Meet Our Host, Emcee and Dancers |
HOST
2009-2010:
Preston Pearson played in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 years. He began his career with the Baltimore Colts in 1967, was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1970 and finished his career with the Dallas Cowboys from 1975-1980.  Preston
played in five (5) Superbowls (with 3 different teams) during
his 14 year NFL career. He wore the #26 jersey throughout his
NFL career. During his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, Preston was known as Mr. Third Down. Preston wrote a book in 1985 entitled "Hearing The Noise" about his life in the NFL - published by William Morrow & Co. Preston designed and marketed the "original" Dallas Cowboys Bandana that was introduced to the fans at Texas Stadium during the 1979 season. He utilized his creative expertise to design the “Smiles Caricatures” program for 7-11 Southland Corporation. They were caricatures of several Dallas Cowboys players and coaches that were displayed on the 7-l1 Big Gulp cups. The Collector’s Cup Program was so well received in the DFW area - it was then expanded to several other NFL teams and players. Preston is a native of Freeport, Illinois and graduated from the University of Illinois. He played basketball for the Illini - not football. Since his retirement from the Dallas Cowboys in 1981, he has been involved in business as a professional sports announcer and sports marketing. Preston was Co-Host of "Gameday" and "Instant Replay" with Brad Sham on KRLD 1080 in Dallas for 10 years. He hosted the Cowboys Pre and Post Game shows on KTCK 1310 through the '97 NFL Season. Preston produced and hosted several on-site Cowboys Talk and Interview shows at Dallas area restaurants from 1992-2001. During the 2002 and 2003 season he hosted a weekly Sports Entertainment show on Fox Sports Radio. Preston is President and 50% partner of Pro-Style Associates, a sports promotion and marketing firm located in Dallas. Pro-Style Associates coordinates and books professional athletes for personal appearances and speaking engagements for business and corporate events. Preston started his promotions company in 1981 after his NFL retirement. |
