I meant to post this a long time ago, but I have been so busy as of late, that I could not find the time to read through Gabe Feldman‘s new piece, The Puzzling Persistence of the Single Entity Argument for Sports Leagues: American Needle and the Supreme Court’s Opportunity to Reject a Flawed Defense.

Michael Crabtree may have shot himself in the foot when he decided to hold out these past four weeks of the season. The reason for this is that Crabtree pretty much lost all leverage when the 49ers started the season hot. After their winning streak, Eugene Parker knew he had to act quickly and get […]
I’m tired of people saying that Michael Crabtree is the last man standing in the 2009 NFL Draft class. Let’s call it how it is. Michael Crabtree is the last man sitting. Sitting on his ass while the 49ers win ballgames (something they could not do last year), players earn themselves and their families money, […]

National Football League, the Supreme Court decided that it will review the case and see whether the NFL is immune from Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act for the licensing of intellectual property.

Baseball players have been diagnosed with a fever, and it is not swine flu. They see what Dynasty is doing for their careers and we get more and more players inquiring about our services by the day. A major part of our value comes from our entrepreneurship. I ask all of our agents, interns, and […]
Rookie holdouts are nothing new to the sports world. Every year we see a few or more rookies being advised by their agent/advisor to hold out of camp until a fair contract is signed. Before I jump to support any side, I’d like to present some important points-of-view. From the athlete side: Professional sports are […]
The Saints are waiting for Malcolm Jenkins to come marching in and it looks as though the 49ers will be waiting a lot longer for their first round pick to sign. The battle over next year’s crop of talent is not a two company fight between CAA and Athletes First. At least Eugene Parker wants […]
