In the end, Sweet Valley Death used its insurance policy the way it was meant to be used. In doing so S.V.D. not only prevented Ewing Oil from netting any points off the death of
Saddam Hussein, but also virtually guaranteed itself a championship. Last night when Hussein was put to death in Iraq, Sweet Valley Death collected 15.5 points, or half of Hussein's value. This output matched the 15.5 points Ewing Oil earned earlier in the day when S.V.D. took out an insurance policy not even lasting a full 24 hours. This proved to be a textbook example of how to use an insurance policy, and could not have come at a more critical time for Sweet Valley Death, with only 2 days remaining in the season. The successful policy also serves as a devastating blow to Ewing Oil, which would have won the game had Hussein survived into 2007. With less than 48 hours remaining in the season, and trailing by 8 points, Ewing Oil will need a miracle New Year's Eve death in order to overcome its current deficit of 151-142.5.
