To say that Italy-the land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americano-holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.From the Paperback edition. Cut from the Cleveland Browns after the worst performance in the history of the NFL, Rick Dockery, desperate to play football, is hired by the Panthers of Parma, Italy, and finds himself confronted by the confusing diversity of Italian culture, language,and romance. And now they've got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn't speak a word of Italian. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player-any former NFL player-at their helm. Against enormous odds, Rick finally gets a job-as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers.
But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent find a team that needs him. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock-and was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. A novel by John Grisham Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL.
In the AFC Championship game, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game.
