Our Sick Game 2014

In the busiest day in the history of Our Sick Game -- a day which began with the news of the death of Farrah Fawcett -- now comes the news that Ewing Oil's Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50.
At 6:00 p.m. this evening, Sweet Valley Death attempted to take out an insurance policy on Jackson. We have learned, however, that Jackson had died prior to Sweet Valley Death's attempt at insurance. Thus, Ewing Oil has earned Jackson's entire allotment of 50 points. In addition, Ewing Oil's three deaths in the month of June have earned the team a "hat trick" bonus of 10 points. As a result, Ewing Oil now leads to 153-71.5.
In even worse news for Sweet Valley Death, Michael Jackson's inclusion on its Survivor Series list means that S.V.D. cannot earn 15 bonus points at the end of the season.
"This has been the wildest day in the history of Our Sick Game," said a spokesperson for Ewing Oil. "It has also been the most successful in Ewing Oil history. We honor both Farrah and Michael for their contributions. The truest form of tribute would be to bring the Carson Cup back home at the end of the year."

Ewing Oil has retaken the lead from Sweet Valley Death this week on the strength of two solid deaths. The deaths of Ed McMahon, 86, (14 points) and Farrah Fawcett, 62, (38 points) chipped in a combined 52 points to propel Ewing Oil to a 93-71.5 lead.

With five months elapsed in the game, Sweet Valley Death has retaken the lead by the score of 71.5-41. A recap:
