#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - After providing what is arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL third-string quarterback Rick Dockery becomes a national laughingstock. Cut by the Cleveland Browns and shunned by every other team Rick insists that his agent find a team that does need him. Against enormous odds Rick lands a job--as the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers ... of Parma Italy. The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player--any former NFL player--at their helm. And now they ve got Rick who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesn t speak a word of Italian. 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.
