I would like to start off by explaining what fantasy football is and how it works. Fantasy football is all about constructing a virtual team made up of NFL players. At the start of any football season, everyone who want to be in the fantasy league gets together to have a draft. These team owners proceed to pick NFL players that they want for their team. Depending on what league someone is in determines what type of players an owner can put on their team. Typically a starting team will consist of one quarterback, a couple receivers and running backs, a kicker, a tight end, and a team defense. The owner with the first pick starts, this is usually the manager of the league. After he picks a player from the NFL, the next owner will pick a player and it goes down the line until all the owners have one player on their team. To make this process fair the owner with the last pick gets the first pick in the second round of the draft and then it will go up the line to the owner who had the first pick, and after the owner with
In the recent years, there have been lawsuits after lawsuits filed against the NFL, after more and more retired football players have been diagnosed with brain damage resulting from concussions during their career.

Football DBQ In the annual Ely Tigers versus Dillard Panthers football game, there was a play caught at the last minute, giving the Ely Tigers the win. The score was 14-10, and Donnell Wilson caught the winning touchdown pass. How he caught it, no one was quite sure.

The Economics of the NFL BY: TY TAYLOR While growing up in the state of Texas I was introduced to National Football League (NFL) at a very young age. Not only was I obsessed with great players like Emmitt Smith and Michael Irving, I had a more finical appreciation for the lucrativeness associated with the NFL. My young adulthood as well as my teenage years was spent playing and learning football with the aspirations of hopefully making it to the NFL. Unfortunately, my playing days ended with tryouts at Texas Tech University, but my love for the game has remained stagnant over the years even till this day. The NFL today is Americas most watched sports league and has taken the crown as the most lucrative and unique economic force in sports. Forbes offered approximations stating that on average, the NFL generates more than $6-9 billion a year in revenues alone. A third of the individual franchises in the league were appraised at over more than $1 billion while the other franchises average nine figures or higher. The NFL as an organization generates its revenues through a multitude of ways ranging from huge television contracts, in-stadium ticket sales, advertising ads paid for by sponsors and merchandise. Their business model unlike most other leagues, is centered on a hard salary cap on player contracts which provides cost certainty with its sponsors. In this paper, I will examine the economic and historical narrative associated with the growth of the NFL’s
After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Tom Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. In Brady's 13 full seasons as a starter (he missed nearly all of 2008 with a torn ACL),[4][5] the Patriots have earned six trips to
If the PPL were to adopt the NFL draft protocol the PPL would need to protect themselves from antitrust laws. The first thing would be to establish a CBA and constitution that stated all the eligibility rules. The PPL should operate as a single entity league because it is such a new league. We must establish certain protocols that will help us determine the eligibility of our players. I think it is in the best interest of our league to create a minimum age requirement such as the NBA. We will establish that age at twenty. It does not matter how many years the athlete plays in college or when they decide to declare for the draft as long as they are twenty years of age they are eligible for the draft. This will allow us to be protected from lawsuits

Step 1) Settle the case with the players in court and compensate them accordingly The first step on the road to redemption for the Steelers and hopefully soon the entire NFL, is to give back to the players. The Steelers, by making their contributions to the players public, can jumpstart a chain reaction with other teams in the league and they can follow suit to overall make the brutal game of football a safer endeavor. These retired players were once adored by fans and now serve as living legends and are still viewed in an incredibly high stature, so if the Steelers organization tries to push this aside and not give credit and compensation where it is due, it will make the Steelers look cheap and hard-hearted. In order to settle the case the
Throughout the film, Madden introduces a number of conflicting perspectives that only further emphasise the hindrance women faced from becoming “successful in a man’s world.” The foremost conflicting perspective is that of Viola’s versus societal norms, as Viola’s longing to be an actor culminated when she was unable to perform in Shakespeare’s play due to legal obligations that meant only men could appear on stage as actors. Madden blatantly emphasises this through the use of Viola’s nurse stating “Playhouses are not for well-born ladies,” thereby explicitly reinforcing the inequitable level of gender inequality in the 15th century. Furthermore, another conflicting perspective is that of Viola’s father, Sir Robert De Lesseps, versus Viola,
