People love Top 10 lists. Not sure why, but I see them sprout up across all industries. Anyway, AskMen.com recently put together a Top 10 list for sports agents. I am not exactly sure what criteria the site used to pick their winners, but at least they referenced SportsAgentBlog.com as a source. Anyway, here is […]
I was born in Florida, raised in Florida, earned a Bachelors of Arts degree at the University of Florida, and I am going into my third and final year of law school at the University of Florida. There are many reasons for my choosing to go to UF for law school, one of which being […]
At around 5 p.m. yesterday, I got a call from one of Dynasty‘s baseball agents, Bryan Swalley, asking me to be a guest on a West Virginia based sports radio show. The interview was to be conducted an hour from receiving the notice. Next time, give me some advance notice, Swalls! Anyway, I am happy […]
If you watched any portion of the NFL Draft, you undoubtedly caught the new commercial on ESPN featuring Drew Rosenhaus. Tom Jones of the St. Pete Times likes the commercial, but thinks that there is a blatant conflict of interest in having Rosenhaus on a commercial that was paid for by ESPN and really endorses […]
The Boston Celtics are getting a run for their money in the first round of this year’s NBA Playoffs. They should have learned to take their first round opponents seriously after barely beating the Hawks in the first round last year.

Priority Sports just had a very successful NFL Draft, but the company also has an extremely strong basketball division. One of its top basketball agents is Brad Ames, who along with Mark Bartelstein and Aaron Mintz represent players worth more than $300 million altogether in money remaining on their contracts. Ames is the primary agent […]
CAA clients Matthew Stafford, Jason Smith, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Knowshon Moreno, Brian Orakpo, Malcolm Jenkins, Brian Cushing, Josh Freeman, and Jeremy Maclin were selected in the first round. CAA’s nine first round selections beat their 2008 record of six clients picked up in the first-round. Most impressive about the nine CAA draft picks this year is […]
Gary Glick of Synergy Sports, Inc. (not to be confused with Synergy Sports International) has a nice Q&A segment called Sports Agent Corner at the website Midwest Sports Fans. It’s a short read, so I suggest you check it out by clicking the link to the Sports Agent Corner above. Most insightful is the last […]
This weekend, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) has a shot at having 11 of its clients selected in the first-round of the NFL Draft. There are only 32 picks in the first-round. CAA’s dominance in football is downright scary, but the company also has a very strong presence in other major American sports. Their basketball division […]
