The Palm Beach Post/Zuma Press In April, in the fifth round of the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Caleb Sturgis, a kicker from Florida. He signed with the team for an annual salary of $406,000. To the larger world, this was a routine and uneventful transaction. But in interviews with current and former NFL players, player agents and team executives familiar with the inner workings of the Dolphins, the news hit team members like a bomb.

A GM is generally responsible for the overall control and direction of the organization, including, perhaps most importantly, the success of the team on the field, court or rink. Perhaps the keen interest in being a GM is best ex- emplified through fantasy sports. Fantasy sports enable the fantasy team’s owner to control an organization and select its players in the hopes of winning a championship.

TigerWoods………………………………………………………….....14 II. Dez Bryant…………...…………..………………………….………....28 III.Barry Bonds…………..……..…………………………………………41 Conclusion………………………...…………………………………………..65 Works Cited…………………………………………………………………..68 INTRODUCTION As an avid sports fan, I can eternally remember the glorious moments that my favorite sports teams have produced over my lifetime. The less fortunate instances when they have come up short are also memorable for the frustration and pain they cause. After any victory by my preferred franchises, I was eager to watch their highlights on Sportscenter and then read the box scores and recaps in the newspaper or an online sports site. When they lost, I tried to avoid hearing about it and having the information about their shortcomings be repeated over and over became a burden to be managed until the next game or next season. Regardless of the outcomes, sports media, in my eyes, was entertaining and fun because it only involved sport. It provided short relief from the often disheartening news stories that reminded me that the world is plagued by many problems. For a long time, the ostensible purity of sports media, the focus on what happens in between the lines, and its entertainment value provided me with much comfort and delight. Sports seemed for me to exist in a vacuum of sorts; during the four quarters of basketball game or the nine innings of a baseball game I could take a momentary break from reality.
