Famed quarterback and former Chicago Bear Doug Flutie, recently retired from pro football and now an ABC/ESPN sports commentator, and hip-hop artist Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, co-founder of the trailblazing group Run-DMC, will be featured players and performers for the Celebrity Flag Football Challenge™ on February 3 in Hollywood, Florida. Both Flutie and DMC are represented by Paid, Inc. (OTCBB:PAYD) celebrity services.
The celebrity flag football game is part of the Super Saturday in the Sand festivities in Hollywood, Florida, on February 3 to benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. The event celebrates Super Bowl XLI in nearby Dolphins Stadium in Miami Gardens the following day. More than 15,000 attendees are expected, including about 20 current and alumni NFL players and celebrities, Miami Dolphin and other NFL cheerleaders, representatives from various charities, and corporate partners.
McDaniels, has been an entertainment icon since forming the legendary, multi-platinum group Run-DMC with Joseph (Rev. Run) Simmons and the late Jason (Jam Master Jay) Mizell two decades ago and bringing hip hop into the musical mainstream. They were the first rap/hip-hop group to win a Grammy, the first rap act to reach the Billboard Top 10 and the first to get airplay on MTV. The biggest among their long list of mega-hits, often featuring their unique fusion of rock and rap, was “Walk this Way,” recorded with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. After Run-DMC disbanded and Jam Master Jay’s untimely death, DMC began work on his recently released solo album, “Checks, Thugs, Rock N Roll.” He remains a legend in hip-hop and among his very loyal, global fan base. DMC’s web site www.me-dmc.com has the latest news, merchandise, downloadable ring tones, fan club details and information on his debut solo album.
