ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • NFL Draft 2016 Scouting Report: RB Darius Jackson, E. Michigan
    2016 NFL DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT APRIL 10, 2016 NFL Draft 2016 Scouting Report: RB Darius Jackson, E. Michigan *Our RB grades can and will change as more information comes in from Pro Day workouts, leaked Wonderlic test results, etc. We will update ratings as new info becomes available. *We use the term “Power RB” to separate physically bigger, more between-the-tackles–capable RBs from our “speed RBs” group. “Speed RBs” are physically smaller, but much faster/quicker, and less likely to flourish between the tackles. At his Pro Day, running back Darius Jackson ran a 4.40 40-time with a fantastic 41″ vertical to go along with a high-end 11′1″ broad jump. He also pounded out 20 reps on the bench press, while running terrific agility times in the three-cone drill. All this fantastic pre-draft showing has gotten Jackson is him being mentioned as a 'draft sleeper' for Draftniks, with national websites still asleep on him – ESPN lists him #30 among RB prospects (as of this writing), and not among their top 350 prospects overall. Credit to CBS for moving him to #17 among RB prospects, and #198 overall. All I can think of when I see the nonreaction to his Pro Day – I wonder what would've happened had Darius Jackson been invited to the NFL Combine, and produced these kinds of numbers? The TV commentators would've gone wild, he would've been the talk of the running back class that day, and his draft stock would've likely pushed towards more of a fifth-round status.

OFFENSE: QB KURT WARNER, ARIZONA CARDINALS • It was a triumphant return to St. Louis for former Rams star KURT WARNER as he led the Arizona Cardinals to a 38-28 win at the Edward Jones Dome. Displaying the form that helped him win a pair of Most Valuable Player awards and guide the Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner completed 27 of 39 attempts for 285 yards and three touchdowns, posting a 115.9 passer rating with no interceptions. Warner’s three-touchdown performance was his first since the 2001 season finale and came at an opportune time, helping Arizona snap a three-game losing streak. With the home team nursing a 17-16 fourth quarter lead, Warner connected for a nine-yard touchdown strike to rookie free agent tight end ADAM BERGEN, followed by a two-point conversion to wide receiver ANQUAN BOLDIN for a 24-17 advantage the Cardinals would not surrender.

  • The Look Man Report 2006 Week XX: Ponies, and Bengals, and Bears, Oh My!
    The Look Man Report 2006 Week XX: Ponies, and Bengals, and Bears, Oh My! “We’re not giving away any football players who could hurt us later. I don’t mind people thinking I’m stupid, but I don’t want to give them any proof.“ - Bum Phillips, Houston Oilers coach OPENING OA (Bum) Phillips is the football equivalent of Yogi Berra, and the above quotation could be just as applicable to Chowds head coach Bill Belichick. Dr. Evil narrowly missed a fourth championship after jettisoning LB Willie McGinest, WR Deion Branch and K Adam (Money) Vinatieri. On Sunday, the chickens came home to roost, as Money contributed to an incredible comeback win by the Indianapolis Ponies. As the 2006 NFL season makes its final turn, the Look Man is thrilled to have witnessed some incredible action. The Conference Championships were simply the crowning glory to a season that saw New Orleans rise from the ashes of a 3-13 season to nearly represent the NFC in the Bowl. The Ponies overcame the weight of expectations, becoming this season’s version of the Blitzburgh Stillers down the stretch. Chicago has parlayed a ball-hawking defense and streaky QB into a championship run in the weak NFC. New England nearly reclaimed its championship ways despite an injury depleted defense and a receiver challenged offense. It has been a season for the ages and Sunday did not disappoint. Meanwhile, the rest of the league keeps on turning. Cincinnati had its ninth player arrest of the season. Bill (Tuna) Parcells decided to promote Grecian Formula instead of coaching the melodrama in Allas (no D).
