NFL football is back! The Middle East could become an even more volatile region if the United Nations general assembly approves a resolution recognizing the state of Palestine with a capital of East Jerusalem. Michael Crowley of TIME believes that Palestinian statehood could become a big campaign issue. Former Israeli envoy Gabriela Shalev thinks that Israel’s international reputation is only going to get worse after the U.N. votes on the resolution. Two Jewish boys from Montgomery County recently shared the set on SportsCenter. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
Football
- Tick, tock. Tick, tock [UFL shrinks to four teams, six games].
- No team spending requirements until 2013 [Breaking in the new Cap].
- He is also engaging in some important negotiations on behalf of Michael Vick and Chris Johnson [How Football Agent Joel Segal Made His NFL Clients $150 Million In Eight Days].
Baseball
- Baseball agent Jeff Randazzo almost lost his life in 2001 [O’Hara Grad Makes It As Sports Agent].
- Possibly more influence over the Royals than everyone save its owner? [Agent Scott Boras again looms large over the Royals’ future]
- The number on the Bubba Starling contract should be rather large [Draft Links: Dodgers, Springer, Boras, Fisher].
Golf
- Will it be Lee Westwood to win it this weekend? [Can anyone stop the ‘Chubby Slam’ in Atlanta?]
Sports Law
- Can always count on Marc Isenberg to provide solid commentary on athlete agent laws [California gets tough on agents and ham sandwiches].
