Decker had a breakout season in 2012 for the Denver Broncos. In what was Decker’s first season having Peyton Manning as his quarterback, he hauled in a career-best 85 catches for 1,064 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was number 20 in the NFL in terms of yards for WRs and his 13 touchdowns were the second most among NFL wide receivers in the 2012 season.

Commenting on the announcement, MusclePharm Founder & CEO Brad Pyatt stated, “Decker not only rose to national prominence in 2012 playing with Peyton Manning, he is also an enormous fan favorite in Denver, home to the MusclePharm headquarters. We are thrilled to have Decker join MusclePharm team.”

Singer/Songwriter @seankingston Challenges Fans to Get Fit for Summer With DietBet

Kingston is encouraging his millions of fans to join him in the four-week-long game, where one lucky fan will have the chance to win more than his or her share of the pot: a meet-and-greet with the celebrity icon.

Although Kingston previously struggled with his weight, the charismatic young singer lost 75 pounds over the past year by working out and eating healthier. He is turning to DietBet and his fans for motivation to drop the final 10 pounds.

The rules for a DietBet are simple. Players each bet money into the pot ($50 apiece in the case of the Sean Kingston game) and everyone who loses four percent of their starting weight splits the pot equally at the end of the four weeks. Unlike The Biggest Loser, DietBet is not winner-take-all; there can be many winners. In addition to a portion of the pot, players who win the DietBet have the chance to receive an autographed copy of Kingston’s latest album, tickets to his upcoming tour and other prizes. The game kicks off on April 16 and runs through May 16.

“I’m committed to making positive changes in my life, and I’ve made my health a priority,” said Kingston. “Working with DietBet is a new fun way to reach my goal. It gives me the chance to not only give my fans a behind-the-scenes look at what choices I’m making when it comes to food and exercise, but also makes me accountable for following through.”

Kingston is chronicling his weight-loss experience and sharing photos to his more than 11.7 million fans across his social media channels, including his website (www.seankingston.com), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/seankingston), YouTube channel, Twitter (@seankingston) and Instagram (instagram.com/badmonkingston) accounts throughout the game.

“Sean Kingston’s commitment to his health is inspirational,” said Jamie Rosen, DietBet founder and CEO. ”Sharing his success with his fans and helping them to lose weight in a fun and interactive way can make a positive difference for so many people.”

Of the 25,000+ people who have played a Dietbet game to date, more than 90 percent have lost weight. In the year since DietBet’s launch, players have lost more than 167,000 pounds and placed more than $1 million in bets.

Singer/Songwriter @seankingston Challenges Fans to Get Fit for Summer With DietBet

To compete in Kingston’s game, players, 18 years and older, can sign up at www.dietbet.com/seankingston and bet $50 to participate.
