Florida Workers Compensation Law To Affect Athletes

In case you did not know, I have been blogging at ChangeLegal.com since September 2010 (albeit not nearly as regularly as I post here at Sports Agent Blog).  While I am very much intrigued and interested in the sports agent profession, I have found myself itching to write about some of the hottest topics in […]

On To The Next One: Greg Romeus

If the 2011 NFL offseason was not overshadowed by a lockout, it might be best known for the accumulation of new clients by Drew Rosenhaus of Rosenhaus Sports Representation.  Then again, if there was no lockout, perhaps Rosenhaus would not be gaining so many new clients.  Many rival agents believe that Rosenhaus has signed a […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (6/3/2011)

Really tough loss for the Miami Heat last night.  Chris Bosh is not living up to his role as part of “The Big Three” thus far in the 2011 NBA Finals.  Let’s see if the Heat are able to take at least one away from the Mavericks in Dallas.  The 2011 MLB Draft starts in […]

Jimmy Clausen Signs With David Dunn Of Athletes First

Gary Wichard, the recently deceased founder of Pro Tect Management, had an absolutely freakish 2010 NFL Draft.  He and is company represented Arrelious Benn, Everson Griffen, Taylor Mays, C.J. Spiller, and Jimmy Clausen.  That was the type of draft class that would make anybody, CAA Football included, salivate.  Out of the entire group, Wichard was […]

Athlete Agent Laws in the United States

After many hours of work, Sports Agent Blog has completed a compilation of Athlete Agent Laws in the United States.  Findings were cross-checked with multiple sources.  In the occasion that a piece of information seems vague, it is simply because the state itself does not provide a concise accounting of what the law is (part of […]

Book Review: When The Game Is On The Line

I first became familiar with the name Rick Horrow when Brian Finkel (a good friend from the University of Florida and Creative Director at Horrow Sports Ventures) sent me an email in 2009 regarding a new show on Versus titled, The $ports Take.  It sounded like a great show, but one that I would never end […]

On To The Next One: Adam Goldberg

At the end of last week, I reported that two players selected in the 2011 NFL Draft had left their agents for Drew Rosenhaus, even though the NFL Lockout is still very much in effect and there are no rookie contracts being negotiated or signed.  Allen Bailey dropped Terry Watson for Rosenhaus and Jason Pinkston […]

Jeff Berry Wants An MLB Rule Change After Buster Posey Hit

Last week, San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey broke a bone in his lower left leg when he was hit by Florida Marlins’ Scott Cousins at home plate.  Posey was blocking the plate in the 12th inning as Cousins reached home, hoping to score the go-ahead run and earn a victory for his team.  In […]

The Crack Baby Athletic Association (CBAA)

I finally got around to watching the Crack Baby Athletic Association South Park episode over the weekend.  It was funny in so many ways, but also so sad whenever you actually think to yourself, “this sort of reminds me of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s practices.”  But that’s the power of parody.  The parody also […]
