  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Under Armour and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady Form Multi-Year Partnership
    Under Armour and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady Form Multi-Year Partnership Signing of Future Hall of Fame Quarterback Elevates Under Armour's NFL Roster, Re-asserts Brand's Dominance in Football Baltimore, MD (November 8, 2010) - Under Armour (NYSE:UA), the Baltimore, MD-based leader in sports performance apparel, footwear and accessories, announced today a multi-year partnership with three-time Super Bowl champion and NFL Most Valuable Player, Tom Brady. The owner of multiple NFL records and one of the winningest quarterbacks of all time, Brady is the highest profile team sport athlete to join the Under Armour family. As the newest member of the Under Armour team, Brady will appear in various in-store and advertising promotional campaigns. Brady bolsters a formidable offensive line-up for Under Armour, who also reached agreements earlier this season with Pro-Bowl wide receivers Miles Austin and Anquan Boldin. Brady will be wearing Under Armour apparel and footwear for training and will also be debuting a new customized Under Armour Fierce cleat in games in the near future. "Tom Brady represents a lot of what Under Armour is all about," said Kevin Plank, Founder and CEO, Under Armour. "He's humble and hungry and continues to be focused on winning and getting better every single day. We're proud to have him in our brand as he continues to re-write the NFL record books." A two-year starter at the University of Michigan, Brady was overlooked by most NFL teams before the New England Patriots claimed him with the 199th selection of the 2000 NFL Draft.

  • The National Collegiate Athletic Association Cartel: Why It Exists, How It Works, and What It Does
    Author's personal copy Rev Ind Organ DOI 10.1007/s11151-017-9590-z The National Collegiate Athletic Association Cartel: Why it Exists, How it Works, and What it Does 1,2,3 1,2,3 Allen R. Sanderson • John J. Siegfried Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2017 Abstract In this essay we consider why American colleges and universities par- ticipate in big-time commercialized intercollegiate sports, and how sports came to play such a prominent role on American college and university campuses. We also review how the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) developed as a body to regulate player safety and transformed itself into an economic regulator, the means by which the NCAA attempts to maintain its control, increase revenues, and reduce costs for college sports programs. We also examine how the organization succeeds in the face of institutional characteristics that imply that its cartel activities would be doomed. Finally, we speculate on what changes might be on the horizon for the NCAA and college athletics. Keywords Cartel Á Market power Á National Collegiate Athletic Association The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. George Orwell, 1984 & John J.

I mean, going back to New England, thanking the Kraft family for giving me that first opportunity, thanking [New England Patriots head coach Bill] coach Belichick for believing in me from the start. Things have really worked out. So, just thrilled to be here right now.” General Manager John Lynch: “I think Kyle will tell you a great quality of a quarterback, taking charge. I thought I was starting, but hey have at it Jimmy. Welcome to everybody and most of all we want to welcome Jimmy Garoppolo. An unbelievable opportunity came our way in the midst of what's really been a tough season. Where we are right now, you know, it's not fun, but Kyle and I, and I think everybody in the building, feels positive things. I can tell you that what happened this weekend felt a lot better after yesterday. Is that going to fix all our ills? Absolutely not. But, we had an opportunity to get better as an organization. We took advantage of that. Could not be more excited to have Jimmy with us. We think we improved our football team at a very important position, and we're just very, very excited to get going.

  • A Tight Race for More Valuable Pitchman - the Boston Globe
    A tight race for More Valuable Pitchman - The Boston Globe http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/01/19/a_tight_race_... THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING A tight race for More Valuable Pitchman By Keith Reed, Globe Staff | January 19, 2007 You're more likely to see Peyton Manning than Tom Brady in a commercial when their teams vie for the American Football Conference title on Sunday, but that may not mean that Peyton is running away with the National Football League's endorsement title. Manning, star quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, is by far a more prolific pitchman than local hero Brady. But Brady, who is not that far behind Manning in terms of endorsement dollars, just may be a lot more efficient. Manning raked in $11.5 million from endorsements in 2006, hawking everything from Sprint cellphones to shopping at Tweeter stores. By comparison, Brady pulled in $9 million from endorsements, according to the latest ranking by Sports Illustrated. Beyond that, the two both got high marks from the public in a survey in which participants were asked to attribute positive and negative adjectives to celebrities. "On paper, those guys are very bankable. All the negatives are really down, all the positives are up," said Gerry Philpott , chief executive of E-Poll Market Research , which produced the study. Forty-six percent of adults said they recognize Manning by name and 31 percent by face, according to E-Poll, compared with 27 percent name recognition and 26 percent face recognition for Brady. Forty-one percent called Brady "handsome" compared with 18 percent for Manning.

    General Manager John Lynch 2018 NFL Scouting Combine Press Conference – March 1, 2018 San Francisco 49ers Listen to Audio I Media Center What’s it like coming here with a quarterback? “It’s pretty good. I remember very much, I was just thinking about it over here, last year that was a primary focus, finding our guy. It was one of the first things after [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] and I got together, we talked about the culture we want to set and all that, but I think we both agreed you have to find that guy at that position. It’s of such premium importance. It didn’t happen in the Draft process last year, but some fortuitous things kind of broke our way during the season. I really commend Kyle for his patience once we got [QB] Jimmy [Garoppolo] and allowing him to take time to learn his system the best he could. Everybody was saying, ‘play him, hey you traded for him, let’s play him.’ He made sure that he was at a spot where we were setting him up for success and then he went in and as we like to say he balled out, he played really well and he made our team better. Then it became a focus let’s get him locked up. I think it was a deal that worked out for everyone. We’re very appreciative to Jimmy and [sports agent] Don Yee and his team that we were able to do it so swiftly. I think that’s a huge bonus for us that we have him locked up going into free agency.

  • Why the Broncos Would Be Foolish to Trade for Arizona Quarterback Josh Rosen by Mark Kiszla Denver Post April 7, 2019
    Kickin’ it with Kiz: Why the Broncos would be foolish to trade for Arizona quarterback Josh Rosen By Mark Kiszla Denver Post April 7, 2019 It’s time for a grown-up move. The Broncos need to rip off the Band-Aid and trade their first-round draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Rosen, who probably would be the second quarterback taken in this year’s draft. His salary cap hit is less than $6 million per year for the next three seasons, and John Elway can spend his money on new coach Vic Fangio’s defense. Ryan, doesn’t like Joe Flacco Kiz: OK, let’s hold a blind test. Quarterback A completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 6.2 yards per attempt and a QB rating of 76.7. Quarterback B completed 55.2 percent of his passes for 5.8 yards per attempt and a QB rating of 66.7. Quarterback A? Paxton Lynch with the Broncos. Quarterback B? Rosen with the Cards. You sure he’s the answer for Denver? Wouldn’t it be something if the Avs won the Stanley Cup and the Nuggets won the NBA championship in the same year? Peter, fly-fisherman Kiz: Wouldn’t it be something if the Avs and the Nuggets both won a playoff series in the same year? That hasn’t happened since … well, come to think of it … we’ve never seen it happen. One and done for the Nuggets. I’ve lost all confidence they will get past the first round.
