So there saying is they like how things are and they think the have a good chance with this football season and think they can go far with this so called “great quarter back”.

“Because he was still horrified at the thought of his friends learning that he was playing intramural ball in Italy”.
This quote is vary significant because it show that Rick is vary self absorbed of the fact if people find out in the United States that he is playing Italian Football he thinks he is going to turn out to be a laughing stock there. But what he doesn’t get is that he is already the laughing stick in the United States but of the fact he lost one of the biggest game in his career. Like I said in my last blog post nobody wants him because he is so bad that he’s not even worth him benign on the team. I think the fact of the Italian football team has a former NFL quarterback they think there going to go some were with him when I think he is going to do ok but while he is there he is going to some good times there and some hard times. Really that is how every NFL quarterbacks goes thought in his career. But it seems that every where he goes he sucks and can’t form like the head coach and players want him to play and they cut him and he moves on and try’s to find a new team but if this doesn’t work out I don’t think he is going to play Football again if this doesn’t go well. This is what the significant of the quote means.

Quote: “And they really play for free”?
This shows that the team he is going to play for wants a good QB because if he’s the only one getting paid that he needs to step up and show that he can lead this team to victory and not mess up like he did with the team before. The team gave him a nice home and free rent. Thing you with you could have but don’t. The coach goes to great lengths to get someone like him. But I don’t think the coach knows what happen to him with the team before hopefully he doesn’t mess up he doesn’t have a job at all will soon find out. This shows IRONY by him wishing for these thing and now he finally has these thing and is hopping he doesn’t mess this nice opportunity he is given and can succeed with it and hopefully get back into the NFL with a starting spot if he can prove in the game that he can be a starting QB in the NFL.
