We had a little access issue to the Tomb Bowl site, so we weren't able to post earlier that with the beast of a year that 2017 was giving way to 2018, Tomb Bowl XIV concluded with John winning outright 2 - 1. 101-year-old philanthropist David Rockefeller and 91-year-old actor/comedian/singer/director/all around swell guy Jerry Lewis was all John needed to secure his sixth lifetime Tomb Bowl victory.
Fats Domino's passing on October 25th gave James some proverbial "life" in the contest, but all it did was prevent him from being shutout. He has yet to win the Tomb Bowl since he moved out of state. (Some writers have begun to call it the "Kenner Kurse", but we will refrain from calling it such.)
With the win, both John and James have identical 6 - 6 - 2 records in Tomb Bowl history. It is only the second time since they began in 2004 that they are all tied up life time heading into January 1st [Tomb Bowl IX (2009) 4 - 4 - 1 records]
For 2018's Tomb Bowl XV, John, having champion's first pick, added 101-year-old author Beverly Cleary and U.S. Senator John McCain who is fighting another bout of cancer.
James added beloved comedian and actor Jerry Stiller as well as the patriarch of the famous musical Jackson family, Joe Jackson.
Only time will tell whether or not the lifetime record will be unknotted by New Year's Eve.
Stay "tombed"...
