Want to be an NFL agent? Part II

So I got a lot of e-mails from people who have been reading this blog since day one saying how suprised they were about the myriad of rules that the NFL has for aspiring Sports Agents. But the rules don’t end when you finally become a registered Agent… If you pass the written exam, you […]

With a 22 point Nielson-index rating (35.6 million of the 130 million American TV households watched), the entire country was able to see just how much Vincent Young meant to his undefeated Texas Longhorn team.

Are you Sabermetrics Savy?

As an agent, you need to sell your player at the price he/she deserves. In-depth statistical performance analysis has been the latest fad in Major League Baseball.

Agent Spotlight: Mark Stevens

I wish this blog existed in the height of the T.O. fiesta (I figure fiesta could fit the description), although that issue is not overwith anyway. The big talk as of late, though, has turned to Ron Artest and his demand to be traded out of Indiana. Artest’s agent, Mark Stevens has received some press […]
