The Parmer Panthers

Who are the Parmer Panthers? They are a football team in Italy who are no more competitive than a division one college football team. They are in desperate need of a quarter back and they pick up Rick Dockery , a former third string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.  

The Parmer Panthers head coach is Sam Russo who is also and American.  Other key players on the team are Slydell Turner. He ends up quitting early in the season. Trey Colby. He broke his leg mid season and was out for the year. Fabrizio is a full back who is known to walk of the field mid game for no reason.  Giuseppe Lazzarino helps out Rick with problems later in the book.  And many more interesting characters on the team. One more reason to read this great book.
