#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER âĒ âFans of John Grisham live for his legal thrillers, but now and then he serves up something unexpected. Thatâs exactly what he does, with great success, in Playing for Pizza.ââUSA Today
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.
