(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Check out some excerpts from an interview that Darren Rovell had recently with Scott Boras over at CNBC’s Sportz Biz blog [A Day With Scott Boras]. Rovell points out the fact that his last question for Scott Boras may have solicited the best quote from Mr. Boras, and I agree that he had a great […]
Larry Reynolds was dropped as Ryan Howard’s agent [Howard dismisses agent; Phils mull raise]. Reynolds will miss out on quite a chunk of change when Howard becomes arbitration eligible after the 2007 season. Howard will move onto his third agent shortly (his first was Jim Turner), and there is a good chance that it may […]
Re-watching our favourite show Entourage the other day made me realize what I think is one of the most important aspects of being a sports agent. Super Agent Ari Gold summed it up perfectly.

In the past, I reported on the fact that David Isn’t Dunn Yet and how David may be Dunn, But Not Dead after Kyle Boller decided to pick him up for representation. Well Frank Gore saw the future for David Dunn, which will not be so bright for the next 18 months. Sports Law Blog […]
I like writing about successful University of Miami alumni [Some Miami Hurricanes Actually Do Good..]. In this case, I would like to highlight Ryan McNeil, someone who should get more credit off the field than he ever received playing football (although he was an All-American). Ryan McNeil is genuinely concerned about athletes and their ability […]
The pioneer of athlete representation, Leigh Steinberg, has stepped down as a Sports Agent and has turned over all of his operations to Bruce and Ryan Tollner. Bruce and Ryan are cousins, not brothers as some may think. Bruce is the child of Ted Tollner who was the former head coach of USC and San […]
