Trying a slightly new format here for a change. Do you like it organized by category below? Anyway, a ton going on in this very busy summer. As I am sure you are aware, Dynasty acquired an agency that represents coaches. We have additionally begun our recruiting efforts in football and basketball. Dan Leatherman continues […]

How do you like the brand new layout? I have only received positive comments and am happy to provide you with this new and improved product.

1. Tiger Talk By now, you’ve not only been barraged with coverage of Tiger Woods’ latest heroic feat–a sliding left to right putt for birdie at the Arnold Palmer Invitational that ranks just short of divine–but you’ve also heard that Tiger’s “streak” fell short Monday morning at Doral to the Puma-clad Geoff Ogilvy (pictured). Meanwhile, […]

No, I’m not Darren. I’m not even Jewish. But I needed something to post on Friday. Following are some prominent pieces and sports headlines that we neglected to cover during the week. * Rick Karcher’s post, “Ethics and Agent Fees” over at Sports Law Blog (Happy 2000th Anniversary to them, by the way) touches on […]

The Primary Cut
SFX meets PETA It’s a good thing for Tripp Isenhour that we no longer run a ‘Nightmare Clients Of the Week’ column anymore. As you’ve probably already read, Isenhour, represented by John Mascatello and SFX Golf, faces misdemeanor criminal charges (up to 14 months in prison and $5,000, if convicted, per government sources) for his […]
