Kyle Rote Jr. is a man who has lived a very full life. He is currently in his late 50s, but as a young child, was probably heavily influenced by his father, who once played for the New York Giants. A lot of people talk about athleticism running in a family. The Rote family may […]
Was it all an image issue? Was Boras Corp pissed that Buster Posey, a guy drafted later than Boras client, Pedro Alvarez, received the highest signing bonus in the history of the MLB Amateur Draft? At dusk on August 16th, reports stated that Posey received a $6.2 million bonus from San Francisco while Alvarez ended […]
I learned a lot this weekend. Perhaps the most important nugget of information was that I should never wait until the last minute to start looking to book a flight. And even when waiting until the last minute, there is no reason to be stubborn and say, “Screw it, I’m driving.” Although I was able […]
This Sunday my beloved Yankees play their final game at the old Yankee Stadium. I have been a diehard Yankee fan my whole life and have been to the stadium countless times. Yet never was I more excited to attend a game then this Sunday’s home finale against the Orioles. I knew it was going […]
When he is not busy recruiting potential clients for Dynasty, reading up on the NFL Collective Bargaining agreement, or taking his recently engaged fiance to dinner (CONGRATULATIONS!), Matthew Watkins likes to write posts over at the Dynasty Newswire.

Does anything work in favor of former NHL player, Mike Danton? He went to jail for plotting to kill his former agent, David Frost. Frost was not only his agent, but took Danton as a part of his family after Danton disowned his own kin. Danton definitely had a tough chlildhood, and it seems like […]
Skip to about 1:42 in the video below. “The Star-Spangled Banner is going on. I don’t celebrate this shit. I’m black.” What is Josh Howard doing saying this crap on camera? The only reason I post this is to remind athletes and their advisors that it is too easy to have one small comment at […]
Only three players in the first round did not sign with the teams that selected them in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. The previous statement may not hold true if it is found that Pedro Alvarez and Eric Hosmer were signed after the deadline. That being said, of the three players who went unsigned, Aaron […]

The clause often gives the team or sponsor the right to terminate the contract and […]
