I represent athletes, but first and foremost, I consider myself an Educator.  They really run hand-in-hand, though.  I make sure to provide all of my clients up-to-date, relevant information that will help them succeed in life.  I do the same for athletes who are not yet my clients, but whom I may be advising before […]

WEC = UFC?

This past Saturday, World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) staged their first pay-per-view event, live from Sacramento, California. The event was a huge success given the fact that the last few weeks had seen disappointing main events put on by the UFC, and all out chaos by Strikeforce on national television.

Scott Sicko Signs With Cowboys

Perhaps my twisted joke should be laid to rest.  Scott Sicko, formerly known as the tight-end who passed up the opportunity to play professional football due to the fact that he did not want to play if he went undrafted, has now had a change of heart.  An agent at National Sports Management has informed […]

Rookie Duties: So That’s Why I Went to Law School

Every so often the question comes up on SportsAgentBlog.com asking whether or not getting a law degree is really necessary to be an agent. The technical answer is “no” – no professional leagues require that agents have a law degree. Some leagues, like the NFL, call for prospective contract advisors to meet additional requirements if […]

Sick Story For The Agents Who Rep Scott Sicko

The only joke I will make about this story is based on the player’s last name – It really makes me sick-o. Unless you work at Creative Artists Agency, Maximum Sports, BEST, Athletes First, Rosenhaus Sports, or Priority Sports (I am probably missing a few at this level), not a day goes by that you […]

On To The Next One: Dwight Howard

With a 3-0 lead over the Charlotte Bobcats in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, one would think that the only thing on Dwight Howard‘s mind right now is finishing up the series with a sweep and moving on to the next opponent.  Instead, it seems like he has some other big things on […]
