#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 jobâas the starting quarterback for the Mighty Panthers ... of Parma, Italy.
The Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL playerâany former NFL playerâat their helm. And now theyâve got Rick, who knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) and doesnât speak a word of Italian. To say that Italyâthe land of fine wines, extremely small cars, and football americanoâholds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.
