Brooks and Jake Reunited Again


Veteran actor James Whitmore has died of lung cancer at the age of 87. Known primarily amongst us younger people as Brooks from The Shawshank Redemption, Whitmore had a lengthy TV & film career which we won't bore you with. That's what Wikipedia is for.

Instant Analysis: This death marks the second legitimate missed opportunity of the year for Death Poolers, John Updike being the other. It is an ominous beginning for the season, as we are into February with two wasted passings, and nobody on the board. C'mon people, let's step it up a notch! Let not these deaths go unclaimed!!
