Normally we pop the Manischewitz on Shabbat, but this week it is all about the Champaign…Champaign, Illinois, that is. This week’s Friday Wrap-Up post is brought to you all the way from the University of Illinois. That’s right…I’m in Illinois, baby! Go Illini…beat OSU! If you missed it, this week I was able to interview […]
I don’t know how I missed this story that was posted almost five months ago, but Forbes.com put together a piece on what they believe to be Baseball’s Best Agents. The eight agent entities (both individual and team efforts) that are highlighted account for 41% of the $2.5 billion in salaries being paid out by […]

Bust out your yarmulkes and start slicing the challah. It is time for your Friday wrap up of links that I failed to cover during the week. Jerome Brown of San Clemente, California pleaded not guilty after being accused of forming fake businesses to defraud other companies out of about $450,000. His lawyer claims that […]
Mike Lowell loves playing for the Boston Red Sox whether they win the World Series or end up losing to the Cleveland Indians in Game 5 of the ALCS. It really says a lot about a modern day player who is not afraid to voice his candid opinion to the media. Most athletes who choose […]
Okay, so by now you’ve probably heard and read the story relating to Senator George Mitchell’s investigation into Major League Baseball’s steroid and human growth hormone (HGH) scandal, which started some 18 months ago.
