Rookie Duties: Oh Say Can You See…the Canadian Border?

First off, I hope you all had a terrific Fourth of July weekend – if it was half as good as mine was, then I’m sure that you did. Last week I left you off just after a minor letdown with the NHL Entry Draft, but with the CHL Import Draft following closely in its […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (7/2/2010)

Friday really crept up on me!  I had no idea it was Friday until a couple of hours ago and then realized that I needed to churn out the weekly Friday Wrap-Up.  With so much going on in my personal, professional, and scholastic lives, I guess my forgetfulness is somewhat justified.  Anyway, big time congratulations […]

Movement: Drew Gooden And Richard Jefferson

Already one great decision and one that leaves me scratching my head. Sure, I have become a big fan of Dan Fegan of Legardere Unlimited as of late, but he deserves my acclaim, especially when he gets his clients deals that look like straight-up steals.  I didn’t even discuss Drew Gooden in my post that […]

In 2008, Josh Childress left the Atlanta Hawks and the United States for Olympiakos and Greece.  It was a bold move made by a player who proved he was qualified to play in the NBA, but saw the Olympiakos opportunity as a way to get paid well and experience life overseas.  His agent, Jim Tanner […]

A Step Closer To The Trading Of MLB Draft Picks?

On June 24, I talked about an MLB where draft picks could be traded.  Apparently, it was not such a pipe dream.  I mentioned that one major hurdle could be the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), which might not be interested in bringing about any significant changes to the MLB Rule 4 Draft.  And […]

Why I Decided To Enter The World Of Athlete Representation

Sometimes I am asked the question, “Why did you decide to enter the world of athlete representation?”  It is a loaded question that is extremely difficult to answer. Up until high school, the plan was to become a doctor.  You know that put a smile on my Jewish mother’s face.  When I realized that I […]
