    Journal of Sport Administration & Supervision RESEARCH THAT MATTERS! THE RELATIONSHIP OF FANTASY FOOTBALL PARTICIPATION WITH NFL TELEVISION RATINGS John A. Fortunato, Ph. D. Fordham University School of Business, Area of Communication & Media Management 113 West 60th Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10023 Mail to: [email protected] (212) 636-6161 Research Problem The purpose of this study is to examine whether fantasy football participation can serve as an additional motivating factor for fans to watch National Football League (NFL) games on television. This research uses the prime-time games on NBC and ESPN from the 2009 NFL season and reveals some evidence that there is a relationship between NFL players starting in a high percentage of fantasy leagues for that particular week and the television rating for that particular game. Games with more NFL players starting in a high percentage of fans’ fantasy football leagues do have a positive relationship with that game’s television rating in certain circumstances. This study attempts to address two concerns of scholars: the continued study of audience motivations for mass media use and the need for a more extensive examination into the influence of fantasy sports. From a practitioner perspective, this research is useful to networks and leagues in better understanding the influence of fantasy sports as well as assisting in creating the game programming schedule. Issue An estimated 30 million people participate in fantasy football leagues and according to Nielsen Media Research more than 1.2 billion minutes were spent on fantasy websites in 2008, yet little academic research has been conducted on this topic.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL?
