    • Reports of Joe Paterno's death surface, but there are some denials as well.

      • His sons are refuting the death rumors but it does sound like Paterno took a turn for the worse.

            • Well, that was quick.

              State College, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Joe Paterno, whose tenure as the most successful coach in major college football history ended abruptly in November amid allegations that he failed to respond forcefully enough to a sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant, died Sunday, a family spokesman said. He was 85.

              • Joe Paterno was 85 and a choice of two players.

                Guynemer (3) = (171 - 3) + (100 - 85) = 183 points

                SlowwHand (8) - 178 points.


                Guynemer takes the lead and sets himself up for future bonus points.

                  I think this is the first time I've ever been in first place; two in a week. Took me nearly all year last year to get two.

                        I was in first place for all of two days.

                        • Have we ever had a 'hat trick'?
                          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                          • No, not yet. I had a daily double (M Jackson and F Fawcett).

                            • That actually raises a question. Now, the odds of this are slim to none, but...

                              can a daily double overlap with another daily double? If you had three go on the same day, would you get a DD for #1 & #2, and another for #2 & #3, and yet another for #1 & #3? Same question regarding hat trick and grand slam; if I had one go on the 1st, the 4th, and the 7th; I'd get a HT. If I then had one go on the 9th, would I get another HT?

                              • We had a similar question not long ago. My ruling:

                                You can claim as many daily doubles and weekly triples as you can muster (without reusing a celeb on each - a double celeb can play into a triple) but only one grand slam per month regardless of the extent of the carnage.
