Heaven Can Wait
# Joe Pendleton... the only guy who ever raised Hell about going to Heaven.
π Overview:
Joe Pendleton is a quarterback preparing to lead his team to the superbowl when he is almost killed in an accident. An overanxious angel plucks him to heaven only to discover that he wasn't ready to die, and that his body has been cremated. A new body must be found, and that of a recently-murdered millionaire is chosen. His wife and accountantβthe murderersβare confused by this development, as he buys the L.A. Rams in order to once again quarterback them into the Superbowl.
