No more Gators Football Championship talk out of me. Alabama played one heck of a game, and it was readily apparent that the multiple injuries + Dunlap’s stupid arrest held us back from putting up a serious fight. I hate to see Nick Saban win after the way he treated the loyal Miami Dolphins fans […]

Catch the Dynasty Viral Video posted on Monday? Happy birthday to my girlfriend, who turned 21-years-old today (no robbing the cradle jokes! I’m only 24!). Spring Training is right around the corner. I am excited to visit all of our Dynasty clients who will be performing in Florida. I hope you are catching a glimpse […]

Losing Some Pals Over Furcal
The biggest sports agent related news of last week had to be the battle of words between the executives of the Atlanta Braves vs. the agents at Wasserman Media Group. And it was all over Rafael Furcal. At the beginning of last week, I remember reading a headline in one paper that read something along […]
As of yesterday, baseball executives and MLBPA agents had crawled up into the Ritz and glitz of Las Vegas, but this trip is not to enjoy the blackjack tables, luxurious pool decks, and clubs that stay open all hours of the night. The agents and executives are in Vegas for one of the most important […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
At home this weekend against The Citadel, away next week against FSU, and then the SEC Championship vs. Alabama. Can the Florida Gators pull it off and return to the National Championship game? If so, it will be in my backyard of Miami, Florida. Dynasty is real happy about Dan Leatherman re-signing with the Nats. […]

STAY OUT OF IT!!!
There has been some talk recently that the MLBPA is suggesting or pressuring C.C. Sabathia to accept the Yankees offer of 6 years and $140 million. For the MLBPA to even get involved in this issue sets a horrible precedent for baseball and its players. I understand that the MLBPA exists to watch out for […]
If it smells like collusion, and it looks like collusion, minus it not tasting like collusion, it probably is collusion. At least that is what Jeff Borris, Barry Bonds’ agent, has been preaching for a while now. And it finally seems like the MLBPA is going to take up Barry’s cause. Well…eventually. While the MLBPA […]
Was it all an image issue? Was Boras Corp pissed that Buster Posey, a guy drafted later than Boras client, Pedro Alvarez, received the highest signing bonus in the history of the MLB Amateur Draft? At dusk on August 16th, reports stated that Posey received a $6.2 million bonus from San Francisco while Alvarez ended […]
While I was frantically trying to find a class to substitute the terrible Child Support Enforcement Law that I dropped yesterday, I received an IM from Brian Foley of TheCollegeBaseballBlog.com. I had read headlines about Pedro Alvarez yesterday, but had not checked the full story yet. He wanted a quote, so this is what I […]

Book Review: Change Up
When it comes down to it, there is no sport that I enjoy or know more about than baseball. A large reason for that is that I grew up with a father who was and continues to be a passionate New York Yankees fan (you have to remember that the Florida Marlins were not around […]
