So we wrap up the week of Lance Armstrong and Manti Te’o. Sure, there were other sports-related stories (and many are linked to, below), but they took a backseat to the two aforementioned athletes. Also, Mazel Tov to Marc Trestman, the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, who is a graduate of the University […]
The first full week of 2013 has come to a close; hopefully some of you have maintained your New Year’s Resolutions. I had a great time covering the BCS National Championship Game for Forbes.com, even if it was not exactly the most exciting match-up in the history of the BCS. Speaking of Forbes, here are […]
Happy New Year! Looking forward to attending the BCS National Championship Game on behalf of Forbes. Holler at me if you will be there. Tough loss for my Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl, but I am happy for Charlie Strong and a very good Louisville team. This past week on Forbes.com: (1) Notre Dame Merchandise […]
I hope everyone had a very Happy Holiday (whichever holiday was celebrated) and wish all a Happy upcoming New Year. This past week on Forbes.com: (1) Who Cares About The NHL Lockout?; and (2) Brooklyn Nets Nix Avery Johnson, But Player Contracts May Cause Concern. New Years Eve will be Sports Agent Blog’s seventh birthday. Pinching myself […]
People say stupid things all the time. Here’s one for you: a San Francisco Chronicle writer believes that because NBA Commissioner David Stern Hanukkah, has no real feel for Christmas in the first place. This is a good digital holiday card from the Arizona Diamondbacks. I especially like the part where an employee guesses that dreidels are made […]

I am thrilled to be published again in the New York State Bar Association Entertainment, Arts and Sports […]
Last night’s loss to the New York Knicks hurt quite a bit, and I know I am going to be hearing about it all day from select clients. Just remember – it’s only December. What are your thoughts on the Israeli basketball team that suspended its captain for calling another player a Nazi? I have […]
I was at the American Airlines Arena last night to watch the Miami Heat take on a San Antonio Spurs team that dressed only nine players (Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and others failed to even make the trip). While it was a pretty boring game throughout, I was happy to see a Heat win. I […]
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and that all readers enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I am going to see the new(ish) James Bond today. The weather is absolutely gorgeous in Florida; it’s no wonder that I, and practically every athlete, chooses to live here. Some of my recent Forbes stories include: (1) […]
Rough week for inhabitants of Miami, Florida. Hayley Mick of The Globe and Mail asked me for my thoughts on the trade between the Marlins and the Blue Jays. A business decision is a business decision. Let’s move on. This week I was very active on Forbes.com. Here are the stories I published: (1) Why […]
