Saavedra is the winner of the Dave Boss Award of Excellence for his entry in the 48th Annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Photo Contest. His photo titled “Great Catch," was selected by a panel of judges as the Photograph of the Year for the 2015 National Football League Season. The image depicts New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman as he dives into the end zone for a touchdown while airborne Buffalo Bills safety Aaron Williams attempts a tackle in the third quarter at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015. Saavedra, an Associate Photo Editor with Sports Illustrated since 2000, delved further into the world of photography just five years ago when he began shooting golf and football. His love for sports started as a kid playing soccer on the streets in his native Ecuador before he moved to New York City, where he combined his love of sport with photography. The Hall of Fame’s prestigious contest is open to professional photographers on assignment to cover NFL games. Photos taken during the 2015 NFL season, that included Super Bowl 50 and the 2016 Pro Bowl, were eligible. Saavedra’s entry was the first place winner in the action category while Getty Images photographer PatriCk Smith was first in the Feature category. His photo “Flying COMMITMENT • INTEGRITY • COURAGE • RESPECT • EXCELLENCE Through Smoke” shows Washington Redskins safety Jeron Johnson and teammates running through a mosaic of smoke, light, and shadow as they are introduced before playing the New Orleans Saints at FedEx Field on Nov. 15, 2015. Judging was conducted at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in early April by a panel of prominent photo editors and photographers. The judges included John Reid, III (Team Photographer for the Cleveland Browns), Ben Liebenberg (Lead Photographer and Senior Photo Editor at the NFL), Karl Roser (Team Photographer for the Pittsburgh Steelers), Brad Smith (Director, Brad Smith Creative) and Tony Tomsic, (veteran photographer who has covered pro football for more than 50 years). Saavedra will be officially honored at the Enshrinees GameDay Roundtable, part of the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week that centers on the enshrinement of the Class of 2016 – Edward J.

    AFC NOTES FOR USE AS DESIRED FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, 10/27/15 CONTACT: JON ZIMMER http://twitter.com/NFL345 UNDEFEATED BENGALS AIM FOR FIRST EVER 7-0 START The Cincinnati Bengals have reached 6-0 for the third time in franchise history and first time since their 1988 AFC Championship season, when the team advanced to Super Bowl XXIII. “We have a lot of good players maturing at the same time,” says tackle ANDREW WHITWORTH. “There’s still a long way to go, but I think that’s showing.” As the 2015 NFL season approaches the midpoint, Cincinnati is one of five remaining undefeated NFL teams this season and can become the first Bengals team to reach 7-0 in the history of the franchise. Cincinnati is the only AFC North team to begin a season 6-0 since realignment in 2002. The three seasons in which the Bengals started 6-0: YEAR UNDEFEATED START FINAL RECORD SEASON RESULT 1975 6-0 11-3 Advanced to Divisional Playoffs 1988 6-0 12-4 Advanced to Super Bowl XXIII 2015 6-0* ?? ?? *Through six games Coming off their bye in Week 7, the Bengals will take the short trip to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers in a crucial AFC North Division matchup. Quarterback ANDY DALTON has played a pivotal role in the Bengals’ undefeated start, displaying an ability to perform under pressure at home and on the road, regardless of the score. In Week 3, he threw two go-ahead touchdown passes in the fourth quarter on the road in Baltimore, including the game- winning seven-yarder to wide receiver A.J.

  • Team Payroll Versus Performance in Professional Sports: Is Increased Spending Associated with Greater Success?
    Team Payroll Versus Performance in Professional Sports: Is Increased Spending Associated with Greater Success? Grant Shorin Professor Peter S. Arcidiacono, Faculty Advisor Professor Kent P. Kimbrough, Seminar Advisor Duke University Durham, North Carolina 2017 Grant graduated with High Distinction in Economics and a minor in Statistical Science in May 2017. Following graduation, he will be working in San Francisco as an Analyst at Altman Vilandrie & Company, a strategy consulting group that focuses on the telecom, media, and technology sectors. He can be contacted at [email protected]. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Peter Arcidiacono, for his valuable guidance. I would also like to acknowledge my honors seminar instructor, Kent Kimbrough, for his continued support and feedback. Lastly, I would like to recognize my honors seminar classmates for their helpful comments throughout the year. 2 Abstract Professional sports are a billion-dollar industry, with player salaries accounting for the largest expenditure. Comparing results between the four major North American leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, and NFL) and examining data from 1995 through 2015, this paper seeks to answer the following question: do teams that have higher payrolls achieve greater success, as measured by their regular season, postseason, and financial performance? Multiple data visualizations highlight unique relationships across the three dimensions and between each sport, while subsequent empirical analysis supports these findings. After standardizing payroll values and using a fixed effects model to control for team-specific factors, this paper finds that higher payroll spending is associated with an increase in regular season winning percentage in all sports (but is less meaningful in the NFL), a substantial rise in the likelihood of winning the championship in the NBA and NHL, and a lower operating income in all sports.

The Arizona Cardinals contributed $109 million. The Cardinals purchased the land for the stadium for $18.5 million. Facility Website Twitter: @UOPXStadium UPDATE: University of Phoenix Stadium hosted Super Bowl XLIII and the Pro Bowl for the 2014 season. A study completed by the Seidman Research Institute and Arizona State University determined the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl produced a gross economic impact of $719.4 million in the region. The economic impact is an increase of 30.8% (adjusted for inflation) over Super Bowl XLII hosted at the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2008. On June 16, 2014, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled the rental-car tax, as part of the funding scheme for the University of Phoenix Stadium, unconstitutional because the Arizona State Constitution requires the tax to be spent on highway-related uses. The Arizona Sports and Tourism © Copyright 2015, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 Authority could lose at least $12 million in revenue to pay for the stadium.
