all night when Anna Nicole died, not because of her untimely passing, but because I did not pick in her the soul bowl.
I'm with dd on this. A guy from work was giving me a ride home and we heard on the radio that she died. My first reaction was "damn I should have had her in my death pool." He said "you are in a death pool?" I said "yes." He thought that was the greatest thing he heard all day.
