Txylo.com/10311436

DALLAS - Txylo -- Paul Salfen, the veteran TV host, producer, writer, and editor, has compiled a collection of amazing stories and pointers from some of the most notable people in film, music, sports, business, and current events that's meant to educate, entertain, and inspire.

With a foreword by legendary NFL player and Hall of Famer Drew Pearson—Salfen's co-host for 13 years on The Drew Pearson Show, Drew Pearson Live, and The Ultimate Hail Mary—the book is full of advice, wisdom, and "Hail Mary Moments," a term coined by the pair when they would ask guests about the moment in their life or career where they just had to go for it. Pearson caught the original Hail Mary pass in 1975 that has since become a pop culture term. The former Dallas Cowboys great gave Salfen a job when he threw a Hail Mary and asked to be on the show out of nowhere. Pearson decided to give Salfen a shot, and the rest is history, as millions have enjoyed these clips on FOX Sports, ABC, KTXD, Comcast SportsNet, and online. Salfen has also written and edited for top publications and has made appearances on every major network, as well as international broadcasts.

After giving a speech at the Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy at the request of his friend Trammell S.
