This past Saturday, the slate of college football games included a few conference championship games and a couple of final regular season games. The season is wrapped up for college football programs, the only matches left to play being the bowl games. Plenty of NCAA programs have already begun to look to next year and […]

Put one tally in the win column for ex-NHL agent David Frost. He has just been acquitted in a case involving four sexual exploitation charges (reduced from the twelve I originally reported). He still has to deal with a fraud charge after using a former client’s credit card without permission (yeah…Mike Danton, the guy who […]
Jason Levien – Future Kings Asst GM
By creating SportsAgentBlog.com, I have had the opportunity to network with quite a few agents. I value all of the relationships that have been created very dearly. I especially enjoy when I am able to meet up with my colleagues in person. This past summer, while I was down in Miami promoting the nightlife scene […]
A few days ago, I was a featured guest on Jimmy Scott’s High & Tight. I was blown away by David Philps’ glowing write-up on top of his excellent questions presented to me in the actual interview. Since the post, Philps has tipped me to a recent dialogue that he had with former professional baseball […]

In two hours, you may have the opportunity to have one of your questions answered by baseball agent, Scott Boras. Up until 11:00 a.m. EST, USATODAY is accepting questions for Mr. Boras, and you can even remain anonymous in the process.

New SportsAgentBlog.com columnist, Zach Miller, loves to talk about the tie-in of politics with sports. While there are many connections between the two subjects, one rarely hears about a sports agent getting into the world of lobbying and promises (I am talking about politics here!). When I am asked about my future aspirations, I often […]
Onyx Sports Group claims that it is not just a “player factory”. On its web page, only one golfer is listed under its Golf division. While Onyx may not be a player factory, its CEO, Andrew Moss, has been indicted for blowing a bunch of smoke at his golf client and a sponsor. The client, […]
Bill Henkel Pleads Guilty
February 1, 2006 – I reported that former IMG employee Bill Henkel received a temporary restraining order (TRO) from IMG after Henkel allegedly attempted to solicit IMG clients to his new company, 10 SPORTS MARKETING. April 24, 2007 – The TRO was not enough. Henkel was accused of getting illegal kickbacks for signing LaDanian Tomlinson […]
Drew Rosenhaus recently sat down for a chat with sports fans on ESPN, probably to publicize his recently released book that I reviewed, Next Question. Anyway, here are three conversations that I thought were more interesting: Matt: Mr. Rosenhaus, does it ever bother you that your perception among the general sports public is that you’re […]
A Scott Boras Offseason
Keeping on the theme of baseball for the day, just came across an LA Times article highlighting Scott Boras. I find it kind of humorous, because while there are a ton of agents who do great work for their clients, it seems like Boras and Rosenhaus are the only ones that the mass media finds […]
