On May 12 of this year, I reported that Shawne Merriman left Tom Condon of Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) Football Division in favor of David Dunn of Athletes First. At the time, I made a point to mention that we do not normally hear about a football player leaving a mega agency like CAA. It […]
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all. Anyone go out to the stores real early today? With so many great deals to be found online, I feel like it is not even necessary to do your body such a disservice by waking up so early after a big day of eating. I am up in Tallahassee, Florida […]

The additional details included the following bullet-point: Mahlon Carey, Hakeem Nicks, Omar Brown, Vernon Davis, and […]
With MLB Free Agency officially underway, we have been extremely busy talking to teams about a couple of our clients who have a lot of value to add to an MLB organization. Clubs have shown a lot of interest in Gary Patchett and Matt Scherer, both of whom have a great deal of experience at […]
Right before I was scheduled to give a speech to the Indiana University Sport Marketing Alliance this past Thursday, I was told that former Florida Gator and current Auburn Tiger, Cam Newton, might have accepted money prior to enrolling at Auburn. The entire conversation started with John Bond, a former Mississippi State quarterback, stating that when […]
