Baseball over, basketball beginning and my Miami Dolphins suffering (even after an overtime win). Should be a great slate of college football this Saturday with a mid-day match-up between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs and a nightcap of Florida State vs. Miami. I can only imagine how crazy it will be in Brickell on […]
Heading up to West Palm Beach this weekend to celebrate the wedding of one of my best friends. It will be another nice vacation, especially with the beautiful weather (not really) we have been experiencing in South Florida. This week on FORBES: (1) College Athletes Should Not Expect Stipends Because The Amateur Model Is More Important; (2) NBA […]
Hung out with the three Miami Heat championship trophies this week. Love those trophies. Earned a nice win for a client in the NFLPA’s mandatory grievance procedure. Neil Stratton at InsideTheLeague.com wrote about it here (subscription required). This week on FORBES: (1) Basketball Agent For Tim Duncan And Jeremy Lin Launches New Sports Agency; (2) Rory McIlroy Sues […]
The big news in the agent world this week is that the State of North Carolina is backing up its word that it is serious about enforcing its athlete agent law. The revelation is unsettling for those indicted and others who may have ignored the state’s law in recent years. However, for those agents conducting […]
I survived Costa Rica, which I count as a major win. It was an absolute blast, but it is always nice to come home to a city that you love (Miami). Tough first loss for the Miami Dolphins this past Monday, and it will be interesting to see how they rebound against the Ravens. Basketball […]
Revisiting Gainesville last weekend was a blast, and it is always nice to see the Gators beat up on Tennessee (for the 9th straight time). This weekend I am in Costa Rica for a good friend’s bachelor party. A lot of traveling, and who knows when it will end. This week on FORBES: (1) Former BMX […]
I am making my yearly trip up to Gainesville, Florida and very excited to be in the Swamp to see the Gators take on the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend. It was a great week of work, including the amazing honor of receiving a 40 under 40 award by the Daily Business Review, honoring 40 South […]
Sports Illustrated has its Oklahoma State story, Yahoo! Sports has its Southeastern Conference story. Those two beasts alone are enough to make your eyes tired. The idea of amateurism also is enough to exhaust you — don’t even try to justify the claim that it is a relevant concept in today’s day-and-age. I hope all […]
You may have noticed that Sports Agent Blog was down for about a 24-hour period this week. I apologize for the downtime and am glad that the site is back up and operational. The website crashed as I was in New York moderating a performance enhancing drug panel put on by Pure Sport, which featured […]
The concussion litigation against the NFL is not over quite yet, but at least the NFL and former NFL players have agreed to initial terms for a settlement agreement, which must still be approved by Judge Brody in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Between that and the start of college football, it was quite the […]
