Dedicated Leadership

Excellence & Strength

In 1980, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Terry Bradshaw became the first quarterback to win four Super Bowl championships, adding to his wins in 1975, 1976 and 1979 for a perfect 4-0 Super Bowl record. That achievement has been equaled only once—ten years later by Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers. Bradshaw was named Super Bowl MVP twice and All Pro four times before retiring from the game in 1984. A host of second careers followed, including actor, gospel and country singer, motivational speaker, best-selling author, breeder of champion quarter horses and his co-hosting role with Long.

Born in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1948, Bradshaw attended Woodlawn High School, which also produced Buffalo Bills quarterback Joe Ferguson. Bradshaw went on to Louisiana Tech, where he set passing and offense records, earned AP All-America recognition and received a bachelor of science degree in physical education in 1970. That same year, he was the first player chosen in the NFL draft, joining Pittsburgh for an extraordinary 14-season career. Known for his powerful throwing arm and for calling his own plays, the 6'3" Bradshaw led the Steelers to eight AFC Central championships, in addition to the four Super Bowl victories. He was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989, his first year of eligibility.

While still with the Steelers, Bradshaw served as a post-season guest commentator for CBS Sports and then joined the network as a game analyst in 1984. For four seasons beginning in 1990, he was a studio analyst and co-host with Greg Gumbel on CBS’s The NFL Today. In 1994, Bradshaw moved to FOX, joining Howie Long on FOX NFL Sunday, where Bradshaw plays the comic to Long’s straight man. The popular pre-

game show has won four Sports Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst for Bradshaw in 1999 and 2001.

Bradshaw is the only NFL player with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. He has appeared in such feature films as Hooper (1978), Smokey and the Bandit II (1980), The Cannonball Run (1981), Failure to Launch (2006) and had a voice role in the high-grossing animated feature, Robots (2005). He has had guest roles on such shows as Everybody Loves Raymond, 8 Simple Rules, Malcolm in the Middle, Evening Shade, Blossom, Hardcastle and

McCormick and The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. Bradshaw is a frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Terry Bradshaw is the author of five books—No Easy Game (1973), Terry Bradshaw: Man of Steel (1979), Looking Deep (1989), It’s Only A Game (2001) and Keep it Simple (2002). He has recorded top-selling gospel albums, a holiday album for children and a Top-10 country cover of Hank Williams’s I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.

Like Terry Bradshaw, Howie is a Pro Football Hall of Famer and has won an Emmy Award as co-host and analyst on FOX NFL Sunday. Long has appeared in several feature films, many television shows and numerous national advertising campaigns.

Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000, Howie Long brought to the game a rare combination of size, strength and speed that led him to be regarded as one of the best defensive linemen in NFL history. Playing his entire 13-season career for the Raiders—first in Oakland and then following the team’s move to Los Angeles—the 6'5" defensive end set a team record with eight Pro Bowl selections. He was named All AFC four times. He posted a career-best 13 sacks in the 1983 season, including five in one game against the Washington Redskins. That same season he recorded five tackles in the Raiders’ win over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. Long’s record in the following season included 58 tackles and 12 sacks.

Long was born in Somerville, Massachusetts in 1960. A standout athlete in multiple sports at Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts, he went on to an illustrious gridiron career at Villanova, where he also boxed and earned the Northern Collegiate Heavyweight Boxing title. Following his graduation from Villanova with a degree in communications, he was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 1981 NFL Draft.

Retired from football after the 1993 season, Long joined FOX NFL Sunday at its debut in 1994 and began his long-running and popular teaming with Terry Bradshaw. He won his Emmy for Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst in 1997. Long also pursued an acting career, starring

in Firestorm (1998) and appearing in Broken Arrow (1996) and 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001). He was a TV commercial spokesman for Radio Shack and has been featured in numerous campaigns for well-known companies, including currently for Chevrolet Trucks.

Long is especially active in charity and public service work. He is the founding national chairman of Athletes and Entertainers for Kids and former chairman of Heart, a charity that aids battered women and children.

He is a member of the American Cancer Society’s Public Awareness Council, serves as hon-orary chairman of his local Boys and Girls Club and has served as national honorary chairman of Richmond-based Andrew’s Buddies, an organi-zation which raises awareness and supports re-search to defeat spinal muscular atrophy. In 2001, Long and his wife, Diane, served as chairpersons of Child Abuse Prevention Month in Virginia.

Howie Long and his wife are residents of Ivy, Virginia, and are very active in the Charlottesville community.

An Abridged History Of The Rules Of NFL Football.

1876: The first rules for American football were written.

1898: Touchdowns changed from 4 points to 5.

