I hope everyone is enjoying their apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah. At this time of the year, I like to spend some time thinking about what I am thankful for. In particular, I am thankful to have supportive friends and family, good health, and independence. Quite a few professional basketball players should be thankful […]
Month: September 2010
It cannot just be me who thinks that something is being hidden in this entire A.J. Green situation.

It was a notice that the MLBPA’s Executive Board has unanimously adopted amendments to the MLBPA’s Regulations Governing Player Agents. While I am not yet MLBPA certified (although I am happy to announce that is changing […]
Between signing new clients, continuing to get settled in my new apartment in Ft.
