Retire Like A Champion!

It is that time of the year again! The NFL season was almost on hold over the summer, but here we go again with a classic showdown between the Giants and Patriots. I have always been a big fan of football, and it was not until 1999 that my team’s chance at a Super Bowl appearance came full circle. The St Louis Rams hired, out of retirement, a coach that took another team from the basement to the playoffs. Coach Dick Vermeil was already successful in many ways, NFC Championships, Rose Bowl Championship, and a trip to the Super Bowl.  It was the 1999 season that put a opportunity for Coach Vermeil to head back to the coveted game of the decade!  The team was very successful and Coach decided to retire again after a last play victory in Super Bowl XXXIV.

You can listen to coach Dick Vermeil on the Retire Smart Radio Show this Sunday at 10:30 AM on WDEL 1150AM.  Your host, B Michael Shanley asks the coach about retirement, his new wine business, and the emotions that come with a Super Bowl victory.  Coach Vermeil was well known for his great wins as the leader of the Philadelphia Eagles. He took the team to the playoffs, and had a shot at a Super Bowl win. 

At 75 years old, Coach Vermeil is now knee deep in another family passion, wine!  Vermeil wines are sold across the country and feature many award wining offerings, including a Double Gold Award for the 2008 and 2009 Proprietary Red Wines.  Vermeil was raised in the Napa Valley and his passion is very evident in all the wonderful selections from VermeilWines.com

Please join us on Retire Smart Radio on Super Bowl Sunday at 10:30 AM WDEL AM to hear all the great information and how to Retire Like a Champion!
