Bon Jovi To Rock Central Park… For Free

July 1, 2008 - 1:15 pm , By Steve Gebhardt - Seton Hall U.

All-Star rocker Bon Jovi will be performing a free concert at New York’s Central Park on July 12th at 8PM to kick off Major League Baseball’s 2008 All-Star game celebrations taking place at Yankee Stadium on July 15th.

“All-Star Summer is set to hit New York City in a few weeks, and the lineup of festivities just added another future Hall-of-Famer in Bon Jovi,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“The free concert in Central Park is going to help make this year’s All-Star Summer a celebration to remember. The 2008 All-Star Game will pay tribute to the storied history of Yankee Stadium, and Bon Jovi will help us ensure it goes out in a blaze of glory — hopefully a blaze in late October.”

Tickets for this free event become available on Wednesday July 2nd at MLB.com.

Vince Young

Don’t get me wrong, there have been tons of truly amazing football players in the ranks of the NCAA - but there are a rare few that deserve recognition. Some have committed murder, yet others have gone on to illustrious careers that led to the Hall of Fame - some have done both. Cheers gentlemen!

Top Ten College Football Players of All-Time

10. Vince Young -Texas
In the 2006 Rose Bowl, he completed 30 of 40 passes for 267 yards and carried the ball 19 times for 200 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns. Those 200 rushing yards set a Bowl game rushing record by a QB. He was named Rose Bowl MVP for the second time in his career.

9. Tommy Nobis – Texas
He averaged nearly 20 tackles a game as a two time All-American linebacker and made the All-Southwest Conference team three times. Nobis also played on both defense and offense for his entire college career, playing guard on the offensive side of the ball.

8. Roger Staubach – Navy
As a junior in 1963, he won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award, while leading the Midshipmen to a 9-1 record and No. 2 final ranking. In his three seasons at Navy, he completed 292 of 463 passes, with only 19 interceptions, and gained a school record 4,253 yards of total offense. Read More »
