The
number one Bestelling Author.
It is my
first time when I read book and author. I didn’t read his books before ,
but I saw the author in my last job where I worked. And When I saw the „Playing for Pizza,” I want to read the book
because it was interest to know him like an author and his book.
„Rick
Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the
deciding game at the climax of season, to the supruse and dismay of virtually
everyone, Rick actually got into the game. 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. Overninght, he became a national
laughting stock and, of course, was immediately dropped by the Browns and
shunned by all the teams.
But all
Rick know is football, and the insists that his agent, Arnie, finds team that
needs him. Against enormous odds, Arnie finally locates just such team and
informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback.
Great says Rick- for which team?
That
mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy:
Yes,
Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma
Panthers desperately want a player from the home of American football at their
helm. So Rick reductantly agrees to play for the Panthers – at least until a
better offer come along – and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma(
not even where it is), has never been to Europe, and doesn’t speak or understand
a word of Italian.
To say
that Italy – the land of opera, fine wines, extremely small cars, romance and
football americano – holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something
of an understatement.”
