Time to Judge FootFootFoot

Should f3 get points for Joe Paterno in the cellar celebrity death pool? The death was reported in the media before it actually happened, so f3 added Joe to his roster after the first report, but before the actual death. My inbox is on fire with indignation, but the game really belongs to the cellar/the internet. So it's time for We, The People to act as judge and jury. Should f3 get the points?

I think he should get bonus points for creativity.

Yes, that was originally a poll option, but Sundae paid me to make it disappear.

Well, if you were wandering about the desert, and someone suggested a snowball fight, who wouldn't say yes?

Well, since I don't get involved in the death pool thing cause i think it's a pretty morbid competition, I think I'd say you should all lose all your points cause you didn't think of it first.

I liken it to insider trading. One person used information that others could have; but, didn't use to profit in points. If f3 keeps the points, there should be sanctions. Those affected can start by referring to him as Martha (i.e. Martha Stewart).

Insider trading would be if foot shot Gordon Ramsey with a .22 from his dining room and then added him before the news broke.

Don't give him any more ideas, Glatt!
He's already cheated once and it's a slippery slope.

I'm saying no ...

The lists should be "locked" at the time of posting and ride for the year.

Unless ... say someone on your list karks it, what do you guys think about adding in someone at that point, to cover the empty slot?
