R.I.P. Peter O'Toole (1932-2013)

In what has become his signature 'tortoise and the hare' move, James took the late lead in Tomb Bowl X with the passing of Academy Award-nominated actor Peter O'Toole on Saturday at the age of 81.

Having been shut out by John for most of 2013, James has had a 'December to Remember' with all of his activity happening in the past 10 days (Nelson Mandela on December 5th & O'Toole on December 14th?)

Can John find a way to tie Tomb Bowl X with less than 3 weeks remaining? We have ourselves a TOMB BOWL!

R.I.P. Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)

As we enter the final month of 2013, it had seemed that John was narrowly heading into his first Tomb Bowl victory in three years, hanging onto Patty Andrews' passing on January 30th.

However, tonight, as the world mourns the loss of former South African president, political activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela at the age of 95, the only joy may be from Brooklyn as James celebrates the life of such an inspirational man and pulling into a tie in Tomb Bowl X.

As one observer noted "now the brothers are in a dead heat (pun intended) in December!"

We wait and see what the last days of the year holds for the Behan Boys.
