I am not a big fan of the NFL combine or the major press coverage that it draws. I personally think that the event over-hypes certain athletes because they basically test well in a fake, determined atmosphere. I liken it to an Ivy League school accepting a student who was middle of the pack throughout […]

For a couple of days, Yardbarker.com had a post by Greg Oden on its front page, racking up more barks (positive votes) each hour. The title of his blog entry was: Senator Obama is getting my vote. Then, Jason Wulterkens wrote about how Tiger Woods recently jumped on the Obama bandwagon, throwing his support toward […]
Representation Of A Sports Artist?
I recently got an interesting email from Craig Gould, a sports artist based out of Dallas Texas. This was in the body of the message: I have been painting for years, but I have just recently decided to pursue it as a full-time profession. After some recent brainstorming and research of the market for sports […]
Is Barry Bonds going to go to Tampa Bay and play with the always changing Devil Rays or move to a location where he can justify ignoring reporters because they speak another language, and play ball in Japan? The Rays are busy talking internally about proposing an offer to Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris, but have […]
Over a year ago, I did a special spotlight on female agent, Kristen Kuliga. It took FOX Business a lot longer to realize the great strides that Ms. Kuliga has made in the sports agent industry. While Kuliga is no longer the only woman NFLPA certified agent to negotiate contracts for active NFL players, she […]
Next the Red Sox are going to replace Big Papi and place Boras himself on the roster. Scott Boras’ 7th official client on Boston’s 25 man roster is Manny Ramirez after Ramirez fired Greg Genske at the start of spring training. Boras benefits from the fact that Manny’s contract with the Red Sox may be […]
The NCAA basketball season is quickly coming to a close, and Dynasty is hoping to get into the world of basketball in the upcoming draft. Speaking of Dynasty, I never really got to publicly thank the creator of the Dynasty logo. If you like it and want to talk to him about creating a logo […]
What do you know? Scott Boras got hammered publicly again. The main question, though, is whether the criticism of Boras is credible, since it comes from a guy who is more prone to spouting belligerent comments than Boras’ last critic (Kenny Rogers). Gary Sheffield went on a tirade on Thursday, calling out Boras in every […]
Take Your Pick: Boras Or Steinberg
Jon Haber, a student writer at the Daily Trojan (USC’s university sponsored newspaper), likes Leigh Steinberg and does not think very highly of Scott Boras. In fact, he considers them to be at opposite extremes in the way that they conduct business. This is what Haber had to say about Boras: On one side, there’s […]
It’s been an interesting month so far for David Falk. The once super agent represented Michael Jordan for the entirety of his career, and rose to prominence after splitting (quite contentiously) from ProServ and Donald Dell in 1992 in order to establish his own company, Falk Associates Management Enterprises (FAME), which he sold to the […]
