Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovebirds reading Sports Agent Blog. My single self will save money tonight and eat in. After many years of being in a relationship this time of year it is a change I can deal with. I should be up in New York speaking at the Fordham Sports Law Symposium, […]

Richard is a student at CUNY-College of Staten Island and Assistant to the Director of Artist Management at Wilhelmina Models. He stayed in red, but for a different organization.

Hey Kobe Bryant. Here is your official, public invitation to come ball at my local Jewish Community Center (JCC). You know, in case you get tired of the one in Irvine, California. I am heading to Memphis, Tennessee tonight to host the University of Memphis’ first Agent Day with Jason Belzer tomorrow. We will also […]
When I was contacted over the weekend by Brian Walton of TheCardinalNation.com and Scout.com with about six questions related to the baseball agent profession, I had no idea just why he was asking me those specific questions.
