What would you think if you saw a 5-foot-8-inch, 135-pound, gorgeous blonde, 34-year-old personal trainer and former National Fitness Champ named “Bubbly the Destroyer?” Sounds intimidating huh? Well, “Bubbly the Destroyer” is only the name her husband, sports agent Bruce Horn, jokingly calls her. Competitors and viewers of the newest American Gladiators know her as “Venom” […]

For the past few weeks, one of the hot topics in hockey circles has been the stream of NHL talent heading across the Atlantic to join teams in the new Russian Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up
Summer is quickly winding down. I will be in Orlando this weekend at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex watching some of the next big basketball stars take the court. A week later, I’ll be back up in Gainesville, moving into a house right across from the law school and getting ready for my […]

A-Rod was discussed earlier today, so let’s keep the trend going. Luckily, or unluckily, most agents will never deal with an issue like that which Alex Rodriguez is currently wrapped in.
