Shelled
Another stunner in the coaching world; late yesterday, 77 year-old Raider owner Al Davis gave 60 year-old coach Art Shell his walking papers. According to ESPN, the meeting lasted all day Thursday.
It takes Donald Trump roughly 10 seconds to whack someone, so why did this take all day? Fortunately, we have a transcript of the entire meeting:
9:00am
Art: (knock knock) “Al? You wanted to see me?”
Al: “Art! Get in here, and hurry!”
Art: “What is it? Is it about the team?”
Al: “No, dammit! I fell out of my chair - get your fat ass over here and help me up!”
Art: “OK, boss…”
(Thud)
Al: “AAAAAA! You fell on me, you big oaf!! Get off!”
Art: “Ohhh, I think I broke my hip…”
Al: “HEEEELP!”
(after personnel come in to help the two, they get down to business)
12:00pm
Art: Zzzzzzzzzz….
Al: Zzzzzzzzzz….
2:00pm
Al: “Art…ah…hmm…I forgot what I wanted to talk to you about…”
Art: “Well, that’s OK, Al. Want to grab some tapioca pudding?”
Al: “Great idea!”
4:00pm
Al: “Art, I remembered what I needed to talk to you about. You’re fired.”
Art: “Hired? Al, I’ve been coach for over a year now…”
Al: “No, no! I said you’re fired!”
Art: “Tired? Well, now that you mention it, I could go for a nap.”
Al: “No! I said…well, now that you mention it, it’s been a long day…”
6:00pm
Art: Zzzzzzzzzz….
Al: Zzzzzzzzzz….
