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.

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. He is currently a commentator on ESPN’s NFL Live, ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, and CBS Radio-Westwood One’s Monday Night Football pregame show.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

The 906 net yards passing by both teams was a league record.

“They made some plays on us,” Brady said. “We made a few more than them.”

Brady, who completed 32 of 48 passes, became the 11th quarterback to throw for at least 500 yards. Norm Van Brocklin set the record of 554 yards in 1951; Brady’s total ranks fifth in league history

Drew Brees is a popular speaker says PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agency.

Entertainment Weekly reports:

Some of the athletes will be seen competing against the contestants in a throwing contest, while others help the pound shedders with their “Last Chance Workout” before that week’s weigh-in. “It’s not just some great athlete coming out and saying ‘Hey, look at me!’” says BL exec producer Todd Lubin. “We actually get to their stories — and these NFL guys have unbelievable stories. Drew had a major debilitating injury, came back and won a Super Bowl, so his message was, ‘Whatever the adversity is, you’ve got to fight through it.’” Lubin also quips: “It’s a good chance to get the men to watch Biggest Loser alongside their wives.”

Other NFL players who have previously appeared on the show included Jerry Rice, Kurt Warner, Rod Woodson and Steve Young.

Deion Sanders is inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame Aug. 6, 2011

In his speech, Sanders, 44, paid tribute to his coaches and teammates, but the highlight of his speech came when he reiterated a promise he made to his mother as a seven-year-old in Fort Myers, Fla.

“I made a promise when I was seven years old to this young woman at the age of 27. She was working two jobs just to see if ends could see one another, cause they never met. And she was slaving over pots and pans on that precise day,” said an emotional Sanders, in front of roughly 13,000 fans in Canton, Ohio.

“And I said, ‘Mamma’ — because I was tired of seeing her go to work and come home all tired — I said, ‘We’re gonna be rich one day. Mamma, I’m going to make a lot of money. And you will never have to work another day of your life.’ My mamma said, ‘That’s fine. But until then, you get that lawnmower and go out and cut that grass.’ …

“I made a pledge to myself, that I don’t care what it takes, I don’t care what it may take, I’m not going to do anything illegal, but my mamma will never have to work another day of her life.”

Sanders kept his promise to his mother, Constance Knight, who beamed with pride during her son’s speech.

Archie Griffin is a popular sports speaker says PFP Sports and Celebrity Booking Agent

Griffin, who remains the only player in college football history to be awarded the Heisman Trophy twice, is also a popular motivational speaker on the circuit today. He was inducted into the 1986 College Football Hall of Fame and is currently the President and CEO of the Ohio State University Alumni Association.

“The College Football Hall of Fame is proud to present the 15th season of the Gridiron Legends Luncheon series to our community,” said Hall of Fame Executive Director Lisa Klunder. “In partnership with KeyBank, we are excited to have the opportunity to bring another stellar group of guest speakers to the platform. As we begin our series with Donovan McNabb and Archie Griffin, attendees will be inspired as they share with us their personal passion and commitment for the game of college football.”

“Each presenter brings a unique perspective on football, their careers and life in general. Along with our audience, I have learned something from each person, and again look forward to the series and line-up this season,” saig KeyBank President Randy Foster said.

For the 2011 Gridiron Legends Luncheon season, the Hall of Fame is proud to collaborate with Uplifting Athletes, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating awareness and support for rare diseases. Due to their “rare” designation, such diseases are often overlooked for funding that would help research and treatment. Aligning college football with rare disease, Uplifting Athletes has established nine chapters nationwide that are organized and managed by current football student-athletes. Each chapter adopts one of nearly 7,000 rare diseases and works to bring it to the national stage through outreach, research, education and advocacy.

To commemorate the debut of Uplifting Athletes’ involvement in the Gridiron Legends Luncheon series, presenting sponsor KeyBank has made a monetary donation to the organization . KeyBank’s contribution represents its support of the growth and expansion of Uplifting Athlete’s college chapter network as UA strives to raise rare disease as a national priority. For more information about Uplifting Athletes and its mission, visit www.upliftingathletes.org.

Past speakers in the Gridiron Legends Luncheon series have included Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Bo Jackson, Bobby Bowden, Drew Brees, Mike Ditka, Lou Holtz, Keith Jackson, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning among many others. Luncheons consist of a question and answer session with the featured speaker, a video presentation and lunch. Questions will also be taken from audience members. Tickets for individual luncheons are $35 per person ($25 student rate) or $270 for a table of eight. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 574-235-5735. Each luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m.

Bobby Bowden speakers in Birmingham, AL (Birmingham News, Mark Almond)

“I’d hate to be doing nothing, I really would,” Bowden said. “The worst thing that could happen to me would be having nothing to do, it would drive me nuts. I try to speak three, four or five times a week and I really enjoy it because I usually speak to a good cause.”

As one of the more popular Christian speakers and motivational speakers we book, says PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agent, Bowden is an inspiration to young men and women alike.

While he said he misses the game of football, Bowden said he doesn’t miss having to worry about the well-being of some 100-plus football players on a day-to-day basis.

“The first thing when you retire you realize the pressure is off,” Bowden said. “I coached for 57 years. When I finished college I went right into coaching at Sanford University in 1963 and I coached 57 straight years without stopping, so when I stopped I didn’t know what it would be like not to have to worry about this kid going to class or this kid going to trouble or recruiting this kid.”

During his session with media before he addressed the FCA, Bowden recalled one of the greatest recruiting coups of his career, signing North Fort Myers star Deion Sanders.

“I remember visiting with him we were very fortunate to get him because in my opinion he’s the best athlete I’ve ever coached,” Bowden said. “Just based on pure athletic ability — I might have had some that were more valuable, Charlie Ward might have been more valuable, Warrick Dunn might have been more valuable — but none of them were as good of a player as Deion.”

Bowden said he plans to continue speaking and living in Tallahassee for the time being, but he does have plans to relocate with his wife Ann to Panama City sometime in the future.

Dick Vermeil is a popular sports speaker says booking agent PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent.

Vermeil was named the NFL’s Coach of the Year in 1980, and led the Eagles into Super Bowl XV after defeating the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC championship. He retired for the first time after the 1982 season.

Today Dick Vermeil is a popular motivational speaker. He was recently asked to be the keynote speaker for West Chester University’s (WCU) annual Integrative Health Conference that took place Friday, March 18, at the Emilie K. Asplundh Concert Hall in Philips Memorial Building.

Vermeil said that a coach at any level and in any profession has to make sure that those under their guidance know that they care about them, one of the principles discussed in his speech.

“Before you can care about others, you have to care about yourself,” Vermeil said. “Players don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

According to Vermeil, a positive work atmosphere is a key ingredient of success for any team. Vermeil, who is passionate about his own health, said that looking out one’s welfare is necessary to encourage others to do the same.

“If you’re in a leadership position, then make sure you’re a good example in every way, not only in your expertise but in how you take care of your health,” Vermeil said. “These kinds of things relate. I’ve talked about being responsible for creating a great atmosphere to work in, which is then conducive to better contributions by everybody. When people enjoy being in the atmosphere that they work in, everything goes better.”

Integrative health coaching is “an emerging expression of medical science and health care that acknowledges all the strengths of our western conventional medicine but also integrate s into it proven and clinically valuable initiatives, modalities and techniques that come from other health models,” according to Roger Mustalish, the chair of the university’s department of health.

He’s a very inspirational speaker,” Mustalish said. “His message really has appeal for anybody interested in success and leadership and attaining your goals. He certainly has a great track record.”
