A few days ago, football agent Greg “Tripp” Linton of HOF Player Representatives wrote an article titled, Agent’s Corner: You Want the Truth, You Can’t Handle The Truth… The article starts with a familiar story to many sports agents in the business – a college coach having an under-the-table relationship with an agent – but a story that is rarely told […]
Stephen Bowen is a 6’5, 306lbs defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys. While the five year veteran has spent all his time in the NFL in Dallas, he spent the rest of his life in New York. Bowen went to high school in Dix Hills, NY before playing football at Hofstra University. Bowen did not […]
I am up in Orlando taking a deposition today; such is the life of a lawyer who delves in transactional and litigation matters. Basketball heavy Friday Wrap-Up this week. It is interesting to hear of some NBA players seriously considering teams overseas. Fully expect each one of them who signs to include an opt-out clause […]
NFL Lockout, please meet your new friend, NBA Lockout. The NBA and NFL have expired collective bargaining agreements and no clue as to when they will be striking deals with the respective groups that are representing the players of each league.

The following is a guest contribution from Martin Fischman (@Martin_Fischman), Dynasty’s Football Division Director.

I do not watch much hockey at all, but I did tune in to see Game 7 between the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks. The aftermath viewed through multiple pictures and videos is disheartening. But it goes to show you just how powerful and meaningful sports and individual franchises can be to the general […]
First, I want to apologize for the delay in blogs and topics. We had a great NBA Pre-Draft Class here at IMG Academies. Doubling business is good, but I guess I forgot about the double work part.
