Podcast appearances and mentions of steve bartkowski

Falcons legend Steve Bartkowski joins John Frick to talk Falcons past and present.

Atlanta Falcons legend Steve Bartkowski joins Johns Fricke to talk about the 2024 Falcons. The best thing that the Falcons have going for them right now is the division lead. What they need to do now is finish the job. One thing that Steve is adamant about is Arthur Blank and his commitment to this Falcons franchise. Bartkoswki says that he believes that if the Falcons do not get the job done this year, they will be right back in the mix next year. Bartkowski also sees what the Detroit Lions are doing right now, and sees the Falcons on a similar trajectory, but urges fans to just be patient.

Steve Bartkowski was an All American in both baseball and football at Cal. He would be the #1 overall pick in the 1975 NFL Draft, and despite some early injuries, he would lead Atlanta to its first three playoff appearances. The Falcons were an exciting team which seemed to always be pulling out a last-minute win, with many of the heroics orchestrated by #10. He is still one of only 10 men in league history to throw 30 TD's in consecutive seasons. Listen in for some great stories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In the February 11, 1974 issue of Sports Illustrated, the WFL was making a move on the NFL, and the draft was their target. One year later, a 25-year old Leigh Steinberg entered the sports world when his UC-Berkeley friend Steve Bartkowski was the #1 overall pick of the NFL Draft and asked Leigh to be his agent... and with that, the door was opened for Leigh's incredible career. A record 8 times he has represented the top pick in the NFL Draft... and his clients include a who's who of NFL all-time greats from Warren Moon, Steve Young and Troy Aikman to Patrick Mahomes. We'll talk with Leigh about the impact he and his clients have made, his time as student body president and how Ronald Reagan influenced him in negotiating with both the NFL & WFL, being the character the fantastic film Jerry Maguirre is based on, and being 13 years sober.

Super agent Leigh Steinberg tells Nestor why he doesn't represent himself and gives primer on NFL QB contracts

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the Atlanta Falcons to the table for discussion. 

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Steve Bartkowski talks about being selected number one overall in the 1975 NFL Draft, why he began to second-guess his decision to choose football over baseball, how losing his starting job changed him, why a 1980 playoff loss to the Cowboys still haunts him, and the athletic lessons that he has applied to the rest of his life.

