Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

  • Broncos Combine Notes: Billy Turner Remains on Radar, but Not Antonio Brown by Mike Klis 9NEWS Feb
    Broncos combine notes: Billy Turner remains on radar, but not Antonio Brown By Mike Klis 9NEWS Feb. 26, 2019 As the Broncos contingent led by John Elway convene on Indianapolis this week for the NFL Combine, there will be two orders of business. One, is getting a feel for free agency. Two is scouting and interviewing up to 60 rookie prospects for the upcoming NFL Draft. Elway beat just about all Broncos to Indianapolis as he began NFL competition meetings on Monday. Adding some form of replay to subjective judgment calls like the pass interference missed in the NFC Championship Game was discussed Monday, although it was characterized as a scratch-the-surface informational meeting. Here are some topics of interest for Broncos fans this week: Antonio Brown The Broncos aren’t interested in the Steelers’ controversial receiver. Among the non-starters is Brown wants to renegotiate his current contract that pays him $15.125 million in 2019; $11.3 million in 2020 and $12.5 million in 2021. To pay that kind of money, AND give up a high-round draft pick – AND have to pay even more to keep Brown happy? It doesn’t make sense. The Broncos need another veteran receiver to add to their group that includes Emmanuel Sanders coming off an Achilles injury, Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick. But it won’t be Antonio Brown. John Brown would make more sense. He developed a strong receiver-quarterback relationship with Joe Flacco in Baltimore last season. From what I've been told, the Broncos are not scared off by John Brown’s sickle cell trait, and a source close to Brown says the receiver is not afraid of Denver’s mile-high altitude as a possible home -- provided the team expresses interest.

  • Coaching Staff
    Gopher Football 2008 Coaching Staff [ 105 ] Minnesota Football 2008 Gopher Football 2008 Coaching Staff Tim head coach • seBconrd seeawson ster n just one year as the head football coach at the University of Minnesota, Tim Brewster has combined his unique brand of positive energy with a well-earned reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters to rejuvenate the hopes of Go - I pher Nation. Brewster, who is in his second year at the helm of the program after being named Minnesota’s 26th head football coach on Jan. 17, 2007, has never been afraid to work hard or think big. That was proven out this past February, when Brewster and his staff signed a consensus top-25 recruiting class that some experts even rated among the nation’s top 15. The significance of this accomplishment would be difficult to overstate at one the nation’s traditional recruiting powers let alone at Minnesota, where the average Rivals ranking for the Gophers’ previous six recruiting classes was 54th. The renewed emphasis on recruiting may be the most visible phase of Brewster’s plan to help Minnesota football make history again, but it’s just one building block of a blueprint he developed while helping Mack Brown turn North Carolina from ACC doormat into a national power and rebuild Texas into one of the country’s elite programs. Brewster came to Minnesota after spending the previous five years as an assistant coach in the National Football League, including the 2005 and 2006 seasons as the tight ends coach of the Denver Broncos.
