  • The Chicago Bears Chose Devin Hester with the 57Th Pick in the 2006 Draft,Nike Nfl Uniforms 2012, and They Got a Steal
    The Chicago Bears chose Devin Hester with the 57th pick in the 2006 draft,nike nfl uniforms 2012, and they got a steal. Hester is the best kick returner in the league,new nfl nike jerseys, and he has a chance to go down in history as the best kick returner ever. Every N.F.L. team would love to pick this year’s version of Devin Hester. But does this draft have a Devin Hester? One surprisingly bold player is willing to say it does, and he’s it: Troy cornerback Leodis McKelvin. The Vikings clearly were unconcerned about the risks of a huge second contract for a superstar running back. We discussed that issue this summer,nfl jersey monster,leaked nike nfl jerseys, noting the relatively short career spans for running backs and the recent examples of big-time runners whose production dipped dramatically after signing their second contracts. Peterson has tallied 1,334 touches in his career,womens football jerseys, including kickoff returns, but has missed only three of a possible 64 games and has had no off-field issues that would compromise his eligibility to play with the league. Most NFL observers consider Peterson and the Tennessee Titans' Chris Johnson as the co-best running backs in the league,football jersey creator, but Peterson's deal exceeds the one Johnson signed last month. Johnson's extension averaged $13.3 million in new money and included $30 million in guarantees. Peterson's will average nearly $15 million per season in new money over the life of the deal,make your own college football jersey, in addition to the $36 million guaranteed.

    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.
