re: Can we talk about Fears?

I just hope he doesn't stunt the growth of a player like Fears and think that he is or can still be a face of the franchise...

He's dug himself in pretty well, I think I'd root for him more if he went elsewhere and made good for himself...rather than stay in NOLA and use excuses and what could have beens.

Dumars says Zion not getting moved anytime soon.


His value has been de-valued so much....

If you move him you aren't getting the potential return on him anymore... so it will likely end up in the Pels favor to hold him hostage and if he ends up doing anything then, cool it paid off to hold him.

Fears is the Franchise.


If the Front Office understands that, the Pelicans will be successful moving forward.


If they think otherwise with:
-Murray
-Murphy
-Zion
Etc.

Then the Franchise will continue to be what it has been since they changed their name to the Pelicans and be unsuccessful in retaining top tier talent....

Fears will be a top 3 PG in 5 years.

The Saints don't draft a player like Downs.

A player like Downs goes to the Steelers or Ravens and is generational in there archive of generational HOF's

Saints do not draft or mold players like that defensively

Go on snapchat, and use the map...

You can see snaps from that area.... it doesn't look as dramatic as the media makes it out to be.

Yes, there is cargo ships parked but everyone in the area is just living normal life.

re: The Masters Pay Out

The "Tiger Effect" refers to Tiger Woods' unprecedented impact on golf, which revolutionized the sport from the late 1990s by bringing massive viewership, sponsorship, and revenue to the PGA Tour. This popularity surge caused total prize money to skyrocket, directly enriching other players, with an estimated $1.6 billion in additional prize money generated between 1997 and 2008.

How the "Tiger Effect" Boosted Player Earnings:
Massive Prize Money Increases: When Tiger joined the Tour, purses began to grow exponentially. Between 1985 and 2010, tour earnings increased 10 times faster than inflation. In 1996, only nine golfers won over $1 million; by 2013, 82 golfers achieved this, even with moderate performance.

Increased Revenue from Fans/Sponsors: Tiger brought huge TV ratings, leading to better broadcast deals. In his absence, TV ratings for events drop by an estimated 25-30%.

The "Rising Tide" Effect: Tiger raised the bar for popularity, which attracted lucrative sponsorship deals for numerous players, not just himself.
Long-term Financial Impact: An analysis of 176 players found that the Tiger effect added over $867 million in earnings for those golfers between 1997 and 2008.

Key Beneficiaries & Impact:
Individual Earnings: While Tiger earned large amounts, competitors also gained significantly. For instance, top players like Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson saw their earnings surge by an estimated $36 million and $29 million respectively due to this effect.

Broadening the Wealth: The rise in total purse money meant even mid-tier players could make over $1 million in a season (e.g., Brian Stuard) without winning a tournament, simply by making cuts and placing top-ten in a few events.

Industry-Wide Growth: The era saw a massive influx of marketing money, television interest, and increased sponsorships, changing the economic landscape of professional golf forever.

In essence, Tiger Woods made golf popular, fun, and cool, which forced the entire industry to grow, directly causing a significant increase in the financial rewards for all participating players.
