Other times, I feel fairly confident. Anyway, if my posting slows down in the next couple weeks, don’t hold it against me. I’m […]

As if sports agents were not already looked at in a shady manner, the San Fransisco Chronicle picks up the slack and hammers into your skull just how ruthless many of my colleagues may be [A TEMPTING BUSINESS].

You Can’t Kill This Radio Star

What Would You Do…? (#1)

I decided to start a new column that will spark solid dialogue amongst our avid readers here at the blog. It’s entitled “What would you do…?” The column’s basic purpose is to pose a hypothetical situation related to athlete representation.
