Sports Business Carnival # 3

I got into this whole “Carnival” thing with Carnival of the NBA #44 back on June 6, 2007. Since then, I Want to be a Sports Agent has been featured on many other Carnivals of the NBA. Here is a little recap on the concept behind “Carnivals”: All posts included in a Carnival are pertain to the subject of that particular Carnival. Usually, a Carnival is run by a different sports blogger in every issue.

Jason Peck hopes that his new Carnival becomes as big as some of the others already in existence. At Take a Peck, he has created the bi-weekly, Sports Business Carnival. I Want to be a Sports Agent has been honored in all three issues of the Carnival, which has been posted on Peck’s site each time (we did not even know until Peck informed us).

Today, Peck came out with Sports Business Carnival #3. I Want to be a Sports Agent has a link right above the very awkward picture of Michelle Wie. The article linked to concerns the ability of sports agents to go green [Sports Agents Should Go Green]. Go ahead and check it out.
