First off, I want to wish all our veterans and active members of the armed services a very happy Memorial Day. We often take the freedoms that we have as Americans for granted, and all those responsible for providing us with the rights that we now have deserve to be thanked for all the sacrifices […]

I am ready for a new phone. I don’t think I hate anything or anyone as much as I hate the hourglass on my Blackberry Curve. The damn icon is the death of me. I have to take out the battery at least five times per day. But not for much longer. Yesterday, I went […]
After a brilliant legal victory last year by attorneys at Winston & Strawn LLP against Zavala and Hoopology.com, Chris Bosh’s nickname went from “CB4” to “cyber-hero” to many loyal fans and those in the Internet community. If you do not remember the lawsuit or the previous post on SportsAgentBlog.com, here is a quick review. On […]
In his last 5 starts for the Class-A West Virginia Power, Kyle McPherson has 39 strikeouts and only walked 3 batters. The Pirates are known for placing strict pitch counts on their players in the farm system, yet McPherson has gone 7 innings in 2 of his last 5 starts. That said, his K/IP ratio […]
On May 4, the Chicago Bulls fired coach Vinny Del Negro. Yesterday, the Cleveland Cavaliers fired coach Mike Brown.

This is a voluntary workout program run by MMAthletics, a company founded by FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer and UFC legend Randy Couture. As the popularity of the UFC and […]
It was covered all over the sports journalism landscape yesterday – The NFL lost its case in American Needle, Inc. v. National Football League. It wasn’t just a loss, it was a unanimous loss (9-0). The basic holding is that the NFL is not recognized as a single-entity. Instead, for antitrust purposes, it is made […]
With just over a month until the 2010 NHL Draft, things around my office are starting to pick back up big time. To be honest, I can’t believe the Draft is only 31 days away. My week began with a Monday afternoon lunch meeting with the coaching staff of the Chicago Steel. They wanted to […]
Let’s stay on the theme of the MLB Draft for now. After all, it is only two weeks away! One team that should be on every advisor’s mind (if he is advising a player with early round talent), is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have 10 picks in the first 4 rounds, including […]
