CAA is the old IMG, shot up with a dose of corporate steroids. Its football division is leaps and bounds above its competition, in a sport where new entrants come into the fold every day trying to take some of CAA’s share (with not much success). Its baseball division is right up there with names […]
While almost every Minor League game north of Georgia was canceled yesterday (it feels like months since Potomac has actually played a game), the weather was beautiful in the state of Florida. Yesterday morning, I got in a good workout, packed up a few things, and headed south from Gainesville to meet up with my […]
