Potential July 4th Pick for Ewing Oil Dies
Ewing Oil received a major blow on Wednesday when its targeted pick in the July 4th Supplemental Draft, former NFL wide receiver Theo Bell, met an early demise. The 52-year old maintained a low profile, although it had recently been revealed that he suffered from a serious kidney disease.
"We're devestated about this," said a spokesperson for Ewing Oil. "We truly thought we had a winning pick who could help out immediately. The feeling amongst our scouts was that Mr. Bell would be completely off Sweet Valley Death's radar. The pick would have been a shocker. Unfortunately for us, his time just came too soon."
Ewing Oil's spokesperson said that team scouts still have an extensive list of potential draft picks for July 4th, but declined to reveal any names.
