Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (11/22/2013)

The winter months are supposed to bring a natural slowing down to business, but I cannot remember a time that I have ever been busier.  Believe me, that is not a complaint.  If the NFL season ended today, the Dolphins would make the playoffs … and Richie Incognito’s grievance hearing would still be stayed.  Thanksgiving […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (11/15/2013)

Jamaica was an absolute blast.  Met amazing new people, enjoyed being a part of a fantastic panel on contractual issues and thoroughly enjoyed going on tremendous excursions.  But it’s good to be back in Miami and back to the grind.  Quite a busy week will conclude with (hopefully) some relaxation.  However, before I settle down, […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-up (11/8/2013)

I’m in Jamaica with very little internet access, but a lot of sunshine.  In fact, I will be somewhat surprised if this wrap-up even gets published.  As they say here in Montego Bay, “No problems; ya mon!”  Anyway, the Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito hoopla seems to be getting more interesting by the day.  I see that […]

Baseball over, basketball beginning and my Miami Dolphins suffering (even after an overtime win).  Should be a great slate of college football this Saturday with a mid-day match-up between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs and a nightcap of Florida State vs. Miami.  I can only imagine how crazy it will be in Brickell on […]

Jay Z Shouts To Worldwide Wes: “Everywhere We Go We Leave A Worldwide Mess”

You may have noticed that Sports Agent Blog was down for about a 24-hour period this week.  I apologize for the downtime and am glad that the site is back up and operational.  The website crashed as I was in New York moderating a performance enhancing drug panel put on by Pure Sport, which featured […]

Busy busy week.  Prepping hard for a hearing on a preliminary injunction in a major trademark infringement case, picked up a new NFLPA grievance and there was that whole Dyron Dye situation I had to deal with.  Thank G-d the weekend is here, although while I will be having a little fun, it will be […]
