What is the point of a signing bonus in the NFL?

Posted by Cedric Gamble 0 Comments

The point of a signing bonus in the NFL is to entice potential players to sign with a specific team. It's a lump sum of money given upfront as part of a player's contract, usually in addition to their annual salary. Not only does a signing bonus sweeten the deal for players, but it also provides some financial security as it's guaranteed, even if the player gets injured or cut from the team. However, it's important to note that it increases the team's salary cap. To me, it's a strategic move, balancing player attraction with financial implications.

You may be surprised to know that Walt Disney, a household name for enchanting animations, has also dipped its toes into the world of sports. They've owned two major sports teams over the years. The first is the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, an NHL team Disney owned from 1993 to 2005. The second is the Anaheim Angels, a Major League Baseball team which Disney owned from 1996 to 2003. So, while Disney is best known for its movies and theme parks, it's also had a significant, though lesser-known, impact on the sports world.

Why do many sports have 11 players on a team?

Posted by Cedric Gamble 0 Comments

In my recent exploration, I delved into why many sports have 11 players on a team. This tradition primarily stems from the popular sport of football (soccer), which set its team size to 11 in the 19th century. The number was chosen based on the number of players that could fit on the field while maintaining a balanced and strategic game. Other sports like cricket also adopted this number to foster a similar balance. Interestingly, this isn't a universal rule, as team sizes can vary significantly depending on the sport.
