The Rookie

Acknowledgments

A team of talented friends made this book happen. Y’all are a world-class offensive line that make this journeyman quarterback look like an All-Pro:

Kevin “The Franchise” Capizzi at Kevin Capizzi CGI for the GameDay program layout and 3D modeling

A “Future Hall-of-Famer” Kovacs and the team at Audacity for overall project management

Donna “Chalkboard” Mugavero at Sheer Brick Studio for interior book design

Greg “The Bomb” Poloynis for the killer alien designs and art

Jerry “SI Coverboy” Scullion for team logos and a book cover that will become a cultural icon

Special Thanks

Carol Sigler, who never missed a game. Go Chiefs! Go Redskins!

Jody Sigler, always subject to the first draft. Go Pack!

Scott Christian, for reading with a critical eye. Go Bama!

Shannon Fairlamb, for solid proofreading. Go Bears!

Rob Otto, talented commentator with a knack for stats. Go Titans (and Vikings, and Colts whoever else you’ve decided to root for this year because they happen to be winning this season)!

Irv Sigler III: The second-best football player among the Sigler Brothers (okay, that’s a dirty lie, but it’s my book, so I can say whatever the heck I want).

Looking forward to watching these guys play football
