On March 16, 2010, I received the following message on LinkedIn: Hey Darren – love to hear more about your sports agent blog…..Working with almost every agent now, and O-D Life is providing an agent analysis for kids coming out of school so that they arent taken advantage or risk eligibility a-la-Dez Bryant.

Readers who frequent this site are probably familiar with the fairly new column, On To The Next One, where I highlight when an athlete leaves his agent for new representation.

While Randy Moss is On To The No One, Jared Odrick has actually fired his agent and hired a new one. Odrick, the 28th overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, who was selected by the Miami Dolphins, has officially given Lamont Smith and Peter Schaffer of All Pro Sports & Entertainment (which has a […]
I am smack in the middle of Week 1 of studying for the Florida and Multistate Bar Exam. If I had no time management skills, I would crash and burn trying to manage studying for this mega test along with everything else I am doing at the same time. I wish I were out in […]
It was not all that long ago that IMG was known for its Client Management division, which included many talented athletes not named Tiger Woods. Jonathan Blue was focused on investing in non-sports businesses and Creative Artists Agency (CAA) was known as one of the best Entertainment agencies in the world. Today, IMG only manages […]
