Our Sick Game 2014

Al: John, here we are in the fifth month of the season and already it has turned into a blowout. Can Ewing Oil overcome Sweet Valley Death's lead or is it time to start looking ahead to next year?

John: Well, you know this is what Our Sick Game is all about: overcoming the odds. I remember when I was coaching the Oakland Raiders, nobody gave us a chance to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's the same thing here, only we never trailed the Steelers by 126 points.

Al: Talk about who needs to step up for Ewing Oil to have a chance.

John: Well, clearly Ariel Sharon needs to get back to what he does best. Here's a guy who's been given an enormous gift. Not only is he a former Israeli prime minister, but now he's lying comatose in some hospital bed in Tel Aviv. I mean, BOOM!, that's a combination you just can't teach.

Al: Right now Ewing Oil is just desperate to get on the board. Who on their roster do you think can get them going?

John: A guy I've always liked and is a perennial candidate for the All-Madden Team is Mickey Rooney. When you think about old guys, how can you not think of Mickey Rooney? I mean, he's the kind of guy you can really build a team around. He's not the flashiest guy, but he works hard and will do what it takes to die. And doing what it takes is what this game is all about.

Al: Ewing Oil, a franchise in disarray and clearly in need of multiple deaths. Will it be Ariel Sharon or will it be Mickey Rooney who goes first. We'll soon find out, here in Our Sick Game.
