While it seems as though the lawsuit filed by Howard A. Kusnick PA against Kellin Deglan (the #22 overall pick in the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft) is stalled (the most recent movement being Deglan filing a new motion to dismiss), Howard Kusnick has his hands full with different court proceedings. Kusnick, a principal at Double Diamond […]
Year: 2011
Last Friday, Marc Isenberg contributed a great piece to Sports Agent Blog concerning his Do It Yourself Rookie Symposium. Based on the fact that the NFL rookie symposium is cancelled this year, Isenberg has offered to provide a free copy of his Go Pro Like a Pro booklet to any NFL draftee, undrafted free agent, […]
Staying on the topic of Drew Rosenhaus and the 2011 NFL Draft, the man seems to be on a mission to sign players who were represented by another entity on the days of the Draft, even though he cannot negotiate the terms of their rookie contracts yet. Earlier today, I reported that Rosenhaus signed former […]
I am always surprised when I see that a University of Miami player is not represented by Drew Rosenhaus in the NFL Draft. Was the player not recruited at all by Rosenhaus or did some agent just happen to do something to persuade the player? After all, even if you hate Rosenhaus, the guy is […]
Michael Jasper has been receiving a lot of press lately. My favorite piece was written at ProFootballWeekly.com – Jasper overcomes enormous odds on journey to NFL. Also have to love the press about Gabe Carimi, Bear Jew. If only the players and owners could agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. I am ecstatic about the […]
Since reviewing his book, Money Players, on August 15, 2007, I have become very good friends with Marc Isenberg. I have invited him to speak multiple times at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, engaged in great sports business discussions with him, and have been able to count on him for advice whenever […]
The following is a guest contribution from Marc Isenberg. Follow Marc on twitter @marcisenberg. I will be publishing my review of Marc’s “Go Pro Like a Pro” (discussed in this post) in the near future. Needless to say, it is a very informative booklet for athletes to read. “The direction in which education starts a […]
If you go to Jarvis Green’s website, you will find three words that describe the two-time Super Bowl champion and current Houston Texan: “Philanthropist, Athlete, Entrepreneur.” While Green has certainly had his fair share of success on the gridiron, it may not be a coincidence that the first word is “Philanthropist.” I constantly receive emails […]
My friend Rand Getlin recently wrote a story about “cash-strapped NFL players seeking high-risk ‘lockout loans.’” In his article, Getlin raised many good points, the most salient one being that players need to be very careful of who they work with to secure loans, and more importantly, the interest rates associated with those loans. Just last […]
No preseason or regular season NFL games have been cancelled due to the NFL Lockout to date, but the Lockout has its first couple of victims: the rookie symposium and the joint NFL/NFLPA player education programs held annually at Ivy League universities. Every year, all players selected in the NFL Draft are invited to the […]
