Vince Ferragamo, retired from professional football after 10 seasons, and is best remembered as the only quarterback to take the Los Angeles Rams to the Superbowl. Vince was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams from the University of Nebraska. While with the Rams, he set many club records, including passing 509 yards against the Chicago Bears making him second in NFL History. He compiled over 11,000 passing yards with a career passing percentage of 56%. Before retiring, Vince spent one season with the Buffalo Bills and one with the Green Bay Packers. Since retiring, he has remained active with the Rams, doing the color broadcast for pre-season games and makes community service appearances on their behalf.

Sebastian Anzaldo
by Terry Anzaldo
Originally hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, Sebastian Anzaldo grew up in a musical family (his Father Subby, was a Sax Player and later a Talent Agent, and his Mother Janice, was a singer). He started playing drums and singing at the age of 11. Sebastian's passion for Jazz Music led him to New York, compliments of the National Endowment For the Arts. The next year, he headed to the opposite coast to make his fame and fortune in Los Angeles, where he played professionally for 14 years.Â
Sebastian then relocated to the entertainment capitol of the world - Las Vegas, where he discovered his knack for performing as "Frank". With a dedication to perfecting the art of Sinatra, everything was in place and Sebastian began booking one corporate event after another. As word got out that there was a new "Chairman' in town, he got the call to star in "The Tribute to the Rat Pack" on the Las Vegas Strip. This led to six years at the Riviera Hotel & Casino headlining with Sharon Owens as Barbra Streisand in the wonderful “Barbra & Frank: The Concert That Never Was”. Sebastian debuted his Sinatra tribute on national TV in the summer of 2007 on the ABC hit show, The Next Best Thing, where he came in 2nd to none other than Elvis! He also performs with “Legends In Concert” and entertains throughout the US and the World. Tours include United States, Canada, Italy, Spain, London, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Bahamas and many more.