1904: Field goals changed from 5 points to 4.

1906: The forward pass was legalized and the first pass completion in a pro game occured.

1909: A field goal dropped from 4 points to 3.

1912: Touchdowns increased from 5 points to 6.

1933: The NFL, which long had followed the rules of college football, began to develop rules serving its needs and the style of play it preferred, including legalizing the forward pass from any-

where behind the line of scrimmage.

1946: Forward passes were made automatically incomplete upon striking the goal posts.

1948: Plastic helmets were prohibited and a flex-ible artificial tee was permitted at the kickoff.

1951: A rule was passed that no tackle, guard, or center would be eligible to catch a forward pass.

1955: The sudden-death overtime rule was used for the first time in a pre-season game between the Rams and Giants. The Rams won 23-17, three minutes into overtime.

A rule change declared the ball dead immediately if the ball carrier touched the ground with any

part of his body except his hands or feet while in the grasp of an opponent.

1956: Grabbing an opponent’s facemask (other than the ball carrier) was made illegal.

Using radio receivers to communicate with players on the field was prohibited.

A natural leather ball with white stripes replaced the white ball with black stripes for night games.

1967: The “sling-shot” goal post and a six-foot-wide border around the field were made standard.

1970: Adopted putting names on the backs of players’ jerseys.

1973: A jersey numbering system was adopted: 1-19 for quarterbacks and specialists, 20-49 for running backs and defensive backs, 50-59 for cen-ters and linebackers, 60-79 for defensive linemen and interior offensive linemen other than centers, and 80-89 for wide receivers and tight ends.

1974: Sweeping rules changes were adopted to add action and tempo to games.

1976: Owners adopted the use of two 30-second clocks for all games, visible to both players and fans, to note the official time between the ready-for-play signal and snap of the ball.

1977: Rules changes were adopted to open up the passing game and to cut down on injuries: defenders were permitted to make contact with eligible receivers only once; the head slap was outlawed; offensive linemen were prohibited from thrusting their hands to an opponent’s neck, face, or head; and wide receivers were prohibited from clipping, even in the legal clipping zone.

1978: Rule changes permitted a defender to maintain contact with a receiver within five yards of the line of scrimmage, but restricted contact beyond that point.

1979: NFL rules changes emphasized additional player safety. The changes prohibited players on the receiving team from blocking below the waist during kickoffs, punts, and field-goal attempts; prohibited the wearing of torn or altered equip-ment and exposed pads that could be hazardous; and instructed officials to quickly whistle a play dead when a quarterback was clearly in the grasp of a tackler.

1980: Rules changes placed greater restrictions on contact in the area of the head, neck, and face.

1988: For a normal sequence of plays, the inter-val between plays was increased from 30 seconds to 45 seconds, from the time the ball is signaled dead until it is snapped on the succeeding play.

1994: Implemented a 2-point conversion follow-ing touchdowns. Teams have the option of passing or running for two points or kicking for one point.

The starting point of all kickoffs is moved back 5 yards to the kicking team’s 30 yard line.

Kickoff tees can be no more than one inch in height (previously 3 inches).

For all field goals attempted and missed when the spot of the kick is beyond the 20 yard line, the defensive team taking possession will get the ball at the spot of the kick. On any field goal at-tempted and missed with the spot of the kick on or inside the 20, the ball will go to the defensive team taking possession at the 20.

1995: Quarterbacks may now receive communi-cation from the bench via a small radio transmit-ter in their helmets.

1996: Hits with the helmet or to the head by the defender will be flagged as personal fouls and subject to fines. This is being done to protect the offense, particularly the quarterback.

1997: No player may remove his helmet while on the playing field. Doing so will result in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

1998: The coin toss will be called before the coin itself is tossed.

A team will be penalized immediately for having twelve players in a huddle, even if the 12th player goes straight to the sideline as the huddle breaks.

A defensive player can no longer flinch before the snap to draw movement from an offensive linemen.

2000: Fines will be assessed for celebrations by two or more players.

Anyone wearing an eligible number (1-49 and 80-89) can play at quarterback without having to check in with the referee.

2001: Fumble recoveries will be awarded at the spot of the recovery, not where the player’s momentum carries him.

Taunting rules are tightened, with 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties flagged.

2002: A player who touches a pylon remains in-bounds until any part of his body touches the ground out-of-bounds.

The act of batting and stripping the ball from player possession is legalized.

2004: “Flamboyant” celebrations will be penal-ized automatically for 15 yards.

2005: During field goal and extra point attempts, the defensive team will be penalized for unsports-manlike conduct if it calls consecutive timeouts in an attempt to “ice” the kicker.

