Product Description

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In the deciding game at the climax of the season to the surprise & dismay of virtually everyone Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead & just minutes to go Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight he became a national laughing stock & of course was immediately dropped by the Browns & shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football & he insists that his agent Arnie finds a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team & informs Rick that miraculously he can in fact now be a starting quarterback. Great says Rick
- for which team? The mighty Panthers of Parma Italy. Yes Italians do play American football to one degree or another & the Parma Panthers desperately want a player from the home of American footballat their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers
- at least until a better offer comes along
- & heads off to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma (not even where it is) has never been to Europe & doesnt speak or understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy
- the land of opera fine wines extremely small cars romance & football americano
- holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.