1983 Week 3 - Saturday, March 19, 1983. Attendance: 28,952. TV: ESPN Oakland quarterback Fred Besana ruined Michigan's home opener, completing 24 of 30 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Wyatt Henderson in route to the Invaders' 33-27 win. It also overshadowed a sparkling comeback engineered by Bobby Hebert, the Panthers' quarterback, who was benched early. Hebert returned late in the third period and threw three TD passes to Derek Holloway. Both teams came into the contest at 1-1. Coached by Jim Stanley, the Panthers had scored just one touchdown in the first two contests (they won their opening game over the Birmingham Stallions by a 9-7 score thanks to three Novo Bojovic field goals). Rookie QB Bobby Hebert, a largely unknown quantity from out of Northwest Louisiana State, had won the starting job but was off to a slow start, as was the far-more-heralded rookie WR Anthony Carter from the Univ. of Michigan, who had been the team's biggest preseason signing. Oakland was coached by John Ralston, formerly of Stanford and the Denver Broncos, and had its own unheralded starting quarterback in Fred Besana, a 29-year-old who had last been behind center for the Twin Cities Cougars of the semi-pro California Football League. Backup to Steve Bartkowski and the ill-fated Joe Roth at California, he had failed to make the cut with the NFL Giants and Bills, but was making the most of his opportunity in the new USFL. He had already found a favorite target in WR Wyatt Henderson. The Invaders, who had skimped on talent coming out of college, also featured TE Raymond Chester and HB Arthur Whittington veteran ex-Raiders, on offense. There were 28,952 in attendance at the Pontiac Silverdome for the Saturday night game. Hebert started poorly, completing only one of his first seven passes, and was relieved by backup Whit Taylor. Still, the Panthers led by 3-0 after one quarter of play thanks to a 44-yard field goal by Bojovic. Oakland took the lead in the second quarter as Besana connected with Henderson on a fly pattern for a 45-yard touchdown. Bojovic kicked another 44-yard field goal but Kevin Shea was successful from 32 yards and the Invaders were up by 10-6 at the half. Oakland scored two more touchdowns in the third quarter, with Besana tossing another TD pass to Henderson, this time of 22 yards, and Whittington running for a 14-yard score. The extra point was missed after the latter TD, but it hardly seemed to matter as the Invaders held a commanding 23-6 lead. The Panthers were down but not out, however, and Hebert returned to the game to spark a furious rally. It began with a touchdown pass to WR Derek Holloway that covered 48 yards and, with the successful extra point, made it 23-13 heading into the fourth quarter. Fred Besana completed 24 of 30 passes for 341 yards with three touchdowns and none intercepted. While Wyatt Henderson scored two of those TDs among his three catches for 93 yards, Raymond Chester was Oakland's top receiver as he pulled in 7 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Arthur Whittington also had a big day, rushing for 109 yards and a TD on 26 carries and adding 4 catches for 46 more yards. For the Panthers, following the shaky start Bobby Hebert ended up completing 13 of 23 throws for 289 yards with three TDs and no interceptions. Derek Holloway caught three passes -- all for touchdowns -- and gained 108 yards. RB Ken Lacy was the team's leading ground gainer with 23 yards on 8 attempts. Anthony Carter had a mixed performance, pulling in two passes for 85 yards that included the one long bomb that set up Holloway's second TD. However, he also fumbled two punts, one of which led to an Oakland score.

125: Leigh Steinberg: CEO and Chairman of the Board at Steinberg Sports and Entertainment in Orange County, California Area talks about reaching his summit as a professional sports agent of over 300 athletes, sliding down the valley of alcoholism, and climbing up a new summit of sobriety and success.  Leigh Steinberg  Leigh Steinberg is an extremely successful man who has managed to walk the tightrope between the lucrative business of being a sports agent and paying it forward along the way. Not only has he looked for organic ways to get athletes to prepare for their futures during retirement, he has helped to guide them towards giving back to their communities that have given them so much.    On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Leigh Steinberg, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Steinberg Sports and Entertainment in Orange County, California. Leigh Steinberg has had many highly impressive achievements along the way in his career. He has had the most amount of overall #1 NFL draft picks with a total of eight, and 60 first-rounders. Leigh has been the agent for basketball, baseball, boxing, and Olympic sports players, over 300 athletes all together. But he also has managed to score big in his win against alcoholism.    What You Will Learn:   What was it like for Leigh Steinberg to start off with Warren Moon? “At the time Warren (Moon) was the MVP of the Rose Bowl and a really talented quarterback from the University of Washington. He aspired to be a quarterback. But at that time in the NFL the so-called thinking positions, which were centers, quarterbacks, safety were thought by many in the NFL fraternity to be not a great launching pad for African American athletes.” Warren spent 6 years in Edmonton as a part of the Canadian league and proved himself to the NFL. Just how well did Warren Moon do? He ended up being the first pure free agent and wasn’t even the starter and was still the MVP. “At the end he signed the biggest contract yet for an NFL player with the then, Houston Oilers. He ended up playing 23 years, six in the CFL and 17 in the NFL.” Leigh Steinberg also went on to become best friends with Warren Moon.    Leigh Steinberg was voted most likely to succeed in his high school class. He was also essentially played by Tom Cruise in the movie Jerry Maguire, the hit movie that Leigh also served as technical advisor on. “I took Cuba Gooding Jr. down to the Super Bowl and made him pretend he was a wide receiver because he had gone to NYU and there was no football there.” Leigh also wrote a New York Times bestselling book called Winning With Integrity.    Even though both of Leigh Steinberg’s parents attended UCLA for college, Leigh ended up choosing to go to Berkley for college during the counterculture times of the 1960s. “I had been raised by parents that emphasized two values, one was to treasure relationships, especially family. Are you a good son? Are you a good father? Are you good to your friends? There at critical times when they really need you? And the second was to make a difference in the world. So I was always judged by, did I help people that couldn’t help themselves?”    Who was the first professional athlete client that Leigh Steinberg added up representing? “Steve Bartkowski was drafted in January. They had the draft in January then of 1975 and he had had another agent but he wasn’t happy and he asked me to represent him. So there I was, brimming with legal experience. So, I wasn’t sure when I did the Bartkowski negotiation that this was going to be a career. But, I had an epiphany.”    Leigh has had the foresight and understanding to see that athletes have the transferal skills to become successful in business. “To be a successful athlete you have to have self-discipline, you have to have an understanding that you may be suffering now and putting work in that is not the most pleasant for future success. You turn down present gratification for future success. You have to take a complex set of information and use it in real time. You have to exhibit courage and ultimate performance under high pressure and teamwork is also a key.”    Show Me the Money    Leigh realises that it is more important to use the Internet to create new forms of income instead of the friction stemming from the fight between labor and management in professional sports. ”Every time we have a collective bargaining agreement that pits billionaires against millionaires, how much empathy do you think that somebody who has a median income of $60,000 is going to have for either party? So, what we need to do is build the brand.”   Winning with Sobriety    During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Leigh Steinberg also opens up about his past struggle with alcoholism, how it impacted his life negativity, and how he turned it all around and fought back to become sober for the last 10 years. “I shut down everything. Gave my practice to the younger agents. Shut down my house, my condo, my business, and went into sober living. And I said, if nothing else in this world, I will be a sober person and I will be a good parent.”   Links to Additional Resources: Leigh Steinberg: Linkedin  Twitter Steinberg Sports and Entertainment: steinbergsports.com Laird Superfood – Code: Markp20 [Sponsor] Cascade Mountain Tech [Sponsor]  

Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Tony Gonzalez, Drew Bledsoe, Warren Moon, Evander Holyfield, Oscar De La Hoya, Lennox Lewis, Patrick Mahomes. These are just a few of 300+ pro athletes that Leigh Steinberg, founder of Steinberg Sports & Entertainment, has represented throughout his 45-year career as a sports agent.Growing up in LA, Leigh attended UC Berkeley in the late 1960s during the historic Free Speech Movement era. While a dorm counselor, he met Steve Bartkowski, who was the starting quarterback for the UC Berkeley football team and would later become the #1 pick in the 1975 NFL Draft (Steve Wozniak, co-founder and creator of Apple, was also a student on his floor).Leigh, fresh out of law school with zero professional legal experience, was asked by Bartkowski to represent him and the rest is history. Leigh went on to negotiate the largest rookie contract in NFL history for Bartkowski and has successfully negotiated over $3 billion in contracts ever since. He was also the real-life inspiration behind the movie, Jerry Maguire, starring Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr. ("SHOW ME THE MONEY!").In this episode, Pat and Posh sit down with Leigh to hear the incredible story of how he pioneered the sports agent world and was able to represent such successful talent across several sports, his approach to finding the right athletes to represent, the massive successes as well as setbacks he’s faced throughout his life, and the accomplishments he’s most proud of.He also shares his thoughts on the parallels between sports and life, athletes as today’s biggest influencers, advice for those who are looking to have a successful career as a sports agent, and the nationwide debate around college athletes getting paid.SUBSCRIBE TO TFH NEWSLETTER & STAY UPDATED > http://bit.ly/tfh-newsletterFOLLOW TFH ON INSTAGRAM > http://www.instagram.com/thefounderhourFOLLOW TFH ON TWITTER > http://www.twitter.com/thefounderhourINTERESTED IN BECOMING A SPONSOR?
