Jim takes the lead

Writer Art Buchwald died at the age of 81 on Wednesday. The long-time columnist had checked into a hospice last February due to kidney failure. However, his health improved and he managed to write another book last summer. His death is worth 19 points for Jim.

That gives Jim the early lead and it may grow in short time with the fading health of Fidel Castro.

Not Enough Research

Momofuku Ando, the inventor of Ramen Noodles died at the age of 96 on Saturday. And while none of the Buzzards drafted him, he deserves recognition. Few of us would have gotten through college without heating up his straw noodles in a styrofoam cup.

Ando would have been worth just four points if someone would have chosen him. But instead he is worth much more than that in late-night munchies.
