In the AFC Championship game against Denver, to the surprise 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. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback–for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes, Italians do play American football, to one degree or another, and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player–any former NFL player–at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers–at least until a better offer comes along–and heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma, has never been to Europe, and doesn’t speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsed Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e262 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published January 1, 2007\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brewberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42321407574110,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0585\/9678\/files\/playingforpizza.jpg?v=1767552564","url":"https:\/\/www.brewberrybooks.ca\/products\/playing-for-pizza-john-grisham","provider":"Brewberry Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
