I am a huge football fan and am out of my mind crazy—rooting for the
Miami Dolphins. Now on to the good stuff...
Part 1: meet the QB
“Come on in and have seat,” Jerry Gershwin—the Jerry Gershwin—
owner of the Pro football team, the Miami Sharks—gestured to a seat in
his office. He lived up to his title with a no-nonsense face punctuated with
flaming white hair and dressed in an expensive suit. My eyes didn't miss
he hadn't even loosened his tie a fraction of inch in the confines of his
office.
Nervously, I tried to smooth the nonexistent wrinkles of my tan—no
nonsense, mid thigh length skirt—as I sat into the leather chair he pointed
to. As recent graduate of Miami U, I had just hung my psych degree in the
shabby, rundown office—I couldn't afford until I managed to convince
some clients—that a wet behind the ears grad—could solve their marital
woes. I had just been worrying over how I was going to do exactly that
when Jerry called.
“I appreciate you meeting me here. This is a matter of somewhat,
delicate importance, and I didn't want word getting out to the press,” Jerry
began.
“It you hire me, confidentiality is assured unless you committed a
felony. That's part of the oath I signed upon receiving my license to
practice,” I bit my lip, mentally cursing myself—that was a blatant
admission of my woeful inexperience. Hoping to recover smoothly from
that gaff, I pressed my palms into my skirt. “How can I help, Mr Gershwin? What ever problems you're experiencing, I'm sure I can help.
Is this a marriage issue or...”
“Call me Jerry,” he waived me off with a bearish laugh. “I'm not
seeking your services for myself, but one of my players...”
“Oh?” I didn't know what to think of that. Did Pro Football team
owners hire counselors for players with relationship issues? Wasn't there
some sort of legal process I would have to undergo from the league? I had
to admit to myself, I was woefully lacking in football knowledge. It
wasn't exactly my favorite sport.
“Megan Kelley, as I'm sure you are aware, the Sharks haven't won a
championship for twenty years. We haven't had a winning season since I
bought the team, seven years ago. I finally hired a coach who can turn us
around. You may have heard of him. Bart Parmeal?”
Who hadn't?—I had about as much interest in football as I did in the
mating rituals of the Galapagos Tortoise, which is to say, about zero—but I
knew who Bart Parmeal was. His name seemed to make the headlines once a
week in football season. A five time Magnificent cup winner with three
different teams who had a reputation for being so difficult to work with,
he'd retire in the middle of a season if the owner tried to meddle in his
program. He had even quit after one owner drafted a wide receiver over
the linebacker he wanted. A real hothead as the rumor went. I hoped he
wasn't having family issues...
“Yes I have,” I smiled tightly.
“Then.
