Our Sick Game 2014

In a move that has rocked Our Sick Game, Ewing Oil has decided to risk it's very season by taking out an insurance policy on Sweet Valley Death's Fidel Castro. The unprecedented move by Ewing Oil came late Monday evening when the team learned that Castro, 79, had temporarily relinquished power to his brother Raul while undergoing potentially life-threatening surgery.
By taking out insurance on Castro, Ewing Oil has immediately conceded 10.5 points to Sweet Valley Death. As a result, Ewing Oil now leads 116-99.5. In the event that Castro dies within the next 10 days, or 240 hours (beginning at 11:50 pm July 31, 2006), Ewing Oil will earn the remainder (or half) of Castro's 21 point value. If Castro outlives the policy but dies before December 31, 2006, Sweet Valley Death will earn full value for Castro at the time of his death, either 21 or 20 points, plus the 10.5 it earned when Ewing Oil took out the policy.
Now, Castro's death could have potentially disastrous implications for Ewing Oil. If Castro were to die after the policy expires, Sweet Valley Death could take the lead by earning up to 31.5 points. Assuming Ewing Oil earns no further points between now and December 31, 2006, Sweet Valley Death would have enough points to win the championship.
"This game is about taking risks," a spokesperson for Ewing Oil said. "We'd be kicking ourselves if Castro died and, knowing what we knew this evening, did nothing about it. Besides, we feel plenty confident that if Castro does outlive the policy, we have other guys lined up and ready to die who can make up the points for us. The Kevorkians, Husseins, what have you, are more than capable of dying in the next 5 months."
