The winter months are supposed to bring a natural slowing down to business, but I cannot remember a time that I have ever been busier. Believe me, that is not a complaint. If the NFL season ended today, the Dolphins would make the playoffs … and Richie Incognito’s grievance hearing would still be stayed. Thanksgiving […]
Jamaica was an absolute blast. Met amazing new people, enjoyed being a part of a fantastic panel on contractual issues and thoroughly enjoyed going on tremendous excursions. But it’s good to be back in Miami and back to the grind. Quite a busy week will conclude with (hopefully) some relaxation. However, before I settle down, […]
I’m in Jamaica with very little internet access, but a lot of sunshine. In fact, I will be somewhat surprised if this wrap-up even gets published. As they say here in Montego Bay, “No problems; ya mon!” Anyway, the Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito hoopla seems to be getting more interesting by the day. I see that […]
Baseball over, basketball beginning and my Miami Dolphins suffering (even after an overtime win). Should be a great slate of college football this Saturday with a mid-day match-up between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs and a nightcap of Florida State vs. Miami. I can only imagine how crazy it will be in Brickell on […]

“Shoutout to Worldwide Wes. Everywhere we go we leave a worldwide mess.” The line is rapped by Jay Z in a new collaboration with Drake titled, “Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2.” It is yet another reference to the sports agency industry, which Jay Z entered earlier this year with the announcement that his Roc Nation Sports […]
You may have noticed that Sports Agent Blog was down for about a 24-hour period this week. I apologize for the downtime and am glad that the site is back up and operational. The website crashed as I was in New York moderating a performance enhancing drug panel put on by Pure Sport, which featured […]
Busy busy week. Prepping hard for a hearing on a preliminary injunction in a major trademark infringement case, picked up a new NFLPA grievance and there was that whole Dyron Dye situation I had to deal with. Thank G-d the weekend is here, although while I will be having a little fun, it will be […]

Follow him on Twitter @JasonDavisEsq1 Like a new album hitting the stores, Roc Nation Sports made a grandiose entry into the sports agency world in the spring of 2013.

This week on FORBES: (1) Canadian Football League Contract Negotiated By Unlicensed Agent Has The Players Association Up In Arms; (2) Alex Rodriguez Shellacking To Continue With Today’s Suspension Announcement; (3) Colorado Rockies Served With Class Action […]
