I am a huge fan of Darren Gill. Unless you have been reading this blog for a while now or are reading this site from your comfortable home/office in Canada, you have no clue who I am talking about. Gill doesn’t mind. I first talked to Darren when he offered to be a guest contributor […]
Month: May 2008
Take a quick look at recent interviews conducted with some of the most prominent members in the sports agent industry. Leigh Steinberg and David Falk have shown deep concern with the direction that our profession is going. In an effort to turn around some of the reverse evolution that Falk speaks of, the NBAPA proclaimed […]
How sweet would it be to represent an MLB starting pitcher? Now image that the pitcher can hit too. Not only hit, but crush the ball. Well that is exactly what Scott Boras has in Micah Owings. Not only is Owings a solid 4 or 5 starter, but he can hit in the 9 spot […]
That recent post on the 8th grader signing a Letter Of Intent with the University of Kentucky sparked a lot of discussion (let’s try to keep that trend going!). Whether it was a smart move by the kid’s family, and whether the University of Kentucky seems desperate is one issue. What about the fact that […]

The Primary Cut
Tiger Woods may have come up short yet again at Augusta (which did nothing to disspell the lone ‘criticism’ of his game–i.e. that he cannot come from behind on Sunday to win), but that doesn’t mean that Nike and IMG weren’t elated by the success of South African Trevor Immelman, who has been overshadowed by […]
The emails have been delivered, and just like last time, it is very tough for me to look back at some of the names of the people who unfortunately will not be able to become part of the Dynasty family at this time. Last time around, I only had to deal with calling five candidates […]
But at least I will be going into the day with a smile on my face. Dynasty now has its first client in an MLB organization. Dan Leatherman, the stud RHP who quickly became the #38 prospect for the Minnesota Twins before being cut with absolutely no explanation is back in MLB’s Minor League System. […]
So much for holding onto your Letter of Intent as long as possible. A 6’4 8th grader will not have to tour various college campuses, because at the moment, he is committed to playing basketball at Kentucky when he graduates high school. Don’t get me wrong, I have defended the point that high school athletes […]
If you missed my interview with Leigh Steinberg, I suggest you check it out. I am no longer a 1L! For those of you non-legal people, that means that I made it through the toughest year of law school. Hopefully, it will be all smooth sailing from here. I am back home in South Florida, […]

Another Darren Interviews An Agent
And his name is also Darren. Darren Rovell has a great interview with the man who recently spoke to the Wall Street Journal and said, “The sports agent business has become so corrupt — I would not encourage anyone to try to become an agent right now.” Check Darren Rovell’s interview with sports agent, David […]
