| Synopsis: |
Former college football player Ted Kluck had a dream: to return to the playing field and try to stir the dying embers of his athletic prowess. He decided to try and sign on with a professional team--in his case, the Battle Creek Crunch of the Great Lakes Indoor Football League. Here's how he describes the results of his first practice: [BEGIN EXT design: indent this paragraph both sides]Post-practice, my body is a bas-relief road map of pain. I am purple from shoulder to elbow and my arms sport an interesting array of little polka-dot welts (from the mesh practice jersey) and Field Turf abrasions. There is a nice, purplish bruise around the outer portion of my right eye and if my wife harbored any excitement about sleeping with a professional athlete, then it is for naught. My plan is to not be touched by anyone for any reason, for several days. Sexy. [end EXT] Part Paper Lion and part Bull Durham, this book tells the story of the dreamers and the world-class athletes with promise who never quite made the next step. |
