Chris Ekwueme is a very talented, but largely unknown football player. Chris is a special player with tremendous size, strength, quickness, and versatility. He can play on either the offense or defensive line. His talents have gone unnoticed because he played his college ball at the D-II level. He has had limited professional exposure at the […]

Concussion Discussion
Adam Taxin is the sports radio king of Philadelphia (at least in my mind, since he has me on his show quite often). This past week, he decided to give me some time off, and of course, ended up having a much more intelligent conversation with a neurosurgeon instead. Dr. Steven Kalkanis graced the airwaves […]
Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints has (again) fired Mike Ornstein, the Reebok representative and CEO of the Santa Monica-CA based The Sports Link, who began serving as Bush’s marketing agent in January 2006 and who once hired Bush as a paid-summer intern. The Sports Link represents former NFL players Marcus Allen, Tim Brown […]
Paul Solotaroff recently wrote an interesting article for Men’s Journal titled “Casualties of the NFL,” detailing the horrendous strain professional football players put on their bodies (by choice), and the ramifications down the road of the injuries they often play through (often with the aid of copious pain medication). But what’s waiting at the end […]
I blogged last week that Lloyd Lake, co-founder of the now defunct New Era Sports & Entertainment along with partner Michael Michaels, was scheduled to meet Friday with NCAA investigators and allegedly supply them with documents and receipts, including a deposit slip, showing that Lake had placed hundreds of dollars into Reggie Bush’s personal bank […]
The gefilte fish is running mighty low. Go tell someone to replenish the stock and get ready for your Friday wrap up of links that I failed to cover during the week. You have never heard of Bill Horn, but he represents some of the biggest names in professional football for their marketing, endorsements, appearances […]
One recurring question in our Interview With The Agent column is: At what age do you feel an agent will hit his prime/glory years? I personally believe that there really is no true answer to that question. I am a firm believer that age is merely a word and that we are purely bound by […]
As expected, attorneys for Lloyd Lake—co-founder along with Michael Michaels of the now defunct New Era Sports & Entertainment—filed a civil suit on Tuesday in San Diego County Court against Former USC and Heisman Trophy-winning running back (and now in his second season with the New Orleans Saints), Reggie Bush and his family. The suit […]
Trash the cheeseburger (you know it’s not kosher) and get ready for your Friday wrap up of links that I failed to cover during the week. Agents only have 10 minutes to sell their 1st round potential draft picks in the 2008 NFL Draft (down from 15 minutes for each team to select). Hopefully this […]
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]. If you want to see the minority of an industry exposed, which is something that mainstream media […]
