Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/27/2010)

I spent last weekend in New York, meeting with friends in the sports business and companies that might be able to help out Dynasty‘s current clients and its expansion efforts.  It has already proved to be a very rewarding trip.  I am very close to finally being all settled in my new home in Fort […]

Will Advisor Communication Hurt Karsten Whitson?

I want to start this article by stressing that the point of this article has nothing to do with getting any player in trouble.  The reason that I wrote this post is to once again try to point out how ludicrous the NCAA’s no-agent rule continues to be.  It was struck down by a court […]

The Continuance Of Advisor/Club Communication

In the 2009 MLB First-Year Player Draft, the Toronto Blue Jays selected former University of Kentucky pitcher, James Paxton, in the Supplemental First Round.  Paxton and the Blue Jays did not come to terms on an agreement prior to the signing deadline, and Paxton decided that he would return to school for his senior season.

The 2010 MLB Draft And Possible Future Changes

Typically, the deadline for teams to sign the players that they select in each MLB First-Year Player Draft is 11:59 p.m. EST on August 15.  That deadline changes when August 15 falls on a weekend, pushing the deadline back to the first Monday following August 15.  This year fell into the exception, which is why […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (8/6/2010)

It’s about time we give a big old SHALOM to Amar’e Stoudemire.  The man is enjoying his time in Israel and really embracing the culture, after finding out that his mother is Jewish.  Shabbat at my apartment next time you are down in South Florida.  Check out the video at the end of this post […]

Kellin Deglan Being Sued For Advising Fees

No one has “getting burned by an advisee” on their to-do list.  In fact, not long ago, I wrote a post about what types of claims an advisor may have against an advisee should the advisee use the advisor’s services and follow up with a “I’m not paying you, but I really appreciate the help” […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/2/2010)

Friday really crept up on me!  I had no idea it was Friday until a couple of hours ago and then realized that I needed to churn out the weekly Friday Wrap-Up.  With so much going on in my personal, professional, and scholastic lives, I guess my forgetfulness is somewhat justified.  Anyway, big time congratulations […]

Last Day To Get Drafted Into The MLB In 2010

Today is Day 3 of the MLB Rule 4 Draft.  There are still 20 more rounds to go, and while teams do not take up close to their 1 minute of allotted time per pick, it is a long and exhausting process.  Festivities will kick off at noon for the 2nd day in a row, […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (5/28/2010)

I am ready for a new phone.  I don’t think I hate anything or anyone as much as I hate the hourglass on my Blackberry Curve.  The damn icon is the death of me.  I have to take out the battery at least five times per day.  But not for much longer.  Yesterday, I went […]
