Another solid week of The Sports Biz. Thanks to everyone who has supported the new website and followed it on Twitter. Exciting news about Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson doing a pay-per-view head-to-head event in November. Interesting discussions among NFL agents occurred this week that I touched upon in a blog post. To be clear, […]
I made it back from a week trip to Turkey for the Turkish Airlines Open and I am still quite jetlagged. I’m also currently in Costa Rica, where I’m celebrating my bachelor party with 11 of my closest friends. I don’t think I have any more trips planned (other than business) before the end of […]
As Hurricane Irma makes its way through the Caribbean Islands and approaches the State of Florida, potentially affecting other states as well, I hope and pray that everyone is safe and that the worst of damage is to properties, and not anyone’s health. Please make sure that you have taken any and all precautions as […]
Sorry ladies, I’m off the market. Last Thursday, at Thanksgiving dinner, I dropped to one knee and proposed to my then-girlfriend. Thankfully she said yes. Let the wedding planning commence! This weekend I’m sticking in Fort Lauderdale, but I’m off to Las Vegas the following weekend for one of my best friend’s thirtieth birthdays. How […]

Happy NFL regular season. Fantasy football is in full swing, and with my father texting me to ask whether it is safe for him to deposit money into DraftKings, I am now positive that daily fantasy sports is here to stay. I will be in attendance at the Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots game […]
I am heading to Dallas, Texas later today and will be taking in my first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship event this Saturday. The UFC 171 will feature Johny Hendricks vs. Robbie Lawler for the welterweight title. Next Wednesday, I leave for Las Vegas for my annual retreat to enjoy the start of March Madness. My entire […]
I am heading up to New York City later today and will be up north for the entire weekend. It’s the most beautiful time to be in the City, so why not? It is with great joy that I announce Mark Burns will be contributing much more frequently on this site. Give him a follow; […]
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 […]
