*looks at field of dead bodies*
I see this was a very literal-minded group.
In the first year of the pool, we had minimal casualties in Week #1. As in 'None.' Year Two came, and a few people dropped the initial sharp-edged slate into a major artery, but most people remembered to wear their picking gloves. And in Year Three...
Go ahead, blame the lockout. Blame the commissioner. You can even blame Canada if you really want to. At least that would give a wider range of places to haunt.
Tap-dancing through a minefield is a really good way to discover which ones are armed.
because counting on kerry collins is a historically sound idea
KidFlash

Starshine

I just want to note that he switched his pick from a death team to another death team. Sentients and gentlebeings, the Western Divisions.

The double lesson: never count on Cleveland for anything.

And of course:
was literally late to his own funeral

Count 'em. That's eleven corpses found within the blast radius of Launch Day, only a few of which went down due to that whole 'stand right under multiple rockets for the best view' idea. I think a round of applause is mandatory. Or at least a round of noseplugs. Gawds, the charring stinks.
One (current) survivor managed to take a chance that paid off -- as in 'he lived through it' -- and with a successful two-game combo pick representing one from each personality, we have a
Lockout winner: Cahaya. He now has a power. He may or may not live long enough to use it. In fact, I have a special coffin with a stick-sized sidecar waiting. But don't let that bother anyone in any way. Or for that matter, serve as a comfort, because the Lockout remains armed until used. Or until the schedule defuses the holder. Sure, let's say 'defused': that's a new one...
And while it means nothing for power excepting elemental conversion (oxygen to carbon dioxide), ScubaSteve gets the first Only Just award of the season. However, as a courtesy, it will be delivered to Tony Romo's house. Mr. Romo really needs the recognition. For starters, he should learn to recognize his own receivers.
This week's torture implement catalog:

It's as if you're trying to get to the afterlife before the best seats are gone.
More than enough blood for a bath.
