NFL Team Case Study
In the inaugural episode of Undisputed Skip Bayles made an interesting point. Every year Jeff Fisher beats a random divisional opponent. This lone victory somehow justifies him remaining an NFL coach. The LA Rams recent defeat of the Seattle Seahawks continued the trend.

Last Sunday the Seahawks lost to the Rams. The former Super Bowl champs lost by six points. Their lone score was the result of a 23 yard field goal. The Hawks 2016 season isn't over yet. But they need to turn around things in a hurry if they want to survive.

Seattle's next three opponents have a combined 3-3 record. Which on paper doesn't sound scary. However according cheatsheet.com the worst team to ever win a super bowl was the 2011 Giants. That year NY lost seven regular …show more content…
Seattle has proven that they can consistently set the bar high. Aiming for anything else would be a disgrace to the Hawks brand. Depending on a low number of wins to reach the playoffs isn't only a gamble and a joke. Its not even to tolerable

We are only two weeks into the NFL season. So far the NFC west division is terrible. Two of the next three Seahawks games are at the Clink. The ceiling isn't falling you say. You argue that the sky isn't falling. You say being defeated by the Rams last night wasn't even speed bump.

Last nights loss wasn't even a speedbump or a blip. It was a loss that will haunt the team for the rest of the season. A statement that most of you will disagree with. It was and should be an awakening call. This loss should be the defining moment in the 2016-17 Sehawks season. The moment that they rallied around. The moment that propelled their launch in to the Super Bowl.

In 2014 the Seattle Seahawks ended Seattle's men's sports curse. That important victory increased the teams pressure to win. Their Super bowl loss was a fluke. They should've beat the Patriots. Luckily for Pacific Northwest sports fans the team is young. Many of the teams playmakers have a long career ahead of

    HMA Ethics

    Health Management Associates is a Naples-based for-profit hospital chain that owns 71 hospitals, 23 of which are in Florida (newspress). There have been many whistleblowers within the company that have brought allegations against HMA for focusing on the profits of the company over the proper medical attention of patients. In August 2013, the major shareholder of HMA, Glenview Capital Management LLC, with about 9.6% of stocks lead to the complete removal of the board of directors. There is currently a merger occurring in which HMA will go under another for-profit hospital chain company called Community Health Systems which will form the second largest for-profit hospital chain by revenue (nytimes). Glenview also pushed for this (fierce). The Department of Justice is backing many of those who have reported claims through qui tam cases. The CEO, Gary D. Newsome, left the company a few months ago to lead a mission trip, but is currently part of the cases as well. Several of the lawsuits point to Newsome as the inventor of the strategy used to raise admissions to emergency rooms (nytimes). The idea here is that the company gives incentives to the doctors to admit more patients to the emergency room to meet a quota. There are reports of the company using a software called Pro Med to keep scorecards for the doctors. The goal is to admit at least half of the patients over 65 that visit, the scorecards have the doctors highlighted in different colors: green for on target, yellow for those who were close, and red for doctors that were failing. Jacqueline Myers, a worker for the company that hires the doctors used by HMA, reported that she received the order to fire the doctors and red, but said no followed by being fired (nytimes). A CFO in a Georgia branch of HMA did a separate investigation of the admission rates and found them to be higher compared to other hospitals.…

    Is the Nfl Rule Book Too Strict?

    When football first started as a sport, teams were being built around a tough, solid defense that would take pride in hitting players so hard that the ball would get pried loose causing a turnover. Now teams are forgetting about the hard hitting players and are drafting all-star receivers and deep throwing quarterbacks. Part of this is because of the media and part of it is because of the rulebook (Easterbrook). More and more people are starting to watch the NFL and because of that organizations are starting to care more about their fans…

    Texans football is officially back and now we get a chance to see all of the shiny new weapons they picked up this offseason. As they prepare to take the field for the first regular season game this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, I can’t help but be anxious about the wide receiver position.

    Chicago Bears Super Bowl Victory

    The 1985 Bears super bowl champion team really proves what hard work and dedication can lead to. This win obviously meant a lot to the many men on the field, and for the entire Chicago bears fan base. Coach Ditka put together an almost unstoppable offensive attack and their defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan made their defense arguably the best defense of all time. Proving how much impact the right coaching can have on a team, and also how the Bears could not have won without this superb coaching. Lastly, the struggle, and perseverance it takes to become one of the best teams of all time is unreal. Through the battles of the season the team became stronger and came out on top like true…

    Organizational Behavior in the Nfl

    Sports are an intimate part of many people’s lives. Without it, many of us would not share certain relationships or bonds with people who like it as much as we do. Football is indeed my favorite sport to watch. From the touchdown dances to seeing a favorite player break a record, football is intense, exciting, and amusing to watch. Football teams can define the character of certain regions and places (Sports and Recreation, 2004). In good old Minnesota, we “bleed purple” and love our Minnesota Vikings. Although the Vikings have never won the Super Bowl, we still love them regardless because of their hard work and dedication to the sport and to the fans. The whole organization behaves in a manner that keeps the fans coming back for more, as do other National Football League teams around the United States. The National Football League and its teams need to have spot-on organizational skills. If there is not proper organizational…

    Every fall a majority of Americans count down the days to the start of every NFL season. It is the time of the year when people look forward to traveling to their favorite team’s stadium, or powering up the big screen to watch the game. The NFL provides an outlet every Sunday for people to relax and enjoy exciting entertainment. Everyone looks forward. So many people have invested themselves into their favorite team by purchasing season tickets, sporting countless items of team gear, devoting many hours to fantasy football, and gambling. It is no secret the level of impact that the NFL has on so many people of all ages and genders. The NFL does a great job marketing their product and brand to everyone across the United States. I personally look forward to see how my Bengals will fair every season. As every season passes, I become more and more encompassed with the National Football League. I find myself becoming more attached to every storyline throughout the entire year. I become more involved with the draft process, the training camp headlines, and free agent acquisitions. The sixteen game NFL schedule doesn’t quench my thirst, and I find myself wishing for more when the season comes to an end. Although the NFL produces a great product every Sunday afternoon, are they taking the necessary steps to protect and assist the people that make it all possible?…

    Unlike the Commish, who was revealed to have this fear (the NFL and Goodell both disputed the assertion) in a recent profile in ESPN The Magazine, there is nothing figurative about my bad dream. It attacks my sleep periodically, usually in the summer rather than during football season, as if my subconscious is reminding me just how much the NFL means to me.…
