The 4th Annual DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl

On Saturday, February 6, the DIRECTV Celebrity Beach Bowl returns home to South Beach, the site of the inaugural Beach Bowl. Now in its fourth year, the Beach Bowl brings together gridiron greats and a who’s who of the entertainment world in a no-holds-barred flag football game.




Hosting this year’s Beach Bowl is Dan Patrick. Super Bowl-winning quarterback Eli Manning will coach the White Team, going head-to-head with Blue Team coach Mark Sanchez. Former Pro Bowlers Warren Moon and Troy Aikman will captain their respective teams at quarterback. Other former NFLers playing in the game will include Eddie George, Merril Hoge, and Daryl Johnston.



Rounding out the teams will be TV and films stars including Taylor Lautner, Kevin Dillon, Chace Crawford, Marisa Miller, Brian McKnight, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Jessica Szohr, all looking to prove they are just as much competitors as celebrities. And keep checking back to see what other celebrities will be taking to the sand.



Immediately after the game and trophy presentation, stay tuned as the crowd fills the beach for The Post-Game Concert featuring All-American Rejects, presented by Palladia, the High-Definition Music Channel from MTV.



It’s an afternoon full of sun, sand, songs and super action from the best of the football and entertainment world. So make sure you see it all LIVE on Saturday, February 6, on The 101 Network.
