1. Fred Weary of the Houston Texans was tasered while resisting arrest in a traffic stop for not having a front license plate [Texans OL Weary tasered, arrested after traffic stop]. With all these football players getting tasered, you may think it’s painless. Eh…on second thought: [Taser Guns Video].

News & Notes 2.0
Sports Agents like their News & Notes, and they like them at the beginning of the day. Every day, right when I walked through the door and into my chair as an intern at Career Sports & Entertainment, I sat down and worked on reading all of local papers from the cities that the company […]

The posting fee prediction on October 25th was anywhere between $17 million to $28 million. […]
The Sport of Kings
Firstly, I would like to thank Darren for giving me the opportunity of contributing to this blog. I would like to discuss an athlete that many would probably not consider representing – A jockey. In Australia, Horse Racing is big business, with over $300 million distributed in prize money each year. A jockey receives 5% […]
Here at I Want to be a Sports Agent, we would much rather cover players when they do things to help out the community and thus strengthen their image. Much too often, the media prefers to highlight when players are convicted of DUIs and fail drug tests. Hey, we do it too! Anyway, today I […]
1. Marcus Coleman, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys (released yesterday), was arrested for driving under the influence after serving a 4 game suspension for substance abuse [Cowboys cut ties with DB Coleman after DWI arrest]. 2. Khalif Barnes of the Jacksonville Jaguars was also arrested for DUI, but was only suspended for today’s game against […]
I came across a new website for football agents. Its called www.condraft.com, and it is a great way for younger guys to look into who will be the next big thing to come out of the NFL draft. I think that condraft will be a great way to get information on players that you may […]
