(3.5) | 3 | A corrupt football team fights to become the sport's dominant franchiseThe Texas Pistols never should have been. The league had no business awarding a team to dying Park City, but it only took a little pressure--financial and otherwise--to bring the expansion franchise to town. At first, they're worthless, playing in an empty stadium for slack-jawed fans, but the owners have a plan. Five years to financial security. Five years to complete domination of the sport. Five years to the Super Bowl. And it starts with Taylor Rusk. But Rusk, the finest college quarterback of his generation, is no fool, and he realizes quickly that all is not honest in Park City. He doesn't want to stop the corruption; he wants a piece of it, and for a price he will lead his new team to glory. In Texas, football is life. But in Park City, it can mean death, too.… (mere) |

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now an in the calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sports and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it. --Aldous Huxley  "Lately it occurs to me
what a long strange trip it's been."
--The Grateful Dead, "Truckin'" | |
