Koren Robinson Draft #1 Overall at Vegas Invitational Celebrity Death Pool

LAS VEGAS, NV - The first annual Celebrity Death Pool got off to an exciting start as celebrity names flew off the draftboard in the opening rounds.

Former Seattle Seahawks receiver Koren Robinson was drafted 1st over all by Ted Havin of Sacramento, California.

"I was thrilled to have the first overall pick, and I know it will pay off.  Robinson is a mess!"  Havin said when asked about his first pick.

He is referring to the fact that Robinson, released from the Seahawks for drinking, was later arrested for drunk driving and ordered to stop all alcohol consumption.  A few weeks later he was pulled over for drunk driving again, a violation of his probation.  He was ordered to return to jail, and showed up to jail drunk.  "This guy wakes up in the morning and is looking for booze!" said an excited Havin. "I don't see how he'll live another few months at this rate.  I just need him out of jail."

Kirk Douglas, expected to be the number 1 pick, slid to #2.  "I'm very happy to have gotten the 90 year old actor", said Bill Wegman of Duluth, Minnesota.  He probably should have been picked first, but I'm not complaining.

The 15 team league drafted 8 rounds of celebrities.  The first who has a celebrity who passes away, win the Invitational.  Although Jockweb is not allowed to print all the results of the draft, the first round has been released to the press:
