The Misfits of the Gridiron

By: Casper Jolly

Narrated by: James Ferry

The Misfits of the Gridiron is a comedic sports novella about second chances, teamwork, and the most impossible football team ever assembled.

Jack Jackson was once a rising star in college football—until one disastrous call turned him into a national punchline. When a secret government project offers him a job coaching an experimental team, Jack expects egos and dysfunction. What he gets is far worse.

His new players have been pulled from history itself:

• A prehistoric warrior with unstoppable strength
• A deadly Mongolian huntress who treats the field like a battlefield
• A disciplined World War II paratrooper
• A flamboyant 17th-century matador who believes football is performance art

Together, they must learn the rules of the modern game—and how to trust one another—while being watched by scientists, bureaucrats, and a world eager for spectacle.

Blending laugh-out-loud humor with real emotional stakes, The Misfits of the Gridiron is a heart-driven sports comedy about failure, redemption, and why teams matter more than talent.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy underdog stories, sharp character comedy, and sports fiction with genuine heart.
