Law 43: Protect the Touchable Untouchable

“You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another – intensity defeats extensity every time.”
– Robert Greene, “The 48 Laws of Power”.
Human Nature has shown that the more rare, expensive or unattainable something is, the more desirable it becomes. Consumers might not consider purchasing a BMW if it were priced similar to a KIA, the essence of luxury is directly linked to the cost to obtain it. Price will dictate quality, therefore the less you dangle your highest point producers the more other owners will covet them. Fantasy foes will often inquire about your best players, offering you trade packages in efforts to swoon away your earliest

A staunch defense may be proficient at making 3rd down stops and preventing Touchdowns on every drive. While the cumulative offensive production as a team may nose dive when playing against prolific defenses, yet individual stats for elite players tend to stay within their normal bounds. Your third string Running Back may lose out carries, but don’t expect a top 5 wide receiver to go home with a goose egg in the stats column. Reliability is always at a premium, never settle for anything less than a kings ransom for your elite …show more content…
You may notice that, many owners will be overprotective of their first round picks, regardless of how much value they are offered in return. These owners cannot fathom moving their prized possessions even when the offer is well above a reasonable asking price. You are not the foolish owner who would decline trading LeSean McCoy and Emanuel Sanders for Marshawn Lynch, Eric Decker and Odell Beckham Jr. However, you should be the type of owner who will not hesitate to counter a fair trade offer to see if they will up the ante even

    Last Sunday the Buccaneers secondary just got destroyed by Case Keenum. Honestly, if I didn't know it was the Kennum playing I would have thought Peyton Manning came out of retirement to play in this game. Keenum threw for 369 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Vikings just picked apart Ryan Smith and Vernon Hargreaves all game. On the first drive, Adam Thielen just straight beat Vernon on a double move for 45-yards.…

    Kirk Cousins – Cousins to this point, is financially set either way, whether he leaves or stays. However to knock some of the main criticisms surrounding the quarterback, Cousins must prove that not only did the Redskins make the right decision not breaking the bank to pay Desean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, they will make the right decision paying him once proving he can elevate the play of a younger and inexperienced Redskins receiving core. So Cousins situation is more so proving he’s better than 2016, and better than the great weapons he was afforded his first two years as a starter. 3. Terrelle Pryor Sr. –…

    “We’ve never lost an American in space and we’re sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is not an option!” Said by Gene Kranz on the movi Apollo 13, the ‘Failure is not an option’ phrase has been used by various action movies as a cliché which shows authority and badassery. Every character on this kind of movie says that failing on their specific job (or mission, if you really want to be that badass) is not what they are expecting. Fail this mission and you don’t exist on our lives, that’s it.…

    In a lot of ways the Browns have already started to do this. They are starting to trade down from high positions in the draft to acquire more draft picks, and draft players that are less risky. A good example of this is the trade they did with the Eagles last year where the Browns traded down from their second pick in the draft to acquire five picks(Sheridan). Perhaps the most recent example of a team drafting safe and becoming successful because of it would the Oakland Raiders. In 2014 there were a ton of great Quarterbacks coming out of college, instead of trading up to grab one of the Quarterbacks that was projected to go in the first round, they stayed put in the second round and drafted Derek Carr(Gutierrez).…

    Going into the 2016 season, the Dallas Cowboys look like the NFL’s team to beat. Personally, I have to give Jerry Jones all the credit for now his team is assembled. On offense, the Cowboys have gone with the approach that less is more on the offensive line. As we all know, teams with excellent offensive lines have a long history of losing. The 2007 Patriots were the perfect example of a team that had three Pro Bowl offensive linemen but somehow struggled to score points.…

    I attended this co-curricular which presented Steve Trussel who is part of the Arizona Mining Association and the Arizona Rock Products Association. At the beginning of his speech, he gave a background of his life and experiences which included taking risks, setting goals and never giving up. He mentioned that it takes perseverance and determination to accomplish your goals. Many young females who are part of the mining industry have worked very hard to be where they are at and because of that they are now making money while having their dream job. Many people think that the mining industry is one that encompasses many men, and it does but many females are part of that industry too.…

    If the entrepreneur doesn’t have property rights to turn an asset into something else of more value or the ability to partner with another property owner the entrepreneur is limited to the valuation of the original asset. There is not an incentive to create something greater to benefit other members of the market and themselves. In Rob Harmon’s video, water is fungible because it is tangible, but more importantly people had rights to it. Those people could use that resource as capital to turn it into something more than just water.…

    Essay On Fantasy Football

    Before playing any 50/50 games you might want to just sit and watch football all day sunday to get familiar with the game. Look for the little things that might impact fantasy stats, like how much garbage time there is, instead of just looking at the score of the game. Remember when building your lineup start with your receivers first, then pick your running backs, quarterback,tight end and defense. Following these guidelines is a start to success, but in order to have continued success over long periods of time you have to learn how to interpret the numbers. You have to find that one telling stat each week that no one else is looking at and put it to the test.…

    Richard Rodriguez, in the chapter in which the quote can be found, titled "Aria", writes repeatedly about the importance of intimacy with public and private language. Rodriguez mentions that intimacy can only be achieved in his life through the one language that he feels as if was a sort of secret one, Spanish. In my opinion, this quote bounces off a highly profound meaning. The reason why I say this is because I find it majorly interesting, the way that Richard Rodriguez sees the opinion of other people about mixing public life with private language; in other words using the language that transmits intimacy in a public place surrounded by people who speak other language that does not transmit anything close to intimacy. I find myself to be…

    Also if a player gets hurt they just may say “oooh” and forget about it and go back to the game. What they really look for is how high they can jump, or how they faked someone out while they were running. People feel that the dangers in football are worth paying for if they love the sport that much and they already know what comes with it. When the NFL seeks players for the draft, “putting personal safety first isn’t so easy. And that’s a price they’re willing to pay”(Clarke, 2016).…

    MLB Salary Cap Analysis

    To help achieve a better understanding of how comparable professional athletes are in their respective sports, looking at the top 100 earners in each sport will help. The MLB dominates other sports in average salary for the top 100 earners with 16.4 million dollars. Although the MLB has the highest average salary for the top 100 earners in the sport, they are being undervalued. “On average, teams are undervaluing players by 357,836.64” (Pearce). Since athletes in baseball seem to make the most on average, franchises can get away with not paying an athlete what they are actually worth.…
