I have a bunch of stuff to post, but I had to let it all slide for a couple hours in order to share this amazing story from the Palm Beach Post. It highlights my boy, Channing Crowder (former Florida Gator and current Miami Dolphin), and his hopefully joking attitude. When asked about the upcoming […]
With Tuesday’s trade for Chris Chambers and their performance these last couple weeks, it seems that the San Diego Chargers are trying to get back on track…not that they’re back on track just yet. Let me preface this by saying that I agree 100% with Paul’s September post touching on how horrid the decision to […]
In Chris Lesley’s Sept 24-31 Wash Up column, he mentioned that Jacksonville, Florida based sports agent Michael Huyghue has handed back his NFLPA agent license in order to head up a new football league: the United Football League (UFL). In fact, Huyghue seems to be leaving it all behind with the hope that the UFL […]
It was April 15th when I last blogged on the Reggie Bush fiasco (see Yahoo! timeline) and wrote that “Bush may be able to evade tacklers, but the increasingly intricate web cast by the growing group of arguably unsavory characters with whom he’s aligned himself may prove tougher.” At the time, Bush had just settled […]

As of this week, I will be writing a new weekly column. I often see many stories which have an impact on the industry but are never strong enough to warrant an in depth article. So every week I will be writing “The Wash Up”, which will include a brief critique about several stories that […]
Suspended running back Ricky Williams applied for NFL reinstatement today, according to his recently-gone-green agent Leigh Steinberg. “Ricky is extremely excited about the prospect of playing in the NFL again and hopeful for a positive response,” said Steinberg. On the collegiate level, Williams holds or shares 20 NCAA records, and won the 64th Heisman Trophy, […]
Recently Donovan McNabb appeared on HBO’s Real Sports where he discussed how he believes black QB’s are treated unfairly in the NFL. He said that fans just don’t accept black quarterbacks. I personally think Donovan is just a little off base with his comments. His situation is a rather odd one, I will admit that. […]
Baseball may be America’s pastime, but football is America’s sport. Every Sunday, millions gather around a television to see their favorite teams and players leave everything behind on the field of play. Football players put their lives on the line each and every week for different reasons. The money in professional football is a major […]
It’s not every week that the Sports Business Journal has blog worthy information for us agents and agents-to-be but a particular article in this week’s issue is certainly worth mentioning. With the start of the 2007 NFL being this week (and Thursday night’s opening day blowout is an entirely separate issue) the editors over at […]
