À propos de cet audio

 Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. 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.

But 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.

Yes, 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 he 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 holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

A fun and engaging story centered on football but also about life in Italy with travel, food and new friends. A joy to listen to!

Playing for Pizza is a fun and refreshing adventure that showcases a very different side of John Grisham. Known for his legal thrillers, Grisham takes a detour to Italy and the world of American football with this charming, lighthearted story. It's fast-paced, funny, and full of heart. The setting and characters are vivid, and the cultural clash adds a great twist to the plot. It may be different from his usual work, but it’s equally as good in its own right. Highly recommend it to everyone—even if you’re not a football fan!

what a fun story 🍕

If you enjoy football, you will love this. However there is a story line involved that kept me listening all night so I could know what happened. Yes there is a love story but it is not the main story.

It is also partly a tour of Italy which I enjoyed very much.

great story. I would've liked the narrator to research how to pronounce the Canadian city of Regina, they sounded pretty ridiculous.

About as disappointing as you can be about a book from an author who typically delivers up much, much better story
