#10 Houston Rockets 1976 First Overall Pick Round 1 1976-1990 "Lack of power was my greatest dilemma. Surrendering power has been my greatest gift. Thanks to SoberBowl SuperFest committee and sponsors for shining a positive light on Houston's recovery community."
#20 Houston Oilers NFL Cornerback 1981-1988 "To play in the NFL was a life changing experience. The 12-step community saved my life. Great job Houston, and the planning committee for being the city in the nation, to create a city wide environment for the recovery community to have a fun way to be part of the Super Bowl experience alcohol and drug free."
#34 Houston Oilers Running Back 43rd Heisman Trophy Winner 1991 NFL Hall of Fame Inductee "The idea of the SoberBowl is awesome. I always say the biggest part of my staying sober has been my support system. Family is great, but when you are able to surround yourself with people that are fighting the same battles that you are everyday; you build a network & that becomes very inspirational. I take it one day at a time. You have to thank God for today & pray about tommorrow."
San Diego Chargers #16 NFL Second Overall Draft Pick #16 San Diego Chargers NFL Quarterback 1998 - 2001 "What SBSF is doing is giving everyone the opportunity to have a safe & sober alternative to the status quo of what a Super Bowl party is. Transcend embodies the ideals of Community, Accountability, & Spirituality and that is what this event is all about. AA and my recovery program saved my life and this is our way of infusing that life into a long standing stigma for some positive change
#60 Tampa Bay Buccaneers CENTER 1983 - 1992 "Getting sober is my greatest accomplishment. It was also the hardest to achieve, but through God and AA, I have learned how to be a man again...one day at a time! Thank you SBSF for creating a safe and sober GAME DAY environment!"
#98 New England Patriots Defensive Tackle Super Bowl Champion XXXVI New England Patriots 1997-2001 Seattle Seahawks 2002-2004 "Sobriety has taught me a whole new way on how to live. How cool to have a Recovery base party to watch one of the greatest Sporting events!"
