“Everyone has a ‘what-if’ moment in their life — a decision or path they could have taken – but rarely do they get a second chance to explore what could have been,” said Hochberg and Ebersol, co-founders of The Hochberg Ebersol Company, in a statement. “We created a format that taps into this emotion, and proved so powerful that it attracted Kurt Warner — the guy who got his own second chance — to his first reality hosting gig.”

At the end, the contestants will have to decide whether to pursue their dream or leave their lives as they know it.

The Super Bowl MVP is no stranger to reality TV. In November 2010 Warner appeared on ‘Dancing With The Stars with professional dancer Ana Trebunskaya.

Warner remains active as a motivational speaker and Christian speaker . Kurt and his wife are both active evangelical Christians and also very involved philanthropically.

Joe Torre, a popular motivational speaker through PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agency, has resigned as MLB executive vice president to pursue the purchase of the LA Dodgers.

“I am so appreciative of the chance (commissioner Bud Selig) gave me to see the game from a different perspective by working for Major League Baseball, especially during such a great time for our sport,” Torre said. “I have made this decision because of a unique chance to join a group that plans to bid for the Dodgers. After leaving the field, this job was an incredible experience, one that I enjoyed very much. I want to thank the commissioner and all of my colleagues over the last year, particularly the members of the baseball operations group and the major league umpires.”

The group Torre is joining is backed by Los Angeles real estate developer Rick Caruso, president of Caruso Affiliated, known for building high-end outdoor shopping centers, including The Grove, a 20-acre retail, dining and entertainment site adjacent to the Farmers Market in Los Angeles.

“In Rick I found a partner who understands consumers and fully appreciates that the Dodgers are a treasured LA institution,” Torre said. “Since moving to Los Angeles, I have seen firsthand Rick’s dedication to business and the people of Los Angeles.”

A number of groups have expressed interest in buying the Dodgers. Former team stars Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser headline one group, Lakers legend Magic Johnson leads another, while former Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley has put his name in the ring.

The team will be sold in a bankruptcy auction, similar to how the Rangers were sold last year. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban came in second in that bidding and has also said he would be interested in the Dodgers at the right price.

Initial bids for the team are due by Jan. 23 with the Blackstone Group, Frank McCourt’s investment banker. The price likely will break the record for a baseball franchise, topping the $845 million paid by the Ricketts family for the Chicago Cubs in 2009.

Dan Marino, a popular speaker through PFP Talent Agency, holds the all time NFL passing record.

Drew Brees leads at 4,368 yards

Tom Brady is next with 4,273

Aaron Rodgers is third with 4,125

Eli Manning is fourth with 4,105

The Huffington Post reports:

Only Marino and Brees have reached 5,000 yards passing in a season, yet all four of these players figure to get there if they remain in the lineup. There’s always the chance the Packers will rest Rodgers once they have clinched home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, which could come with a win this weekend at Kansas City. Then again, they do have that undefeated thing going, so maybe he won’t be seeing the sideline all that much.

Brady’s Patriots and Brees’ Saints are in a different situation. Both their teams could need to win the rest of the way to reach as advantageous a postseason position as possible. Neither has clinched its division, although New Orleans owns at least a wild-card spot in the NFC, and one more victory gives New England the AFC East.

Manning, barring injury, won’t be sitting out anything with the Giants needing to sweep their final three games to assure making the playoffs.

To contact Mike Tyson agent, call 1.800.966.1380.

What does Tyson say about his new fanbase: “Before, my crowd was like the late-night stoners from Las Vegas. Now it’s a whole different clientele.”

Recently Mike Tyson joined ESPN Las Vegas with The Gridlock to discuss what he’s been up to, Michael Buffer being elected to the Hall of Fame, a potential Pacquiao-Mayweather fight and the passing of Joe Frazier.

Sports Radio Interview Questions:

How many new fans do you think you have just based on your singing and The Hangover and things like that?:

“Hey, listen, this new Mike Tyson guy, I don’t know him that well, but he’s got a whole big fanbase of new people, people that never even saw him participate in any kind of fisticuffs and stuff. That’s what takes him to a whole different variation, as far as a fanbase and Twitter. It’s just totally different. I could just never dream of being able to talk to a billion people at one instant of a second.

Michael Buffer has been elected to the Hall of Fame. What are your feelings on that?:

“Hey, listen, there’s a bunch of guys that are in the Hall … that from the beginning of fighting, in the 20s and 1910, all these guys, these guys are in the Hall of Fame, too. If these guys never went to the Hall of Fame, then Michael Buffer shouldn’t. But these guys are in the Hall of Fame and his voice is more sensational. We had never heard that voice before. These are guys are people that we just heard because they were in the ring. … He entertained us. … He’s a part of the two men in the ring. The referee should be in there, the announcer should be in there.”

On the passing of Smokin’ Joe Frazier:

“One of the first all-time really greats, even since the beginning of boxing, that we could actually visualize and watch these guys and make sense out of what they’re doing.

Mike Ditka keeps a busy schedule meeting his fans through speaking engagements, appearances, Hall of Fame banquets, trade shows, autograph signings and corporate events.

Ditka is best known for coaching the Chicago Bears for 11 years and the New Orleans Saints for three years. Ditka and Tom Flores are the only two people to win Super Bowls as a player, an assistant coach, and a head coach. Ditka was the only individual to participate in both of the last two Chicago Bears’ championships, as a player in 1963 and as head coach in 1985.

The Bears started 4–0 in 1989, but a series of last-second losses eventually led to a complete meltdown at the end of the season as the Bears finished 6–10. The Bears rallied to win a weak Central Division in 1990 and make the playoffs as a wild card in 1991, but were eliminated convincingly in the early rounds. After dropping to 5–11 in the 1992 season, the Bears fired Ditka.

After leaving the Bears in 1992, Ditka took a broadcasting job with NBC, working as an analyst on NFL Live and as a color commentator for many other NBC broadcasts. From the 2000 to the 2001 season he was a studio analyst on The NFL Today on CBS Sports.
