Sick Story For The Agents Who Rep Scott Sicko

The only joke I will make about this story is based on the player’s last name – It really makes me sick-o. Unless you work at Creative Artists Agency, Maximum Sports, BEST, Athletes First, Rosenhaus Sports, or Priority Sports (I am probably missing a few at this level), not a day goes by that you […]

Brandon Marshall Is Highly Paid, But Maybe Not Highest Paid WR

Did you know that there is a clause in Brandon Marshall‘s contract that says he will earn a $2.7 million roster bonus in 2014 if he participates in 95%+ of Miami Dolphins Special Teams plays in 2010?  As of right now, I would say that there is a 0.00001% chance that Marshall actually benefits from […]

Labor Relations in the NFL: The Impact of the Uncapped Year

Since the 1993 NFL season, the league has had been fortunate enough to maintain stable and successful labor relations, extending the CBA five consecutive times and avoiding a work stoppage since 1987, but will that streak end this year?  NFL owners appear willing to lock out their players in 2011 if an impasse is reached […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/2/2010)

Anyone here getting an iPad tomorrow?  I’d love to hear what you think of the device if you are an early purchaser.  I never tied my hands to Apple in any of their products.  Major League Baseball’s regular season is only a couple of days away.  We still have one player in big league camp, […]

Some UFL Open Tryouts
