Al sells his soul!

Al hits his head and says that he would sell his soul to the devil to get on the Chicago Bears football team. Well, Robert Englund who is best known for his role in the Nightmare on Elm Street films as Freddy Krueger guest stars as the Devil. At first, Al thinks he's one of Peg's relatives. Well, he has to convince Al that he's the devil and then get him to sell his soul. The devil had an easier time with other celebrities. Once he sells his soul, he gets to play football with the Chicago Bears and gets them to the Superbowl only to die. When hell is not hellish enough for him, the devil has to make it unbearable. Well, why not recreate his life on earth in hell.
