CORETTA SCOTT KING DEAD AT 78
Ewing Oil can keep hope alive. One of its own has finally reached the promised land. Early this morning, Coretta Scott King, 78, died apparently from old age. Though she had suffered a stroke and a heart attack in 2005 (making her a valuable commodity in Our Sick Game), her death is evidently unrelated to either event. King was the 20th pick taken in the draft by Ewing Oil and her passing marks the first death of the season for Ewing Oil, which now trails Sweet Valley Death by a score of 71-22.
A spokesperson for Ewing Oil was reached early this morning for comment. "King me!Seriously though, I'd like to thank Coretta Scott King for her contribution. You know, 22 points is a very respectable effort. We're on the board now, so it always feels good to be back in the game. A few is all it takes and Ewing Oil will be back in this competition."