Players cannot run, dive into, cut, or throw their bodies against or on an opponent who is out of the play or should not have reasonably anticipated such contact.

Teams are only able to request an instant replay challenge by tossing their red flag to get the at-tention of officials. The league decided to do away with the electronic pager/vibrating alert system used by head coaches because practically all of them always used their red flags instead of their pagers anyway.

2006: End zone celebrations are more restricted. Players cannot celebrate by using any type of prop, or do any act in which they are on the ground. Players may still spike, spin the ball, or dunk it over the goal posts. Dancing in the end zone is also permitted as long as it is not a prolonged or group celebration.

Defenders are prohibited from hitting a passer in the knee or below unless they are blocked into him. This rule was enacted in response to the previous season’s injuries to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Brian Griese.

Down-by-contact calls can now be reviewed by

instant replay to determine if a player fumbled the ball before he was down, and who recovered it. Previously, these plays could not be reversed once officials blew the whistle.

2007: The instant replay system, used since 1999, was finally made a permanent officiating tool. Previously, it was renewed on a biennial basis. The system was also upgraded to use high-definition technology. One reason that the technology was improved was that fans with high-definition tele-visions at home were having better views on re-plays than the officials.

After a play is over, players who spike the ball in the field of play, other than in the end zone, will receive a 5-yard delay of game penalty.

Roughing-the-passer penalties will not be called on a defender engaged with a quarterback who simply extends his arms and shoves the passer to the ground.

During situations where crowd noise becomes a problem (when it becomes too loud that it pre-vents the offensive team from hearing its signals), the offense can no longer ask the referee to reset the play clock.

It is necessary to have the ball touch the pylon or break the plane above the pylon to count as a touchdown. Previously, a player just had to have some portion of his body over the goal line or pylon to count a touchdown.

A completed catch is now when a receiver gets two feet down and has control of the ball. Previously, a receiver had to make “a football move” in addition to having control of the ball for a reception.

2008: One defensive player will be allowed to wear a radio similar to the one worn by the quar-terback to communicate with the coaching staff.

Teams that win the opening coin toss now have the option to defer the decision until the start of the second half, the same as in college football.

Field goal attempts that bounce off the goal post are now reviewable under instant replay. This change followed a decision during the previous season during a Browns-Ravens game when Phil Dawson’s game-tying field goal hit an upright, then the crossbar and the back of the goal post.

Dr. Neil deGrasse TysonAn Out of This World EveningNovember 14, 2009

Called the “Carl Sagan of the 21st century,” astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is a big brain with an even bigger personality who will take us on an enthusiastic journey out of this world. Dr. Tyson is the director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, host of PBS’s NOVA ScienceNow series, author of Death by Black Hole and The Pluto Files, and explainer of all things cosmic.

David PlouffeThe World One Year LaterFebruary 6, 2010

As campaign manager for Barack Obama, David Plouffe is credited with building the most innovative presidential campaign in U.S. history, setting new records for fundraising and grassroots mobilization through the bold use of new technology. One year into the Obama administration, Plouffe will examine whether the energy of the 13 million Americans mobilized by the campaign has been successfully redirected to play a key role in influencing and promoting public policy initiatives, and how the changing face of American demographics is reshaping our economic and political landscape.

Greg MortensonOne Person Can Change The WorldJanuary 9, 2010

Following a failed attempt to climb the highest peak in Pakistan in 1993, an exhausted Mortenson was taken in by the residents of a small village. To repay their kindness, Mortenson promised to return to build a school for their children, even though he would be sleeping in his car upon his return to the States. Today, he has built over 60 schools in the most remote and volatile areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, at great risk to his own personal safety. Greg will share his inspirational story, made famous in Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One School at a Time, which has become both a best seller and a State Department must-read. Mortenson’s much anticipated follow-up book is scheduled for release in December.

Steve ForbesThe Worlds of Economics, Business, and PoliticsMarch 6, 2010

As Chairman and CEO of Forbes Inc. and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Magazine, Steve Forbes is front and center on matters of the economy, business, and politics. Through his frequent appearances on CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News and his recent report, How Capitalism Will Save Us, Forbes has become a voice of calm in these turbulent economic times. A two-time presidential candidate and longtime proponent of the flat tax, Forbes will bring his timely insights to The Forum.

Condoleezza RiceThe U.S. and the WorldApril 10, 2010

Condoleezza Rice will provide a sweeping look at global affairs during her tenure as secretary of state and national security advisor in the Bush administration. By sharing compelling stories of her experiences, she will illuminate the interrelationship of global events and leaders during a time of unprecedented and tumultuous world affairs and controversial U.S. policies.
