Chubby Irish Guy Has Heart Attack (Shocking!)

Veteran NBC newsman Tim Russert, the longest serving host of the Peacock Network's Meet the Press, died unexpectedly on Friday of a massive coronary.

No DW2K8 players had pegged Russert as an immediately potential corpse, so his 42 points are as useless as an endorsement from George W. Bush. (A bit of political humor in memory of Mr. Russert.)

Jim McKay's Lifeless Corpse Still Intends to Host the Beijing Olympics

Veteran sportscaster Jim McKay suffered the agony of defeat this week, in as far as he utterly failed to not die. McKay, who rose above mere sportscasting and became a broadcasting legend with his coverage of the disastrous 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis, died this week of natural causes.

McKay became synonymous with broadcasts of the Olympics, covering the event for ABC every four years, starting with the first Olympics games in 1088 B.C.

He also hosted the long-running ABC sports showcase Wide World of Sports, without which many Americans would never have witnessed the glory of Competitive Lumberjacking.

No DW2K8ers experienced the thrill of victory by choosing McKay, so his 14 points will go unclaimed.
