The Man Upstairs is on a Recruiting Binge- Al Davis Dies at 82

First they take the man who revolutionized Technology.

Now they take the man who revolutionized Football.

 

Geez, they may have had some knowledge drain going on up there.  I can just imagine the morning meetings now:

Mr Davis:  iPad, Shmipad.  I got my overhead projector and that works just fine, Jobes.

@Bill,

Assuming that there is a place to be beyond this rotating, orbiting speck of matter...I think Al Davis is in Purgatory...atoning for moving the Raiders from Oakland to LA, and then back to Oakland (you decide what pissed off the Lord).

And Steve Jobs will be negotiating a contract to start the development of an Apple App that'll connect the experience of Heaven and of Hell in 6D on a magnified version of the IPhone (which will also deliver actual sight and sound with smell, taste, and feel senses).  The idea being that humanity at large needs to be reminded of definitive outcomes.  And that our mere-mortal- temp-on-earth status is accelerating to a logical end.  Therefore this development, of Steve Jobs' passing is meaningful because Einstein, Edison, Da Vici, Archimedes, Pythagorus, Pascal, Copernicus, Newton, and Rodney Dangerfield (for laughs) among others have been anxiously waiting to get started on thee project to inspire mere mortals to behave as if they had limited time on earth; and that getting along with all others, and our ecosystem, should be the proper focus going forward. 

Sorry for getting mello-dramatic, but the idea that Al Davis, or any owner who moves a beloved team (I speak for fanatics...imagine the Cubs being moved) didn't have dues to pay is just not right.

Sorry for getting mello-dramatic but the idea that Al Davis, or any owner for that matter who moves a beloved team (I speak for fanatics...imagine the Cubs being moved), and doesn’t have dues to pay is just not right.  So Al Davis goes straight to PURGATORY.

How about that?  It worked, I'm in!  (APPLAUSE)

It worked this time...thanks to Divine intervention (a term for a miracle caused by God's/a god's active involvement in the human world).

Btw, Dodgers were moved, Giants were moved, Braves were moved, A's were moved, Nationals were moved, etc.....

Yeah, but we're speaking of Al Davis and his moves and "I speak of fanatics..." regardless of what city, country or sport.
