Fatsis, 43, was given permission by Broncos owner, Pat Bowlen, to?lace?em' up and attend camp despite?his size (5?8",?170lbs), and lack of football playing experience. Fatsis chronicles his summer camp?experience in his new book, "A Few Second?of Panic."? Mike Shanahan tells Fatsis?to attempt his first field goal in front of the entire camp. As if?Fatsis doen't feel enough pressure, Shanahan tells everyone that if he makes it?then meetings will end at 9:00 instead?of 9:30. ?Fatsis misses, and in an excerpt from his book he says, "Amid a pulsing dance beat, I do a perp walk through the locker room.

Quarterback Jake Plummer: 'Don't ? come near me. Get out of here."? (The Wall Street?Journal).? Here's a quick video of Fatsis discussing his book:
