John Stocco has a pretty good idea of one of his Christmas gifts from his father.
It’s John Grisham’s newest book, “Playing for Pizza,” and it’s not a bad reference point for Stocco, the former Wisconsin quarterback who agreed this month to play in the very real football league that Grisham fictionalized.
Stocco will join the Milan Rhinos in NFL Italy, known as the Lega Nazionale Football Americano Italiano in Italian, and will immediately be one of the league’s top players when the season starts in March.
