Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (10/9/09)

Huge game this weekend.  If UF beats LSU, does UF become a unanimous #1 amongst all sports writers?  My boys at Bus Leagues Baseball had Dynasty client, Atahualpa Severino, as its 5th best Pitcher of the Year in the Minors in 2009.   What a week for Minnesota.  Amazing Vikings game followed by an even more […]

Agents And Coaches: Friends and Foes

The agent-related article of last week that generated a lot of buzz in the sports agent community was a very long piece written by ESPN.com’s Andy Katz.  While I was not able to put aside the time to give it a thorough read until several days after it was written, I am glad that I […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (9/4/09)

I have to start by quickly thanking Mizuno for a huge shipment of spikes and training shoes, and Swenson Baseball for sending some high quality gloves to a few of Dynasty’s baseball clients.  Our boys are enjoying the equipment and showing it off as they put an end to their successful professional seasons.  Is everybody […]

I am officially done with the first week of my last year of law school.  It feels good to be back in a learning environment after a few weeks off.  I enjoy all of my classes and am certain that I will take away a lot of useful information to help me grow Dynasty and […]

The NBA Is Losing Its Competitive Edge

Matthew Epps, a Spring 2010 J.D. Candidate (like me) from Villanova University School of Law (unlike me), just received a high honor entering his third and final year of law school; he was published in his school’s Sports and Entertainment Law Journal.  His piece: FULL COURT PRESS: HOW COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WEAKENED THE NBA’S COMPETITIVE EDGE […]

Brandon Brown To Play For BC Siauliai

Sometimes it seems like Dynasty has become a full-service baseball agency, but just because the other divisions may not get as much love on our tweets, Facebook page, or this site, does not mean that they are failing in any way.  We recently struck a strong deal for one of our Entertainment clients, had many […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/21/09)

Cool video above, right?  Kind of makes me want to get my hair cut with Commissioner Stern.  I am back in Gainesville and ready to begin my final year of classes next week.  I made my schedule so that I have absolutely no classes on Monday, which should allow for a lot of work to […]

Hamilton Gets a New Deal

This is my first coaching contract negotiation piece, ever. Upon researching my topic, I realized that the numbers in coaching contracts get very confusing. So, while listing the different incentives in Florida State basketball coach Leonard Hamilton‘s new contract, I figured I’d explain them a little more in depth: Hamilton will receive a base salary […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/14/09)

In South Florida this weekend?  Head to the Boca Town Center Mall tomorrow.  I will be there with my step-father as he hosts a large Franchise & Business Opportunities Show.  Then, on Sunday, it’s back to Gainesville for my final year of law school.  I got my Summer grades back this week and I am […]
